Lana Del Rey is officially a married woman as she tied the knot with gator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on Thursday
The unlikely couple exchanged vows by the water in Des Allemandes, Louisiana — the same bayou where Dufrene operates his popular swamp boat tours
In new photos and videos obtained by DailyMail.com exclusively, the Born To Die hitmaker, 39, is seen being walked down the aisle by her father Robert Grant with a floral bouquet in hand
After exchanging vows, Jeremy Dufrene—a Louisiana native and divorced father of three—held Lana’s hand as they headed toward the outdoor reception. The couple strolled past one of Dufrene’s renowned swamp airboats, which was docked and adorned with white flowers for their wedding.
The ceremony and reception took place at a public harbor, where numerous tables were set up under large white tents on the lawn. Lana’s sister, Caroline Grant, and brother, Charlie Hill-Grant, were there to support her on her special day. It is unclear if her mother, Patricia Ann Hill, was present at the event.
For the reception, Lana added a light blue satin bow to her ponytail as her “something blue.” This wedding marks Lana’s first marriage, while it is Dufrene’s second.
The nuptials came just hours after TMZ reported that the couple obtained their marriage license on September 23, which has yet to be returned and officially recorded.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Lana’s representatives for further comments.
Lana first met the father of two in 2019 and was later seen holding hands with him in England on August 25. Earlier this month, she attended Karen Elson’s wedding with Dufrene, where the couple was spotted holding hands at the star-studded event, which included Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce among the guests.

This wedding marks Lana Del Rey’s first marriage, while it is Jeremy Dufrene’s second. Just days prior, Lana broke her silence on their rumored romance by commenting on an Instagram post from @thejustnlife that speculated about their relationship.
The couple was previously spotted holding hands ahead of her performance at the Leeds Festival last month, leading fans to believe she dropped hints about Dufrene in one of her songs. According to a source, “She wanted to go on a boat tour because it’s a big thing in Louisiana, but she never expected to fall for a gator boat captain.”
Lana and Jeremy first met when she performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana in March 2019, during which she took one of his boat tours. When she returned to the area in May for Hangout Fest, they reconnected while both were single. An insider revealed, “He saw his golden opportunity and asked her out, and they have been together since. She loves older men.”
Initially, Lana’s friends were concerned about her relationship with Jeremy, fearing they might uncover something questionable about the divorced father of three. However, they soon recognized that he treats her well and fulfills her needs as a partner. “Her friends and team did some digging on him over fears he could be using her, but his business is lucrative, and he doesn’t need or want Lana’s money,” the source said.
“They can see he treats her right, and he’s very, very low maintenance. He gives her what she is seeking in a man and is romantic.”
