A year after her secret ceremony, Lana Del Rey has finally given fans a glimpse into one of her most personal moments. The singer recently shared a stunning and hauntingly beautiful wedding photo, revealing her marriage to boat captain Jeremy Dufrene. This exclusive look into her private life has sparked a wave of fan excitement, offering a rare peek behind the curtain of the famously enigmatic artist.
On Wednesday, July 30, the ‘Summertime Sadness’ singer shared a gloomy, low-light photo of herself at the altar of a small church in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, on Instagram. Hand in hand with Dufrene, the pair locked eyes in what appeared to be a scene from one of Del Rey's melancholic romantic melodies.
Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, wrote in the photo's caption, "May 12 angels guard you while you preach tonight." Judah Smith, the pastor of Churchome, who presided over the ceremony, was the only other person in the picture. The post also included a tag for his wife, Chelsea Smith. "Thank you, Judah, for always uplifting me," Del Rey added in the comments.
This is the first time Del Rey has publicly acknowledged the September 26, 2024, wedding, even though her one-year anniversary isn't until next month. Three days prior to the ceremony, which took place in the same bayou where Dufrene conducts his swamp boat tours, the couple had secured a marriage license. Additionally, it's the place they first met.
According to People, "The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boat tours,” indicating that the event was extremely personal. "It’s a special place for them. It was a beautiful, relaxed, and family-focused wedding. The focus was just on their love story.”
Timeline of the Lana Del Rey’s relationship
The exact beginning of Del Rey and Dufrene's relationship has never been entirely clear. In 2019, she made her first post about him, highlighting his Louisiana heritage. However, romance rumors didn't really get going until August 2024, when a Reddit user posted a picture of the two of them eating lunch in London.
