Lana Del Rey Unveils Wedding Memento: From Alligator Tour Guide to Celebrity Romance!

SINGER SWEPT OFF HER FEET BY LOVE OF THE BAYOU: LANA DEL REY'S ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER WITH AIRBOAT GUIDE

In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Lana Del Rey has revealed a rare wedding memento just shy of her first anniversary with Louisiana airboat guide Jeremy Dufrene. The 40-year-old singer-songwriter shared a tantalizing glimpse into their whirlwind romance on social media, leaving fans and critics alike buzzing with curiosity.

A peek into the couple's special day revealed an ornate rose pin, a delicate white lace doily embroidered with their initials 'L & J', and a blurry snap of Dufrene's airboat, which he captains through the Louisiana bayou. But what caught everyone's attention was Del Rey's decision to flaunt her toned physique, sparking rumors about her rumored use of trendy weight-loss medication.

The 40-year-old Abyss singer shared a snap of an ornate rose pin as well as a white lace doily that was red-stitched with their first initials 'L & J' for their big day

The 11-time Grammy nominee and Jeremy reportedly obtained their marriage license on September 23, but whispers are circulating that they may have avoided a prenuptial agreement, leaving Lana's reported $60M fortune vulnerable. Insiders claim the couple met in 2019 when Dufrene let Del Rey captain his airboat during a tour with Arthur's Airboat Tours – a company that also hosted their intimate nuptials on the bayou of Des Allemandes.

Del Rey has been vocal about her disdain for the 'singer's curse', where artists often find themselves compromising their values to maintain their fame. In a recent Variety event, she revealed her producer Jack Antonoff was an inspiration in finding a genuine partner like Jeremy: "He showed me that it's possible to have a healthy relationship in this industry... I feel like there's a stigma around meeting someone who genuinely cares about you, and not just using you for your fame."

But what sparked controversy is Del Rey's upcoming album 'Lasso', which appears to contain tracks aimed at her critics – particularly trans singer-songwriter Ethel Cain. In a snippet of track 13, titled 'All About Ethel' by fans, Lana seemingly dissed Cain: "Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Thinks it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose..."

Lana (born Elizabeth Grant) posted a glimpse at her wedding ring as well as her substantial thigh gap, which many believe came courtesy of a trendy GLP-1 weight-loss drug

Insiders claim Del Rey was responding to graphic side-by-side images posted by Cain, which compared her weight and physique to the singer. Del Rey later took to social media to share her reaction, saying she was 'disturbed' by Cain's actions and even blocked the young artist on Instagram.

But this isn't the first time the two have clashed. In 2022, Ethel Instastoried an update after Lana referenced her 2021 profile in The New York Times as a diss track lyric: "The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don't regret it." Insiders claim Cain was referencing Del Rey's infamous 'Chicago pose' incident, where she copied her while posing next to her ex-boyfriend Jack Donoghue.

In a shocking twist, Ethel recently penned a 2K-word apology for resurfaced tweets that included the N-word and references to building walls and legalizing incest. The trans artist claimed they were victims of a targeted smear campaign, but Del Rey's fans are having none of it – with many calling out Ethel for her own problematic behavior.

Del Rey - who boasts 65.9M social media followers - also shared a blurry snap of the 50-year-old father-of-three's airboat that he regularly captains in Louisiana
