“He Was Engaged With Someone Else?” Lana Del Rey Got Secretly Married and Here What We Know About Her Husband

Lana Del Rey, the famous singer known for her dreamy, melancholic music, recently surprised fans with news of a secret wedding. While Lana has always kept her personal life private, reports have surfaced that she tied the knot with a man outside the entertainment industry - Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide. Details about her husband are scarce, but here is what we know for now.

How they met.

The singer first met her now-husband, Jeremy Dufrene, back in March 2019 when she took one of his alligator tours in Bayou des Allemands, Louisiana, which is known as the "Catfish Capital of the World." They both shared pictures from the tour and started following each other on social media shortly after.

Fast-forward to May 2024, Lana traveled back to Louisiana. The singer reconnected with Dufrene and posted about him on Instagram, calling him "my guy." By August, the two were spotted holding hands at the Leeds Festival in England, which set off dating rumors.

They ended up getting married secretly.

On September 26, 2024, just three days after getting their marriage license, Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene shocked fans by tying the knot in Des Allemands, Louisiana, right by the public bayou. They exchanged vows next to Bayou des Allemands, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Lana looked stunning in a white lace ballgown with ruffled details, and her father walked her down the aisle. Despite the surprise ceremony, neither Lana nor Jeremy have publicly commented on their wedding yet.

Here’s what we know about her husband.

Jeremy Dufrene is 10 years older than Lana and has three children — a son and two daughters — from a previous relationship. Before becoming an airboat captain, he worked at a chemical plant and spent time as a shrimp fisherman. Currently, he’s a tour guide with Arthur’s Airboat Tours in Louisiana.

He takes tourists through the swamps and marshes, showing them local wildlife like alligators, herons, egrets, and over 300 species of birds. Dufrene’s job allows visitors to experience the natural beauty of the bayou up close, making each tour a unique, immersive adventure.

People commented on different aspects of this wedding.

• It’s not a scandal she hid it... privacy and having a relationship is needed. This man isn’t used to being chased by tabloids and has a child. She was protecting them too. © mareza415 / Instagram

Not everyone believes that their marriage is sincere. So that’s what people say, sometimes with a bit of sarcasm, about their relationships overall.
