Lana Del Rey shared never-before-seen snaps from her surprise wedding to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene this week.
The singer, 39, who will be promoting her upcoming country album, The Right Person Will Stay, at StageCoach 2025 later this month, shared romantic photos of the couple clad in bride and groom hats from the September 2024 nuptials.
The hitmaker wore a strappy cream toned eyelet dress, with small pink flowers and a captain’s hats, with ‘Bride’ embroidered on with an attached veil.
Dufrene, who is an airboat captain in Louisiana, wore a matching hat, and planted a kiss on his blissful bride’s cheek.
Another snap shows the couple celebrating what appears to be Dufrene’s 50th birthday and perhaps an early celebration for Del Rey’s 40th which will take place on June 21.
The couple were both wearing gold crowns on their heads with the number 50 on Dufrene’s and the number 40 on the Diet Mountain Dew singer’s.

The party included some young family members who were enjoying cupcakes next to a sheet cake featuring a large plastic alligator.
The airboat captain leads tours through the swamps and marshes of Louisiana, and his wife cleverly included some of those details in the celebration.

One photo featuring several swings hanging from moss covered trees appeared to highlight the peacefulness of their backcountry life. A selfie headshot showed the White Mustang singer reclining against a white pillow with lavender flowers.
Del Rey also shared her excitement at participating in StageCoach after the success of her appearance at last year’s Coachella music festival.
‘I’m so excited to see everybody in the desert in April!,’ 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,’ she said, sharing a poster advertising her as a headliner at the country music festival that will take place in Indio, CA.

‘Thank you to my buddies over there at the festival for letting me play my new songs this year for you.’ She was expected to sing Henry, Come On, which she teased on social media in late March.
She also thanked her ‘amazing band,’ for ‘helping me kick things off with rehearsals this week.’
One photo shared a peek at the singer’s country transformation, featuring a white sundress and a couple pairs of white Western boots. In another photo, the MTV Video Music Award winner modeled the a new pair of work boots and gave fans an up close look at her antique wedding ring.
‘Thank you sketchers for making the finest damn collaboration with John Deere. I’m not gonna lie. I’m proud of you for that. Please send more work boots for the boys ASAP,’ she wrote.
The singer first met the father-of-two in 2019, before being spotted holding hands with him on August 25 in England.
She then attended Karen Elson’s wedding with Dufrene last year – with the smitten couple holding hands at the star-studded bash – which saw Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in attendance.
Lana went public with Jeremy on August 25 2024, when the pair were spotted holding hands and having a romantic meal together in London after she performed at Leeds Festival.
The source added: ‘She brought him to her most recent string of shows in the UK which was a big step. He is a good guy and she is wildly attracted to him. He is a good father and no one who knows him has anything bad to say about him.’
During Lana’s initial alligator boat tour in 2019, she shared photos with her fans on Instagram and Facebook.
In the caption, the Born to Die singer wrote: ‘Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.’
One of the snaps showed her sitting beside Jeremy with her tongue out as he helped her steer the air boat.
He also appeared in the background of a photo of Lana posing up with her girlfriends during the tour.
Jeremy also posted a photo with Lana to his own Instagram, writing: ‘I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey.’
But the pair didn’t date immediately, with Lana going on to date Live PD hunk Sean Larkin, 52, following their first meeting.
She then started dating Clayton Johnson, who she got engaged to but later called off.
She then had rumored flings with Salem rocker Jack Donoghue and, most recently, musician Evan Winiker.
She has had her sights set on the swamp expert since their May reunion, as she enlisted the help of her friends to join her on one of his famous airboat excursions.
Jeremy is a divorced father-of-three who works as a tour guide at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours, a small business located in the unincorporated community of Des Allemands, Louisiana
She documented the swamp adventure on her Instagram and even tagged her rumored boyfriend in a post published on May 16.
‘Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene,’ Lana wrote in the caption.
Jeremy has been employed as a captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours since at least 2015.
The tour guide’s Instagram page — which is now private — is filled with videos of his interactions with the wild alligators that rule Bayou des Allemandes, which is often referred to as the ‘Catfish Capital of the Universe.’
He seems absolutely fearless while filming Reels of himself feeding alligators pieces of raw chicken by hand.
He refers to the alligators as his ‘Cajun yard dogs’ and has names for each of them.
Dufrene’s swap tour has been taken by a host of celebrities over the years, including Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts and Hollywood’s hottest leading man Glen Powell.
In a July 2019 Instagram post, Jeremy gushed that it was his ‘pleasure’ to take Kate and her family out on the water as they posed for a photo on the dock.
‘thanks for coming and trusting me with your family,’ wrote Jeremy, who earned a ‘like’ from the Almost Famous star.
His friendship with Powell dates back to 2015 when the Twisters star first took his air boat tour.
Glenn gave Dufrene a major shout-out on his Instagram at the time as he shared a fun snap of the duo drinking a beer and soaking up the sun.
‘J-Bone and G-Trash. We’re both single and ready to mingle. Find us on the swamp or at the Daiquiris To-Go place next door or on Craigslist Personals. Sorry for partying. (Not sorry),’ joked the Anyone But You star.
More recently, Jeremy encouraged his followers to ‘check out’ his pal Glen’s appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show in May of this year.
Dufrene’s down-to-earth lifestyle in Louisiana is a nice change for Lana, who has dated a slew of famous faces since she achieved mainstream success in 2011.
Her first public romance was with Scottish singer-songwriter Barrie-James O’Neill, 36, who she attended the MTV Europe Music Awards with in November 2012.
Engagement rumors swirled about the pair in 2013, after Lana was spotted with a huge diamond on her ring finger. But by 2014, the couple announced their breakup.
She then enjoyed a whirlwind romance with former editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, Francesco Carrozzini, 41, in 2014.
They spent the summer together in Portofino, Italy before the Italian photographer moved from New York to Los Angeles for seven months to be with Lana.
However, their love didn’t stand the test of time, and insiders shared the pair broke up sometime in November 2015.
After meeting at Coachella in 2017, Lana enjoyed a months-long fling with rapper G-Eazy. Things fizzled out that August as G-Eazy began dating Halsey.
The New York born beauty then moved on with Sean Larkin – a cop and reality TV star from the Emmy-winning documentary series Live PD.
The duo were first pictured on a date in Central Park in September 2019.
Del Rey and Larkin made their relationship Instagram official in December 2019 and went on to attend several red carpet events as a couple.
Unfortunately, the love didn’t last. By March 2020, the pair had split up.
‘Right now, we’re just friends,’ Larkin shared in an interview with The New York Times that month.
Lana met musician Clayton Johnson — member of brother trio the Johnsons — via a dating app.
Johnson is a model and musician and has made cameos in music videos such as DNCE’s Cake By The Ocean. The pair even reportedly got engaged.
