Lana Del Rey reportedly marries alligator tour guide in Louisiana

Lana Del Rey, the well-known pop star, has reportedly tied the knot with her boyfriend, Jeremy Dufrene, who works as an alligator tour guide in Louisiana. This exciting news comes after weeks of speculation about their relationship and potential marriage. The couple applied for a marriage license on Monday in Lafourche parish, located south of New Orleans. Interestingly, Lana used her legal name, Elizabeth Woodridge Grant, on the marriage application, which was confirmed by records obtained by the BBC. The court records indicate that the marriage license was valid for a month and was approved by a court clerk. However, reports from various media outlets in the United States suggest that Lana and Jeremy did not wait for the full month and instead got married on Thursday in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, which is near where Jeremy operates his boat tours. According to People magazine, the wedding ceremony and reception took place in the same bayou where Jeremy conducts his swamp boat tours. As of now, Lana has not made any public comments regarding the reported wedding. The couple first crossed paths in 2019 when Lana shared photos from one of Jeremy's tours and playfully wrote on her Facebook page, 'Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x'. This summer, they were spotted together at the Reading and Leeds festivals, where Lana was a headlining performer, and they were also seen in London. Lana Del Rey, who is now 39 years old, rose to fame in 2011 with the release of her self-titled debut album, which featured the breakout single 'Video Games'. Over the years, she has developed a glamorous and somewhat enigmatic persona while releasing a total of nine albums. Her latest album, 'Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd', has received mostly positive reviews and was even nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. On the other hand, Jeremy Dufrene's biography on the Arthur’s Air Boat Tours website reveals that he previously worked at a chemical plant but realized it was not the right career for him. After some encouragement from his family, he obtained his captain's license and began running tours. The website describes Jeremy as a skilled airboat captain who enjoys interacting with both wildlife and customers.
