The rumors began circulating after the two were seen holding hands ahead of Del Rey’s performance at Leeds Festival on August 25, a show that experienced technical difficulties.

Their connection reportedly dates back to 2019, when they first met during one of Dufrene’s airboat tours while Del Rey was in Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival.

Dufrene had expressed his excitement about meeting the star at the time, sharing a photo on Instagram. “I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey,” he wrote.

Del Rey also shared a snapshot from the tour, posting on her Facebook: “Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.”

Well, according to the Daily Mail, the pair got married at a waterfront ceremony on Thursday.

The couple exchanged vows by the bayou in Des Allemands, Louisiana, where Dufrene operates his popular swamp boat tours.

In exclusive photos and videos obtained by the Daily Mail, the ‘Born to Die’ singer was seen walking down the aisle with her father, Robert Grant, holding a bouquet of flowers.

Del Rey wore a stunning white wedding gown with a ruffled neckline, flowing skirt, and modest train. Her hair was styled in a loose, curly ponytail that fell over one shoulder.

Dufrene, a Louisiana native and father of three, opted for a classic black suit, white dress shirt, and brown leather shoes.

After exchanging vows, the newlyweds walked hand-in-hand to an outdoor reception by the dock, where one of Dufrene’s swamp airboats was decorated with white flowers for the occasion.

The reception was held along the public harbor, with large white tents and tables set up on the grass.

Del Rey’s siblings, Caroline Grant and Charlie Hill-Grant, were there to support her, though it is unclear whether her mother, Patricia Ann Hill, attended.

For the reception, Del Rey added a light blue satin bow to her ponytail as her “something blue.”

This marks Del Rey’s first marriage and Dufrene’s second.

The pair picked up their marriage license on Monday, according to TMZ, though it has not yet been returned and recorded.

Del Rey has had several high-profile relationships in the past, including a brief engagement to musician Clayton Johnson, a romance with Live PD star Sean Larkin, and rumored flings with musicians Jack Donoghue and Evan Winiker.

In a December 2023 interview with The Sunday Times, Del Rey spoke about her thoughts on motherhood, stating she sees parenthood “coming for” her in the future.
