Lana Del Rey Marries Alligator Tour Guide Jeremy Dufrene in Louisiana (original) (raw)

Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene have tied the knot.

Del Rey, 39, and Dufrene exchanged their "I do's" on Thursday, Sept. 26 in Des Allemandes, Louisiana at the public bayou where he works as a captain at Airboat Tours by Arthur, PEOPLE can confirm.

Daily Mail U.S. obtained photos of the celebration.

PEOPLE previously confirmed the pair obtained a marriage license from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court in Louisiana on September 23. After they obtained the license they had 30 days from the date they applied to get married.

In the photos published by the Daily Mail, the singer wore a floor-length white gown with a scooped, ruffled neckline and had her hair tied back with a light blue ribbon, falling in curls over the left shoulder.

Per the Daily Mail, Del Rey appeared to have been walked down the aisle by her father, Robert Grant, while holding a flower bouquet.

In several photos and a video from the outlet, Del Rey also walked hand-in-hand with Dufrene, who wore a dark suit, white shirt and smart brown shoes, as they passed several white tents full of chairs and tables set up by the waterside. One tent appeared to have been used for the ceremony, as it featured chairs lined up in rows facing one end of the structure.

Elsewhere, tables and chairs were set up outside on the grass, as well as under another tent, seemingly for a reception dinner, as guests in suits, dresses and other formal wear mingled on the harbour. One boat was even moored nearby decorated with greenery and white flowers, apparently for Del Rey and Dufrene's nuptials.

The singer's siblings, Caroline Grant and Charlie Hill-Grant were also in attendance, per the Daily Mail, though there were no photographs of Del Rey's mom, Patricia Hill.

Representatives for Del Rey did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Though the couple has not been publicly dating for long, their reported nuptials come several years after the “Summertime Sadness” singer first met the Louisiana boat captain. Del Rey first shared photos with Dufrene on Facebook in 2019 after she took one of his wildlife tours.

"Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours," she captioned a set of images on Facebook.

More recently, the Grammy-nominated artist sparked rumors of her and Dufrene dating in May 2024 when she tagged him in an Instagram post, seemingly referring to him as her "guy."

She captioned the photo, which featured the singer and her two siblings, "Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene @codyjay."

Then, in August 2024, a TikTok user shared a brief video of the singer walking hand-in-hand with a Dufrene at the Leeds Festival in England, where Del Rey was performing.

However, the Born to Die singer didn't confirm their relationship until September.
