Lana Del Rey made her romance with alligator tour guide boyfriend Jeremy Dufrene official, as they attended model Karen Elson’s star-studded wedding on Saturday.
The Summertime Sadness hitmaker, 39, held hands with the boat captain from Louisiana, as they left the renowned Electric Lady Studios in New York City, where the nuptials took place.
Lana — who was also joined by pal Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the wedding — wowed in a plunging halter neck baby blue dress, which she paired with pink ballet flats.
The singer — who first met the father-of-two in 2019, before being spotted holding hands with him on August 25 in England — beamed as she walked with her older partner.
Her hair was styled into an elegant updo, and she carried a dainty mint-colored purse over her shoulder.
Meanwhile her other half looked dapper in a blue suit and white button-up shirt.
Jeremy works as a tour guide at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours, a small business located in the unincorporated community of Des Allemands, Louisiana.
The pair were there to celebrate Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster.

Lana’s friend Taylor, 34, dazzled in a cream Zimmermann dress with a floral pattern and cut-outs on the sides, while her boyfriend Travis, 34, looked suave in an all-black look.
The recording studio, which was commissioned by legendary rock musician Jimi Hendrix in 1968 and opened in 1970, is where Taylor worked on a number of her famous albums.
Other artists who’ve used the space include the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Patti Smith, U2, and more.
The wedding was held on the rooftop of the famed studio — which Lee bought in 2010 — according to Vogue.
Karen’s, 45, daughter Scarlett Teresa, 18, served as her only bridesmaid. Aside from Scarlett, Karen also shares son Henry Lee White, 17, with rocker ex Jack White.
Lana’s appearance with Jeremy comes days after she broke her silence on her rumored romance, with a comment underneath an Instagram post from @thejustnlife, speculating about their relationship.
She was previously seen holding hands with Dufrene ahead of her performance at Leeds Festival two weeks ago, and fans went on to speculate that she dropped a huge hint about her rumored lover in one of her songs.
She appeared to deny that a romantic relationship was going on between her and Dufrene with her ambiguous response: ‘No.’
However, her fans had mixed reactions to the response and debated on what she meant with her one-worded comment.
While some fans assumed her comment was a denial in response to the dating rumors, others said they believed she was coming to Dufrene’s defense and replying to the end of the post when the account asked: ‘Are these new details raising any red flags for you?’
The online platform’s Instagram post included a photo of Dufrene, who gives tours on an airboat in Louisiana, and Del Rey posing together in front of a swamp.
The caption noted that her rumored new beau is a gator tour guide and claimed he ‘recently separated from his wife.’
The post also reported that a person claiming to be Dufrene’s daughter recently took to X, formerly Twitter, to share that she found out about her dad’s romance with the singer via social media.
But Del Rey shutdown that rumors in a follow-up comment on the same post.
‘Also, that’s not his daughter on Twitter,’ the 11-time Grammy nominee, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, declared.
It is unknown how long the pair have known each other, but it appears they have been friends for a while as Del Rey shared a photo with him on one of his swamp tours back in March 2019.
Though Lana clearly had a blast on Jeremy’s tour, it wasn’t a love connection at the time.
Just six months later, the Love singer began dating Live PD hunk Sean Larkin, 52.
But the romance fizzled out once the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.
Shortly after, Lana met singer Clayton Johnson on a dating app and they got quickly engaged before calling it off in 2021.
After her failed engagement to Johnson, Lana had rumored flings with Salem rocker Jack Donoghue and, most recently, musician Evan Winiker.
The star reconnected with Jeremy in May 2024 while she was in Louisiana for this year’s Hangout Fest.
Even though Dufrene was not seen in the May 16 post, she tagged him in her caption and referred to him as ‘my guy.’
In recent weeks, Del Rey and the gator tour guide sparked romance rumors when fans spotted them holding hands before she took the stage at Leeds Festival.
Following that outing, the pair were also seen shopping together at Harrods in London and eating together at a local pub.
Fans also uncovered what appeared to be a nod to the relationship that Del Rey recently made during a recent concert.
While performing her song Chemtrails Over the Country Club, she changed the lyrics from ‘You’re born in December and I’m born in June’ to: ‘You’re born in March and I’m born in June.’
The change is significant as Dufrene’s Instagram reveals that his birthday is in March.
