Lana Del Rey has reportedly married her boyfriend, alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, in a surprise waterfront ceremony.
The Summertime Sadness singer tied the knot in a romantic setting by the water in Des Allemands, Louisiana, just a month after their surprising relationship became public.
In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the 39-year-old wore a stunning white bridal gown as she walked down the aisle with her father Robert Grant.
Beaming as she approached Dufrene, a divorced father of three, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate outdoor ceremony in the same bayou his swamp boat tours leave from.
Friends and family, including Del Ray’s mother Patricia Ann Hill as well her siblings Caroline Grant and Charlie Hill-Grant, gathered for the reception, held at a public harbour adorned with a large tent and multiple tables.
The couple first met in 2019 and were soon spotted holding hands during a trip to the UK. Earlier this month, they attended Karen Elson's star-studded wedding, alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
An insider revealed to the Daily Mail: “She wanted to go on a boat tour since it's a big thing in Louisiana, but she never expected to fall for a gator boat captain.”
Dufrene, who works as a captain for Arthur’s Airboat Tours, guides tourists through Louisiana swamps, offering close-up views of alligators, egrets, and over 300 species of birds.
Before becoming a boat captain, he worked at a chemical plant but later found his true passion in swamp tours.
Her friends were reportedly concerned about his intentions at first, but they soon realised he "treats her well."
The source told the outlet: “His business is lucrative and he doesn’t need or want Lana’s money.
“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.”
In May, she subtly confirmed her relationship with Dufrene by tagging him in an Instagram post. Alongside a picture featuring her two siblings, she captioned it: “Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene @codyjay.”
However, they made their public debut earlier this month when Dufrene accompanied Del Rey to Karen Elson’s wedding at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios.
On Monday, the couple obtained their marriage license, with the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court confirming the news to People on Thursday. They had 30 days from the date of the license to officially wed.
The Standard has contacted Lana Del Ray’s rep for comment.
