Lana Del Rey is rumored to be in a relationship with an alligator tour guide.
Lana Del Rey has ignited romance rumors with an unexpected companion.
The 39-year-old American singer was seen holding hands with a mystery man at the Leeds Festival in the UK over the weekend, a moment captured by a fan and shared on TikTok.
It has since come to light that the man in the video is Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide from Louisiana and a father of two.
Del Rey, who was performing at the festival, was later spotted shopping at Harrods in London with Dufrene, as seen in photos shared on Reddit. Another fan also captured an image of the two dining at the upscale department store.
This surprising pairing appears to have roots dating back to March 2019 when Del Rey shared a photo on Facebook with Dufrene after taking one of his airboat tours. "Jeremy lemme [let me] be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x," she wrote, showcasing her steering the boat.
At the time, Del Rey was in Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival.
Fans have reacted with a mix of surprise and amusement, flooding social media with comments about the pairing. “I’m sorry but this is strange. Very strange. He must be the sweetest man ever, I guess,” one user wrote. “Let’s just say he must have a great personality,” another commented.
Del Rey's dating history is notable; she was previously linked to police officer Sean Larkin in 2019, and they appeared at various high-profile events before splitting in 2020. While promoting her ninth album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, in 2022, she even placed a promotional billboard in Larkin's hometown, calling it “personal.”
She briefly sparked engagement rumors with musician Clayton Johnson in 2021, but they parted ways quietly. Despite her somewhat private nature regarding relationships, Del Rey has previously expressed her preference for “strong, self-assured people.”
