Lana Del Rey and her husband Jeremy Dufrene made a splash at the W Magazine's Annual Best Performances Party at the iconic Chateau Marmont. On a starry Saturday evening, the singer cozied up to her Louisiana swamp-guide husband, showcasing their rare public appearance together. Del Rey, dazzling in a ruby red satin gown reminiscent of a Golden Age movie star, held onto Dufrene, who looked sharp in a classic black three-piece suit.
Their love story is as unique as it gets. Del Rey first met Dufrene in 2019 on one of his renowned swamp tours. Despite her glamorous Hollywood life, it was Dufrene’s calm presence that drew her in, even though she admitted, "I realized pretty immediately that I loved him, but that it might get difficult because of what I was bringing to the table."
“Jeremy has a calm, strong presence. When we met, I realized pretty immediately that I loved him, but that it might get difficult because of what I was bringing to the table.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, have since endured the intense scrutiny of their private lives. Yet, Dufrene’s resilient nature stands firm, a quality he chalks up to his experiences with alligators, telling Del Rey, "I have tough skin."
The event itself was a glamorous affair, with Del Rey mingling alongside big names like Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Sydney Sweeney, and Hailey Bieber. The singer, ever the charmer, was seen embracing Kendall Jenner and posing with Kate Hudson, illuminating the night with her signature smile.
Del Rey has made it clear that her husband is the most impactful person in her life, admitting that she has even penned songs inspired by him. Their shared ritual of "parking-lot time" is just one example of their unique bond.
Despite being one of the most acclaimed artists of her generation, Del Rey has opted for love over the limelight. She's adjusted to life around her husband's reptilian companions, even joking, "Louisiana has nicer alligators than Florida," a testament to her adaptability.
Their wedding was a beautiful affair by the Des Allemands waters in Louisiana, celebrating their whirlwind romance. With Dufrene’s Southern charm and Del Rey’s artistic spirit, these two continue to captivate the world both in and out of the spotlight.
