Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene's love story reads like a Southern fairy tale. The couple first crossed paths in 2019 during a boat tour led by Dufrene, a captain at Airboat Tours by Arthur in Louisiana. It was a chance encounter while Del Rey was in town for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival, and it set the stage for a romantic saga that would unfold over the next few years.
Fast forward to September 7, 2024 – Del Rey introduced Dufrene to the world as her partner at a high-profile wedding in New York City. Just weeks later, the couple made it official, tying the knot on September 26, 2024. Their ceremony was a heartfelt nod to their beginnings, held in the very bayou where they first met. "The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boats tours," shared an insider.
“This is where they first met. It's a special place for them. It was a beautiful, relaxed and family-focused wedding. The focus was just on their love story.”
Since their intimate wedding, Del Rey and Dufrene have shared glimpses of their life together, often through social media. In April 2025, the singer posted a carousel of images that included sweet moments from a birthday party and their everyday life. "This has been such a crazy nine months," she wrote, reflecting on their journey.
The couple's romance has also seen its share of public appearances, including a memorable moment at Paris Fashion Week in October 2025. The duo charmed the crowd at Valentino’s runway show, where they were spotted sharing a kiss from their front-row seats.
Their bond extends beyond personal life into creative ventures as well. In February 2026, Del Rey released her new single "White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter," crediting Dufrene as a co-writer. The couple even shared a playful dance in an Instagram Story to celebrate the song's release.
As March 2026 rolled around, Del Rey posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Dufrene, showcasing their adventures together, from casual outings to precious wedding memories. "Happy birthday week to the sweetest guy I know," she captioned, capturing the essence of their enduring romance.
