Lana Del Rey seemingly confirmed rumors that she is dating professional alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, as the two attended Karen Elson’s wedding together in New York on Saturday.
The couple was photographed holding hands as they left Electric Lady Studios, where the wedding took place.
According to TMZ, Dufrene, age 49, is a professional alligator tour guide who first met Del Rey in 2019 when he gave her and her friends a tour in Des Allemands, Louisiana.
The Daily Mail reports that Del Rey and Dufrene reconnected earlier this year at the Hangout Music Festival in Golf Shores, Alabama, which Del Rey headlined. Last month, Dufrene attended Del Rey’s headlining set at Leeds Festival in the UK and were seen holding hands backstage. The singer seemed to initially deny rumors that the two were together, responding to an Instagram post about them dating by simply commenting, “No.” However, some of Del Rey’s fans questioned whether her comment was in response to a separate comment from a fan noting that Dufrene had only recent separated from his wife and asking Del Rey if that raised any “red flags.”
Del Rey is gearing up for the release of her new country music album, Lasso. Last week, she was confirmed to appear at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California, next April.
