Lana Del Rey’s dating history reveals she doesn’t adhere to a typical romantic archetype. Over the years, she’s been linked to a variety of partners including a police officer, a member of a YouTube cover band, and various musicians. Her latest rumored romance, however, takes an unexpected turn. Del Rey has been spotted with Jeremy Dufrene, a guide for alligator tours in Louisiana.
Recently, Del Rey and Dufrene were seen together backstage at the Leeds Festival in the U.K., a moment captured by a fan whose excitement seemed to focus more on the celebrity sighting than on Dufrene himself. The Daily Mail also reported their presence at Harrods in London and dining at a local pub. Fans on the r/LanaDelRey subreddit quickly scrutinized Dufrene’s appearance, noting he resembled what one might expect from a Louisiana gator tour guide.
One commenter mused about Del Rey’s unconventional taste in partners, while another speculated that her new country album, Lasso, might be inspired by her current romance. Del Rey and Dufrene’s connection dates back to 2019 when she took one of his alligator tours.
She even shared a Facebook post from that time featuring a photo of her steering the airboat with Dufrene. It appears their relationship rekindled earlier this year, when Del Rey revisited the tour before her Hangout Music Festival performance in Alabama. She referred to Dufrene as “my guy” in an Instagram post.
Recent footage of Dufrene shows him handling a giant alligator with ease, which left some viewers impressed by his composure. This adventurous side of his job seems to fit Del Rey’s eclectic taste. While there’s curiosity about what makes Dufrene’s tours special—especially given other celebrities like Kate Hudson and Glen Powell have also experienced them—the charm of Dufrene and the allure of the unique tour remain intriguing.
