Lana Del Rey's 'Alligator Love': How Jeremy Dufrene Won Her Heart
Lana Del Rey Spills the Tea on Her Whirlwind Romance with Louisiana Tour Guide Jeremy Dufrene
In a rare and juicy interview, Grammy-nominated singer Lana Del Rey opens up about her unconventional marriage to Jeremy Dufrene, a rugged Louisiana bayou tour guide who's not afraid of getting his hands dirty among alligators. The pop star shares intimate details about their romance, which started when she took one of his swamp excursions in 2019 and has been going strong ever since.
According to Del Rey, it was love at first sight – or should we say, "love at first gator encounter?" She recalls being drawn to Dufrene's calm and strong presence, which must be a requirement for anyone working with wild beasts. "Jeremy is the kind of guy who can just chill with alligators all day," she says with a laugh. "I mean, I was a little intimidated at first, but he told me, 'Don't worry about me, I've got this.'"
The singer reveals that their whirlwind romance was marked by intense scrutiny from the media and paparazzi drones flying over their home to capture photos of their wedding and early days as newlyweds. "If I were him, I'd be nervous too," Del Rey admits. "But Jeremy just smiled and said, 'Don't worry about me.'"
The couple tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony by the water in Des Allemands, Louisiana – the same spot where Dufrene runs his popular swamp tours. And what's more romantic than sharing your first kiss with a gator-filled backdrop? Del Rey confirms that she and her new husband even share a quirky ritual called "parking-lot time," where they spend hours reading or talking in their car, often parked in deserted lots like Macy's or Home Depot.
When asked if she'd written any songs about her husband, Del Rey coyly reveals that fans have already heard one on her upcoming album, Stove. The song? "Stars Fell on Alabama" – a haunting ballad that showcases the singer's signature dreamy vocals and introspective lyrics.
Despite being one of the most acclaimed artists of her generation, Del Rey confesses she has no interest in writing a memoir. "Absolutely not," she declares. "There are just too many personal things I can't talk about. I've spent years thinking about it, but honestly, it's a lose-lose situation."
When asked what drew her to Dufrene's unconventional profession, Del Rey quips, "Well, Louisiana has nicer alligators than Florida." She even jokes that she and Dufrene often swim in the bayou together – although she makes sure to bring some backup from Jeremy.
As for their wedding day, thescholarlynote.com obtained exclusive photos of Lana being walked down the aisle by her father Robert Grant with a floral bouquet in hand. And what a picturesque setting it was! After exchanging vows, Dufrene even grabbed onto his new wife's hand as they made their way to the outdoor reception.
The couple's romance has been likened to a fairytale – and according to sources close to the singer, Del Rey's friends were thrilled when she finally settled down with Dufrene. "Jeremy is different from the men Lana meets in the entertainment world," an insider reveals. "He's charming, charismatic, and treats her like royalty."
So what does the future hold for this unlikely power couple? Only time will tell – but one thing's for sure: they're making waves in the music industry with their love story.
