Lana Del Rey Gets Married to Alligator Tour Guide From Louisiana

Pop star Lana Del Rey has reportedly married her alligator tour guide boyfriend, Jeremy Dufrene, in a surprise wedding in Louisiana. The couple, who applied for a marriage license earlier in the week, tied the knot on Thursday in Des Allemands, a bayou where Dufrene operates swamp boat tours.

Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, was seen in a flowing white wedding gown, while Dufrene ditched his signature trucker hat for a black suit. The intimate ceremony reportedly took place by the water, with Del Rey’s father walking her down the aisle. The reception followed at the same bayou location, with white tents and tables set up for guests.

Reports indicate that Del Rey and Dufrene first met in 2019 when the singer took one of his alligator boat tours during a trip to Louisiana. Though they didn’t begin dating immediately, the pair reconnected earlier this year and have since been spotted together at various public events, including Del Rey’s recent performances at the Reading and Leeds festivals.

Dufrene, a Louisiana native and divorced father of three, is known for his work as a tour guide at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours, where he interacts with wildlife, particularly alligators. Del Rey, 39, who rose to fame with her hit song Video Games in 2011, is reportedly worth $30 million. This is her first marriage, while it marks Dufrene’s second.

Despite concerns from some of Del Rey’s friends about the relationship, sources close to the couple say Dufrene treats the singer well and that his successful business means he isn’t after her money. Their low-key romance has drawn attention due to the contrast between Del Rey’s glamorous music career and Dufrene’s down-to-earth lifestyle.

The wedding comes just a month after their relationship became public, and fans are eager to see what the future holds for the newlyweds.
