Lana Del Rey has married Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator tour guide, just a month after going public with their relationship. The couple exchanged vows in a waterfront ceremony in Des Allemands, Louisiana, where Dufrene operates his swamp tours. Del Rey, 39, wore a white gown with a ruffled neckline and a flowing skirt, while Dufrene donned a classic black suit. Their relationship reportedly began in 2019 when they first met during one of Dufrene’s airboat tours.
The wedding took place by the bayou, and the reception featured one of Dufrene’s airboats decorated with flowers. Del Rey’s siblings, Caroline Grant and Charlie Hill-Grant, attended, though it is unclear if her mother, Patricia Ann Hill, was present. The couple had picked up their marriage license earlier in the week but had not yet returned it to be recorded. This is Del Rey’s first marriage and Dufrene’s second.
