BBG News

This week, Lana Del Rey posted unique photos from her secret wedding ceremony with Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide, for everyone to see.

39-year-old singer, set to promote her forthcoming country album “The Right Person Will Stay” at StageCoach 2025 towards the end of this month, has recently posted heartwarming pictures on social media showing her and her partner in wedding attire (bride and groom hats) from their September 2024 wedding ceremony.

The music sensation donned a delicate, cream-colored eyelet gown featuring tiny pink blossoms, accompanied by a captain’s hat and the word ‘Bride’ intricately stitched on it, complete with a veil attached.

In Louisiana, the airboat captain named Dufrene put on a coordinating hat and affectionately kissed his radiantly happy wife on the cheek.

I simply can’t contain my excitement as I feast my eyes upon this latest photograph! It seems to be a joyous moment commemorating the 50th birthday of our beloved Dufrene, and possibly a sneak peek at an early celebration for Del Rey’s upcoming 40th birthday on June 21st. The pure delight in their expressions speaks volumes about the love they share!

In their heads, each member of the duo donned golden diadems, one bearing the number 50 for Dufrene, while the other displayed 40, belonging to the artist who sings for Diet Mountain Dew.

At the gathering, there were some youthful relatives relishing cupcakes near a big birthday cake adorned with a giant plastic gator.

The skipper of an airboat guides trips through Louisiana’s swamps and marshes, and ingeniously, some of these elements found their way into the celebration organized by his spouse.

A close up of the confection reads ‘Happy Birthday Gator! Always Standing Bayou.’ 

A picture showcased multiple swings suspended from trees draped in moss, emphasizing the tranquility of their rural existence. Meanwhile, a selfie captured the White Mustang vocalist lounging on a white cushion adorned with lavender blooms.

Additionally, Del Rey expressed her thrill over taking part in StageCoach, following the triumph of her performance at the Coachella Music Festival last year.

‘I’m so excited to see everybody in the desert in April!,’ she wrote.

She expressed how these past nine months have been wild and she’s incredibly grateful because on the 25th, it would mark a year since she had the opportunity to headline Coachella. She then posted an advertisement announcing her as the headliner at the country music festival happening in Indio, CA.

I appreciate my friends at the festival for giving me the chance to perform my fresh tunes this year. It’s been a secret that I would be singing ‘Henry, Come On’, as hinted on my social media accounts back in March.

She also thanked her ‘amazing band,’ for ‘helping me kick things off with rehearsals this week.’

One picture offered a glimpse into the singer’s rural makeover, showcasing a white sundress and a couple of white cowboy boots. In another image, the MTV Video Music Awards victor showcased a fresh pair of work boots and afforded fans a close-up view of her vintage wedding ring.

She expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thanks, Sketchers, for crafting an outstanding partnership with John Deere. Honestly, I can’t hide my pride in this achievement. Could you expedite sending more work boots for the guys as soon as possible?

In the year 2019, the singer initially encountered a man who is a father of two children. Later, on August 25, they were observed walking together, linked by hands, in England.

Last year, she went to Karen Elson’s wedding alongside her partner, Dufrene. The affectionate duo were spotted holding hands at the glitzy event, where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were also present.

On August 25, 2024, Lana made their relationship official with Jeremy. The duo was seen strolling hand-in-hand and enjoying a romantic dinner together in London, following her performance at the Leeds Festival.

According to the report, she took him to her latest series of concerts in the UK, marking a significant move. He’s a great guy and she finds herself deeply drawn to him. He’s an excellent parent, and there’s nothing but praise for him from those who know him best.

In the first alligator boat trip she took in 2019, Lana posted pictures of the experience on both Instagram and Facebook for her followers to see.

As a connoisseur of thrilling experiences, I can’t wait to take the helm at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours! Thanks for the opportunity, Jeremy!

One photo depicted her seated next to Jeremy, sticking her tongue out playfully while he guided the airboat for her.

Additionally, he was seen in the backdrop of a picture showing Lana socializing with her friends, as they were on their tour together.

Besides sharing a picture of himself with Lana on his personal Instagram, Jeremy expressed: ‘On my travels, you never know who I might bump into, but it’s always a delight, @lanadelrey.’

Initially, the two didn’t start dating right away. Instead, Lana went on to date Sean Larkin, who is well-known from Live PD and 52 years old, after their initial encounter.

She then started dating Clayton Johnson, who she got engaged to but later called off.

Subsequently, she was reportedly involved romantically with Jack Donoghue from the Salem music scene, and more recently, with artist Evan Winiker.

Ever since their reunion in May, she’s been keenly interested in the swamp expert, and she’s even sought the assistance of her friends to accompany her on one of his popular airboat tours.

She shared her swamp expedition experience on Instagram, and she also mentioned her alleged partner in a post that went up on May 16th.

‘Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene,’ Lana wrote in the caption. 

Jeremy has been employed as a captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours since at least 2015.

The Instagram account of the tour guide (previously public) showcases an abundance of videos featuring him interacting with the dominant alligators in Bayou des Allemandes, a place frequently known as the “Catfish Capital of the Universe.

He shows no signs of fear as he feeds alligators raw chicken with his hands during his video recordings.

He refers to the alligators as his ‘Cajun yard dogs’ and has names for each of them.

Over time, Dufrene’s exchange tour has been experienced by numerous famous personalities such as Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts, and the most sought-after male lead in Hollywood, Glen Powell.

On a July 2019 Instagram post, Jeremy expressed his delight by saying it was a “treat” or “joy” to accompany Kate and her family for a boat ride, capturing a moment of them smiling on the dock in a picture.

Jeremy expressed his gratitude for their attendance and faith in him regarding their family matters, which garnered a thumbs-up from the Almost Famous actor.

His friendship with Powell dates back to 2015 when the Twisters star first took his air boat tour.

At one point, Glenn publicly acknowledged Dufrene on Instagram by posting an entertaining photo of the two of them enjoying a beer and basking in the sun.

The actor from ‘Anyone But You’, lightheartedly said, ‘That’s J-Bone and me, G-Trash. We’re both unattached and eager to socialize. Look for us either in the swamp or at the Daiquiris To-Go spot next door, or on Craigslist Personals. Apologies for being rowdy… (Not really)!’

Lately, Jeremy has been urging his fans to watch Glen’s recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, which took place in May of this year.

Living simply with Dufrene in Louisiana provides a refreshing contrast for Lana, who has been accustomed to dating numerous celebrities since her rise to fame in 2011.

In November 2012, she had her initial public romantic involvement with Barrie-James O’Neill, a Scottish musician and composer aged 36. The two of them were seen together at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

2013 saw whispers of an engagement for the duo, as Lana was observed sporting a large diamond ring on her wedding finger. However, by 2014, they made public their decision to part ways.

After that, she experienced a fast-paced relationship with the ex-editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, Francesco Carrozzini (born in 1980), in the year 2014.

They enjoyed a shared summer in the picturesque town of Portofino, Italy, prior to the Italian photographer relocating from New York to Los Angeles for a stretch of approximately seven months, to be with Lana.

Nevertheless, their relationship didn’t survive the passage of time, and it was reported that they parted ways around November 2015 by those who were close to them.

In the year 2017, Lana had a romantic spree with rapper G-Eazy, which lasted for several months following their encounter at Coachella. However, the relationship cooled off in August when G-Eazy started seeing Halsey.

After being born in New York, she subsequently continued her life with Sean Larkin, who is both a police officer and a well-known personality from the Emmy-winning reality TV show Live PD.

The duo were first pictured on a date in Central Park in September 2019.

In December 2019, Del Rey and Larkin publicly confirmed their romantic partnership on Instagram, and since then, they’ve walked the red carpet together at multiple events.

Unfortunately, the love didn’t last. By March 2020, the pair had split up.

‘Right now, we’re just friends,’ Larkin shared in an interview with The New York Times that month.

Lana met musician Clayton Johnson — member of brother trio the Johnsons — via a dating app.

Johnson is both a model and a musician, and has appeared in videos like DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean.” There were rumors that they became engaged as well.

During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, keen-eyed spectators noticed a stone adorning the singer’s finger while performing.

The picture, posted on Instagram, later revealed her wearing the ring, indicating an affectionate kiss between the two. (Or alternatively) In the photo shared on Instagram, she was spotted with the ring on, hinting at a loving kiss between them.)

By autumn of 2021, it seemed our relationship had ended, and I removed all pictures of the singer from my Instagram profile.

Following whispers about a romantic involvement with Jack Donoghue, a popular musician from Salem, in the beginning of 2022, Lana has been connected to Evan Winiker, aged 41, although the specific details of their relationship are kept confidential.
