Lana Del Rey, the queen of dreamy, melancholy ballads, just traded in her flower crown for a wedding veil! That’s right, at the ripe young age of 39, she took the plunge and said “I do” to none other than Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator hunter. Yep, you heard that correctly. Alligators.
The wedding went down on Thursday (September 26) at the very romantic Swamp Boat Harbor in Louisiana. Imagine the vibes: murky waters, the sweet hum of mosquitoes, and the gentle grunts of lurking gators giving their approval. Talk about a swamp-tacular ceremony!
Apparently, before all the matrimonial madness, the lovebirds swung by the courthouse on Monday to grab a marriage license, as one does. No word on whether Jeremy wrangled a gator to celebrate or if Lana wrote a new ballad about courtroom romance.
Oh, but wait—it gets better!
Jeremy Dufrene, Lana’s new hubby, is no average Joe. He’s a proud father of two, an alligator-whisperer by trade, and spends his days giving tourists a heart-pounding experience at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours in Des Allemands, Louisiana. This guy can probably wrestle a gator, cook up some mean gumbo, and still make it home in time for bedtime stories. A man of many talents, ladies and gentlemen!
The duo first raised eyebrows in August 2024 when they were spotted holding hands across the pond in England. Nothing screams “public debut” like a little PDA in rainy ol’ London! But their love story goes even further back. Legend has it they first locked eyes in March 2019 when Lana took one of Jeremy’s airboat tours. Perhaps it was love at first gator sighting? Maybe Jeremy popped the question mid-swamp, while Lana serenaded a nearby pelican. Who’s to say?
So grab your airboats, love is truly in the air (and possibly in the swamp). Here’s wishing the new Mr. and Mrs. Dufrene a lifetime of love, laughter, and not getting eaten by alligators!
