Lana Del Rey is intriguing her fans with her latest rumored love interest: Jeremy Dufrene, an airboat captain and alligator tour guide from South Louisiana.
Del Ray, 39, was spotted holding hands with Dufrene backstage at Leeds Festival in the U.K. last weekend. A fan captured the moment and shared it on TikTok.
According to The Daily Mail – and photo evidence from Reddit – Del Rey and Dufrene were also seen shopping at Harrods in London and eating out at a local pub.

It appears the two have known each other since at least 2019, when Del Rey took one of Dufrene’s airboat tours out of Des Allemands, Louisiana.
She posted about the tour on Facebook:
In May, the 11-time Grammy nominee and Coachella 2024 headliner tagged Dufrene in a photo in front of a swamp on Instagram with the caption: "Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene" That was right before she headlined Hangout Fest in Alabama.
According to Dufrene’s company biography, he worked full-time at a chemical plant and went shrimping on his vacation days before he changed career paths.
"After a little convincing by his family, he got his captain’s license and started running tours. He quickly realized that this was a great fit and he has never thought of going back to his previous career at the plant," his bio on Airboat Tours by Arthur’s website says. "Jeremy’s a great airboat captain and loves interacting with wildlife & customers."
Her fans have so far had very mixed reactions on social media:
"It’s so iconic to me how she’s never looked as good as she’s looking now and has never been as successful but she still chooses to date the most random guy ever," one fan joked on Reddit.
Del Rey previously dated Oklahoma police officer and reality star Sean Larkin, and she's reportedly been engaged at least twice.
