Everything in the life of Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (New York, 39 years old) seems taken from one of the lyrics she sings under the stage name by which she is known, Lana del Rey. Especially when we talk about his love life. The singer and songwriter is not a typical pop star like many of her contemporaries, and neither is her romantic history. In it, well-known names are mixed: he has dated musicians (such as Barrie-James O’Neill or the rapper G-Eazy), with a high-society photographer (Francesco Carrozzini, son of the emblematic director of Vogue Italiathe late Franca Sozzani), but also with curious anonymous characters, such as the police officer Sean Larkin. When in August of this same year the singer went with her boyfriend, Jeremy Dufrene, to the Reading Festival in England, the initial surprise (he is a tour guide specialized in alligator routes in Louisiana, USA) gave way to general acceptance : Lana del Rey was, let’s say, on character.
This same week, media such as Page Six and TMZ announced that Lana del Rey and her new boyfriend were about to get married. The singer of Summertime Sadness and the alligator tour guide picked up a marriage license on Monday, September 23, at the courthouse in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and had 30 days to use it. And it seems like they hurried, because the wedding took place a couple of days later. It has been the British newspaper Daily Mail who has published images of the link, obtained exclusively. The unlikely couple exchanged vows by the swamp in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, the same place where Dufrene organizes his popular boat excursions to observe the local flora and, especially, the fauna.
In the images obtained by the British media you can see the interpreter of Born To Die walking towards the altar on the arm of her father, Robert Grant, with a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a long wedding dress, with a ruffled neckline, and her hair tied in a ponytail that fell over her shoulder. Dufrene, for his part, wore a black suit, white shirt and brown leather shoes.
This is the first marriage for the singer, whose fortune is estimated at 30 million dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and the second for Dufrene, who has three children and is 10 years older than the singer. According to the magazine Peoplebefore specializing in tourist routes, Dufrene worked in a chemical plant and also dedicated himself to shrimp fishing.
Although the relationship was known in August of this year, the couple has known each other since 2019, the year in which the singer performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana and, later, took a boat tour through the swamps led by Dufrene. At that time, they both had a partner. In May of this year, Del Rey performed at Hangout Fest, also in the same area, and the two met again. It seems that the spark arose.
Only one detail remains pending. According to several media reports, the couple has not yet returned the marriage license, which is essential for their marriage to be legalized.
