Lana Del Rey is offering fans a rare glimpse into her private life, sharing a never-before-seen photo from her wedding to Jeremy Dufrene just weeks before their first anniversary. The singer, known for her dreamy visuals and deeply personal lyrics, posted the dimly lit image on Instagram, showing her standing at the altar with Dufrene, holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes.
The ceremony took place on 26 September 2024 in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, deep in the bayou where Dufrene runs swamp boat tours. The location wasn’t just scenic, it held deep personal meaning for the couple, as it was where they first met. A small circle of family and friends witnessed the ceremony, officiated by Churchome pastor Judah Smith, who was also tagged in Del Rey’s heartfelt caption: “May 12 angels guard you while you preach tonight.”
While their romance only became public in August 2024 after a Reddit user spotted them together in London, sources confirm their connection goes back years. Dufrene had appeared on Del Rey’s Facebook as early as 2019, though no romantic involvement was confirmed at the time.
Since marrying, Del Rey and Dufrene have fully embraced their quirky love story. In April, they celebrated with an alligator-themed birthday cake and matching “bride” and “groom” boat captain hats. Del Rey’s hat even featured a short wedding veil. The cake, shaped like a gator rising from the water, read “Happy birthday gator! Always standing bayou.”
Friends close to Del Rey describe the relationship as whirlwind yet grounded, calling Dufrene a Southern gentleman who treats her with the kind of old-fashioned care she values. As their one-year anniversary approaches, the newly shared photo offers fans a tender look into a love story as unconventional as it is sincere.
