Lana Del Rey has married a tour guide from Louisiana named Jeremy Dufrene, who gives alligator tours in his native Louisiana. The intimate wedding between them took place on Thursday, September 26, 2024, in the picturesque Des Allemandes, Louisiana – right by the bayou where Jeremy works. The sudden union of the artist and her beaver trapper love has sent fans into a whirlwind of mixed emotions, and their whirlwind romance is the talk of social media.
The actual wedding was an intimate, simple, and enchanting garden affair with family and close friends present. Lana Del Rey, 39, looked stunning in a flowing white full-length gown that matched the serenity of nature; her father, Robert Grant, gave her away. Jeremy Dufrene, 35 years old, used the quintessential black suit with a white shirt and leather shoes. They took their vows from each other under the open sky, having the bayou as a serene backdrop. The reception after the ceremony was held under a jumbo tent by the harbor, where one celebrated in real Louisiana fashion.
While it was a surprise for many, the wedding of Lana and Jeremy started when the two met on one of Jeremy’s wild life boat tours back in 2019. Lana had taken the tour to see the swampy beauty of Louisiana little realizing that on this day she would meet a man she would someday marry. The two then kept a low profile for several years until their eventual reconnective early in 2024, when romance measurably kicked off.
Their relationship was just made public last month, and it had been placing them at several events together, some being the Leeds Festival which took place last August 2024.
The pace at which their romance has moved has been so surprising that it has left fans both delighted and baffled. Lana has been long an enigmatic, rather larger-than-life persona, and Jeremy’s more down-to-earth lifestyle of being a swamp tour guide seemed like an odd match to her. But friends close to them say they are deeply in love, committed to each other.
Social media was filled with varied reactions of equal measure from fans upon news of the singer’s wedding. Many have been shocked by the suddenness of the marriage and Lana’s choice of partner, just considering how high-profile her career has been in comparison to Jeremy’s very low-key one. Similarly, many fans were in shock over comments at how unusual this pairing was, while others were thrilled to see the singer so happy, congratulating them with heartfelt congratulations upon the couple’s union.
“Lana marrying a swamp tour guide? Saw that coming not one bit but I AM ALL FOR IT she deserves to be happy,” tweeted one fan.
“Still trying to wrap my head around Lana Del Rey being married to an alligator tour guide. but if she’s happy then I’m happy,” said another.
Lana’s family was very special at the wedding. Her father Robert Grant was proud as he escorted her up the aisle while her mother Patricia Ann Hill was supported by her sister Caroline Grant and brother Charlie Hill-Grant. The wedding was intimate, reflecting the couple’s wishes for a personal and intimate ceremony rather than large and grand.
This month, the newlyweds made their first public appearance as newlyweds at Karen Elson’s Wedding, coming up hand in hand, looking very happy. Lana gave insights into their life on social media, too; she posted shots of their adventures and cozy moments by the bayou.
