AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey has expanded an eclectic list of men she has dated with her new boyfriend. The singer has sent her fans into a frenzy after it's revealed that she is currently dating a Louisiana-born alligator hunter, Jeremy Dufrene.
Their alleged relationship was uncovered when a fan ran into the duo at Leeds Festival, where she was billed as one of the performers. In a clip taken and shared by the fan on TikTok, the couple was holding hands as they walked past a group of her devotees ahead of her set on Sunday, August 25.
Their togetherness did not stop there. Soon after the gig, the Grammy Award-winning artist and her rumored new boyfriend were seen looking cozy as they shopped at a Harrods store in London and dined at a local pub.
It's currently unclear when they started seeing each other, but their respective social media pages show that the two have known each other for at least five years. They appear to have met for the first time back in March 2019 when she took one of his air boat tours.
Jeremy, who is a father of two, works as a tour guide at Arthur's Air Boat Tours, a small business located in the unincorporated community of Des Allemands, Louisiana. The 39-year-old singer, who was in Louisiana for a concert at the BUKU Music + Art Project festival, captioned photos of the tour which she shared on her Instagram and Facebook pages, "Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours x."
Jeremy appeared in the background of a photo of Lana posing up with her girl friends during the tour. He also posted a photo with Lana to his own Instagram page and wrote in the caption, "I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey."
It apparently wasn't love at first sight because six months later, Lana began dating "Live PD" star Sean Larkin. Their romance fizzled out once the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.
The "Video Games" hitmaker has since dated a string of fellow artists, including singer Clayton Johnson, with whom she was engaged before calling it off in 2021. She was then romantically linked to Salem rocker Jack Donoghue and, most recently, musician Evan Winiker.
In November 2023, Lana said she broke up with her latest boyfriend over a house. "We had some fights over this house, a couple people. They didn't get it…I feel like even the most chill guy doesn't really want to chill here. Sadly, part of you knows … that ain't it.… That one shocked me. I won't name names and whatever, but that one really shocked me, that person. That was actually the end of a relationship," she told Harper's Bazaar.
She added to the publication, "I'm definitely not in love right now. No. Absolutely not in love. Have been, but no. Well, I'll tell you. It hasn't crossed my mind in the last five months on the road or here yet. But give it a week. My history, sure, it's coming for me at some point. Yeah. It would be interesting if it didn't. It would be interesting if it didn't."
However, that apparently changed when she reunited with Jeremy in May 2024 while she was in Louisiana for this year's Hangout Fest. During her stay, she once again signed up for one of Jeremy's air boat tours with her friends.
Following the revelation of their romance, fans took to social media to give their two cents on Lana's new boyfriend. "lol her taste in men never ceases to crack me up," one Reddit user commented. Another reacted, "It's no secret that Lana likes old people, but this is horrible."
"There is no way Charles Manson is dating Lana," a third person jested. A fan penned, "Please take good care of Lana, you are the luckiest guy in the world, and Lana won't suffer, take care of her, don't make her cry, please," while someone else joked, "Im waiting to hear the song titled Bubba."
