Fans have grown used to Lana Del Rey keeping parts of her life under wraps.
But this week, she pulled back the curtain just a little, sharing a rare and intimate glimpse of her secret bayou wedding to none other than alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene.
A Wedding That Flew Under the Radar
On Wednesday, Lana posted a serene, never-before-seen photo from her surprise September 2024 wedding, and the internet immediately took notice.
In the image, the Summertime Sadness singer is glowing in a vintage-style ivory gown with dramatic ruffled shoulders and a large blue bow adorning her hair.
Standing beside her is 49-year-old Jeremy, gazing at her lovingly in a classic black suit as sunlight beams down on them.
A minister, Bible in hand, presides over the moment. The caption?
A spiritual nod to friends and pastors: “May 12 angels guard you While you preach tonight @judahsmith @chelseasmith.”
Quiet Life on the Bayou
Just weeks before posting the wedding photo, Lana had already been giving fans little peeks into her new life in Louisiana.
Her Instagram feed featured relaxed snapshots and candid videos of her and Jeremy embracing the slow, southern rhythm of bayou life.
In one playful video, Lana twirls around a boat pole in the middle of the swamp while dressed in a simple yellow dress.
With her hair in a ponytail and the serene backdrop of lily-covered water behind her, fans affectionately dubbed her the “bayou babe.”
A Swamp-Side Ceremony in Des Allemands
Their wedding took place right by the water in Des Allemands, Louisiana—the same scenic location where Jeremy runs his well-known swamp tours.
The setting was as authentic as it gets, with one of Jeremy’s signature airboats nearby, decked out in white flowers as part of the ceremony décor.
The wedding was so low-key, most people didn’t even know they were engaged.
Lana only confirmed their relationship a month earlier, keeping their whirlwind romance close to the chest.
A Family Affair and a Sweet Send-Off
Lana was walked down the aisle by her father, Robert Grant, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.
After saying “I do,” she and Jeremy held hands tightly as they made their way to the outdoor reception—passing that iconic swamp boat that helped bring them together in the first place.
Photos and videos captured Lana’s soft smile, and Jeremy’s unmistakable Southern pride.
It was an unexpectedly romantic scene, perfectly in tune with the singer’s vintage soul and love for all things offbeat.
From Tour Guide to Husband
The couple’s story goes back further than most realized.
Lana first met Jeremy in 2019 during a swamp tour with Arthur’s Airboats, where he worked. The spark didn’t catch fire back then, but by early 2024, the two had reconnected.
Engagement came quickly—and so did the vows.
“It’s been kind of a whirlwind romance,” a source close to the couple told DailyMail.com. “But Lana’s friends have been hoping she’d settle down.”
A Southern Gentleman and an Old Soul
Those close to Lana say Jeremy is refreshingly different from the men she usually meets in the entertainment world.
“He’s charming, charismatic in that Southern gentleman kind of way, and he treats Lana really well,” the insider shared.
“She’s always been an old soul—and he gets that about her.”
So while their love story might seem unusual to outsiders, it’s pure Lana. Quiet. Romantic. A little wild. And totally off the beaten path.
