Lana Del Rey’s Surprise Wedding: Who’s the Lucky Groom?

Lana Del Rey has reportedly tied the knot with swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene. The singer, known for hits like “Say Yes to Heaven” and “Summertime Sadness,” was photographed during the wedding ceremony on Thursday in Des Allemands, Louisiana, at the bayou where Dufrene works. The Daily Mail shared images and footage from the event.

Representatives for Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation.

Photos showed the 39-year-old singer in a floor-length wedding gown, accompanied by her father, Robert Grant. Her sister Caroline Grant and brother Charlie Hill-Grant were also present. Dufrene traded in his typical camouflage attire for a classic dark three-piece suit. Dufrene’s employer’s airboats were docked nearby, with one decorated with flowers for the occasion.

The reception was held at the public harbor, featuring several tables and large tents, while the ceremony reportedly took place inside a tent out of view.

Reports from TMZ and People indicated that the couple obtained a marriage license from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court in Louisiana earlier in the week, which allowed them 30 days to marry.

Del Rey and Dufrene have known each other for several years, with Del Rey posting about one of his tours back in 2019. Dating rumors emerged in May when Del Rey tagged Dufrene in an Instagram post and referred to him as “my guy.” The couple was spotted holding hands at the Reading & Leeds Festival in August and attended a wedding together in New York City in early September.

This marks Del Rey’s first marriage and Dufrene’s second; he has three children from a previous marriage. Before becoming a tour guide, Dufrene worked at a chemical plant but later pursued his passion for wildlife and customer interaction, earning his captain’s license.

Del Rey has publicly shared her personal connections to musicians Jack Donoghue and Clayton Johnson, along with a relationship with retired police sergeant Sean “Sticks” Larkin. She once famously advertised her 2023 post-breakup album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” with a billboard in Larkin’s hometown.
