“Do you want children? Do you want to marry me?" asks Lana Del Rey in Sweet , the third song from her latest album Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (2023). We now know to whom she addressed these questions. On September 26, to everyone's surprise, the 39-year-old American singer married discreetly to her partner, Jeremy Dufrene. Photos captured by paparazzi and relayed exclusively by the Daily Mail show the new couple hand in hand, in formal wear, joining the public bayou of the town of Germans, in Louisiana. The very place where Lana Del Rey's now husband, father of two, works as a tour guide on boat trips to see alligators.
Lana Del Rey's Intimate Wedding: Close Family and Friends
The day before, the press and Instagram accounts of fans of the singer reported that the couple had obtained, on September 23, a marriage license from the clerk of the court of Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. Which left him a month to get married. This is clearly done: in the photos, the singer of Born To Die (2012) wears an imposing white wedding dress of Victorian inspiration with a ruffled collar, her hair tied with a large pastel blue ribbon. For his part, Jeremy Dufrene opted for a classic suit and a pair of Richelieus.
In other stolen photos, Lana Del Rey is accompanied by her father, pianist and composer Rob Grant, with a bouquet of flowers in hand, as well as her sister Caroline Grant and her brother Charlie. Her mother, Patricia Hill, does not appear in any photos, Lana Del Rey having been on bad terms with her for years. For the moment, no information has circulated concerning the potential celebrities invited to this event, even if the actress Margaret Qualley - best friend of the singer - was certainly going to be there.
An improbable union
Few people imagined Lana Del Rey getting married one day, as the musician has been known for more than ten years for her shaky love stories that she recounts in the melancholy texts of her songs . However, it was to a man unknown to the public that she said “yes” for good. If the couple has recently been dating under the eyes of the cameras, this marriage occurs several years after the interpreter of Video Games (2012) met the tourist guide. A photo of the duo was in fact shared on Facebook in 2019, when she had just participated in an excursion to Arthur's Air Boat Tours, her husband's company. “Jeremy let me be a captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours,” she captioned the photo.
Shortly before, Lana Del Rey was dating Sean "Sticks" Larkin , a police sergeant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and consultant for the series Live PD . The couple finally separated in March 2020. It was not until July 2023 that the artist revealed the reason for this separation during a concert in London, modifying the lyrics of his song Chemtrails Over The Country Club (2021). “He was born in December, and he got married while we were still together,” she said. Before continuing: “Sometimes I wonder what his wife would think if she knew I knew nothing. He was born in December and I was born in June. He was born in December, and he got married while we were in couples therapy.” Jeremy Dufrene had better keep his mouth shut.
