The woman who was previously engaged to the alligator tour guide for over a decade has spoken out after he married the 'Summertime Sadness' crooner in a low-key wedding.

AceShowbiz - Jeremy Dufrene's former fiancée, Kelli Welsh, was shocked by his recent marriage to pop icon Lana Del Rey. Welsh, who was engaged to Dufrene for 12 years, was stunned by his abrupt marriage after only a month of dating, comparing the couple's fast romance to her past relationship with the alligator tour guide.

Despite her initial surprise, Welsh expressed her support for the newlyweds. "I am in shock because we were engaged for 12 years, and he got married after one month," Welsh told Daily Mail. "But I am happy for him."

Welsh praised Dufrene's character, describing him as a "very protective, hardworking, manly man." She added, "He needed to get out of his comfort zone. He was used to bayou life and being out on the swamp. He is deserving of this blessing."

Dufrene and Welsh initially dated in high school but broke up after a year. They rekindled their romance in 2011 after Dufrene's divorce from his first wife.

Del Rey and Dufrene first met in 2019 on a boat tour. Their relationship remained largely private until they were spotted holding hands at a music festival in August 2024. They publicly confirmed their romance by attending a wedding together in New York City earlier this month.

Welsh believes that Dufrene and Del Rey complement each other well. "I will say that he really does look happy with her," she said. "And she does with him, which is a good thing to see. It's not a fake happy. He truly is in love with her."

Despite their long history, Welsh now considers Dufrene as "a friend." She added, "He has always been a giver so to have someone give to him, he deserves it. He is a very solid guy. I care about him deeply as a friend. His ability to love and care and protect people makes him so attractive."

Del Rey and Dufrene tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Louisiana on September 26. The wedding took place at Dufrene's alligator boat tour facility, where Del Rey's father walked her down the aisle.
