Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene's whirlwind romance became legally binding when they got married in September 2024.

In photos captured by the Daily Mail, the singer was seen exchanging vows in a ceremony held by the water in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, where her now-husband operates his alligator swamp boat tours.

The 'Born To Die' singer wore her hair tied in a flowing ponytail with a blue ribbon, wearing a floor-length billowing dress as she walked down the aisle with her father, Robert Grant.

The 39-year-old 'Summertime Sadness' singer and her 49-year-old boyfriend previously obtained a marriage license on September 23, a Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court confirmed to PEOPLE.

The license meant the couple had 30 days to get married, for the unaware. And they didn't waste any time! Since then, they have both remained relatively private when it comes to their life together.

This experience seems to have left a lasting impression on the singer, as she returned for another tour in 2024.

However, it's only in recent times that their romantic relationship appears to have taken off, with Del Rey referring to Dufrene as "my guy" in an Instagram post during a visit to Louisiana.

She captioned the photo, which featured the singer and her two siblings on an airboat tour, "Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene @codyjay."

The pair were then spotted together in August 2024 at the Reading & Leeds Festival in England, before this TikTok of the pair walking hand-in-hand at the Leeds Festival went viral.

Who is Jeremy Dufrene?

Jeremy Dufrene is an airboat boat captain from Louisiana, working for Arthur's Airboat Tours. His job involves guiding tourists through the swamps and marshes of Louisiana, showcasing local wildlife, including alligators and various bird species.

Before finding his calling as an airboat captain, Dufrene worked at a chemical plant. His bio on the tour company's website states that he quickly realised being a captain was a great fit for him.

Dufrene is also a father, with two daughters and a son from a previous relationship.

Lana Del Rey credits Jack Antonoff for her love story.

While attending Variety's Hitmakers Brunch, Del Rey shared a sweet tribute to her friend and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. In her speech, she credited Antonoff's marriage to actress Margaret Qualley for setting a beautiful example for her relationship, and even said he was part of the reason she met her now-husband.

"Most of all, I'm grateful for him for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret," she said. "I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he's a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband."

Speaking about the difficulty of meeting an "honest" partner as a singer in the entertainment industry, Del Rey thanked Antonoff for "helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I perceive myself".

"I really feel like there's kind of a singer's curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race," she said, adding, "It's super nerve-racking to have to hold onto an innocent perception of how things could go, when you're in an industry where… your values or your morals don't quite match up with what's going on."
