Lana Del Rey's jealousy sparks tension between husband Jeremy Dufrene and ex-fiancée

Lana Del Rey married Louisiana native Dufrene in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends.

Lana Del Rey's 'jealousy' has reportedly caused a major conflict between her new husband Jeremy Dufrene and his longtime ex-fiancée, who is now prohibited from visiting their marital home to see her daughter.

The singer, 39, married Louisiana native Dufrene, 49, in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends on Thursday at the bayou where they first met five years ago during one of his well-known swamp tours.

Sources have now disclosed that Del Rey had been in contact with the gator guide throughout the last four years of his 13-year relationship with Kelli Welsh, 45. Their friendship has deteriorated since Del Rey and Dufrene began their relationship.

Welsh, who was caught off guard by the news of the couple’s backyard wedding, was reportedly also unaware that Del Rey and Dufrene had packed up the last of her belongings from the home they once shared – including her crystals, which they believed carried her 'energy.'

“Jeremy and Lana started talking in 2019, but they never stopped,” the insider told DailyMail.com. “At one point, she messaged him on social media, and told him that she was taking a break for a while, but he can call her anytime.”

“This is while he was engaged to Kelli. Lana knew that Jeremy was engaged. He was very honest about this and had photos of Kelli and the kids on his own social media.”

Welsh and Dufrene began dating when she was 16 and he was 19, but they split up after a year.

Dufrene later married his first wife Gina, with whom he shares two sons and a daughter.

After their marriage ended, he reconnected with Welsh in 2011, having stayed in touch over the years.

He proposed to Welsh in 2012, but despite their long-standing relationship, they never married and eventually parted ways last October. Dufrene also raised Welsh’s daughter Alana, now 20, as his own. Alana continues to live with him, while Welsh has since moved to Texas.
