On Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, Lana Del Rey officially debuted her relationship with Jeremy Dufrene, bringing him as her plus one to the wedding of model Karen Elson and Lee Foster in New York City. The couple walked out of Electric Lady Studios hand-in-hand wearing big smiles.

Del Rey was also wearing a satin blue halter dress with white ballet flats while Dufrene wore a blue suit with a white button-up shirt and brown shoes.

Weeks later, they got married. On Sept. 26, 2024, People reported that the couple obtained a marriage certificate. They had their ceremony that same day. Here’s everything to know about Jeremy Dufrene, Del Rey’s husband.

Dufrene operates as a captain for a tour boat company in Des Allemands, Louisiana, close to New Orleans, called Airboat Tours by Arthur. The tours focus on local wildlife and apparently the company has a good reputation. In his bio, Dufrene says he once worked at a chemical plant and enjoys shrimping.

“After a little convincing by his family, he got his captain’s license and started running tours,” it continues.

According to People, Dufrene has three children, a son and two daughters.

Del Rey made an appearance in one of Dufrene’s social media posts in 2019 after taking a tour of his while visiting for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival. In a now private post on Instagram, Dufrene wrote, “I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey.”

She also shared shots of him in Facebook posts, captioning them, “Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours.”

In May 2024, Del Rey reportedly took another tour. She tagged him in the caption of a photo with friends.

In August 2024, they were spotted at Reading & Leeds Festival and were seen in a video on TikTok holding hands. They then headed to London for a visit to Harrod’s and a local pub, according to the Daily Mail. After the images circulated, Del Rey denied she and Dufrene were dating in a comment on TikTok, simply writing “No” on a video about their alleged relationship. But it seems to now be a yes.

People reported on Sept. 26, 2024 that the couple obtained a marriage license from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court on September 23. They had 30 days from that date to tie the knot.

The same day as People broke the news, Del Rey and Dufrene got married in Des Allemandes, Louisiana. They had their ceremony at the bayou where Dufrene works. Daily Mail obtained photos of Del Rey walking with her father there, wearing a ruffle neckline gown with a full skirt. She had a blue ribbon tied in her hair, which was styled in a side ponytail.

Another source told People that the couple chose a place close to their hearts for the ceremony.

“The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boats tours,” said the 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.”

The source shared more about their love story, saying that Del Rey and Dufrene “initially met a few years ago the first time and then reconnected earlier this year.”

They added, “It’s been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana’s close friends hoped she would get married. Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He’s a great guy. He’s charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman and he treats Lana really well. She’s an old soul.”

Del Rey reportedly found her dress for the ceremony at a local boutique in New Orleans, months before even going public with her and Jeremy Dufrene's relationship.

Unlike most stars that opt to get custom gowns made from designers like Vera Wang called Vintage Market by Trashy Diva, purchasing it in May. A source told TMZ that it’s “unclear whether Lana strolled into the store specifically hunting for a wedding dress, but after trying on a bunch of other stuff, she ended up falling for the dress she spotted in the window.”

The insider didn’t know the price, but they estimated that $400 is the “typical price range for wedding dresses at the store, which features curated styles from the 1920s to Y2K.”

On Oct. 25, Del Rey attended the InStyle Imagemaker Awards and was asked about her marriage for the first time publicly.

She simply replied, “It’s good. We’re happy.”

On Saturday, December 7, Del Rey attended Variety’s Hitmakers Brunch and spoke in honor of producer Jack Antonoff as he was named Producer of the Decade. During her speech, Del Rey opened up about her husband and how Antonoff’s relationship with his wife, Margaret Qualley, inspired her to connect with Dufrene.

“Most of all, I’m grateful for him for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret,” the singer said, after thanking him for his work on her music. “I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband.”

She also admitted that having a high profile career can make finding an authentic partner difficult.

“I really feel like there’s kind of a singer’s curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race,” she said. “And it’s super nerve-racking to have to hold onto an innocent perception of how things could go when you’re in an industry where maybe your values or your morals don’t quite match up with what’s going on.”

Del Rey added, “Especially when people think that you probably don’t have any morals or values.”

She then thanked Antonoff for “maybe helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I perceive myself.”

In a carousel of pictures posted on April 4, the singer revealed some intimate moments with Dufrene. She was also celebrating upcoming shows at Stagecoach music festival. In the caption, she wrote, “this has been such a crazy nine months and I’m so blessed that come the 25th, It will have been a year since I got to headline Coachella. Thank you to my buddies over there at the festival for letting me play my new songs this year for you—and to my amazing band helping me kick things off with rehearsals this week.”

The carousel included a picture from a birthday party where she and Dufrene are wearing matching tiaras, as well as the crocodile-themed birthday cake referencing Dufrene’s business. There was also a sweet photo of Dufrene embracing Del Rey from behind.

The couple seemed to be enjoying New York City in early spring and summer, based on a few posts from Del Rey. On May 7, she tagged Dufrene in a few clips and photos from a jazz club, writing they brought “a little taste of New Orleans” to the city.

On June 8, she shared a carousel of photos, many taken in New York City, including a mirror selfie with a bunch of friends where it looks like Dufrene is standing behind her.

During her tour stop in Cardiff, Wales, on June 23, Del Rey made her affection for Dufrene very public. While performing “Stars Fell on Alabama,” she briefly stepped to the side of the stage to kiss her husband. After the moment of PDA, she returned to the mic and resumed singing.

On July 31, 2025, Del Rey offered a rare glimpse of her and Duferene’s private September 2024 wedding. She posted a photo from the ceremony on Instagram, featuring herself in a flowy white gown with a bow in her hair as she held hands with Dufrene, who wore a black suit.
