Singer Lana Del Rey has spoken about how she met her husband Jeremy Dufrene during a Louisiana swamp boat tour in 2019. In a recent interview with W magazine, the 40-year-old artist revealed she “realised pretty immediately” that she loved him.

“When we met, I realised pretty immediately that I loved him, but that it might get difficult because of what I was bringing to the table,” Del Rey said. According to her, Dufrene responded by saying, “I work with alligators – I have tough skin.”

She added that his calm approach helped during challenging moments: “All the things that made me upset – and there were so many! – he would just listen and say, ‘You be you – and I’ll just love you more.’” The couple married in September 2024 in a small ceremony held in the same bayou where Dufrene conducts his tours.
