Lana Del Rey has married her alligator tour guide boyfriend just weeks after their unlikely romance went public.

The Born To Die singer, who has known Jeremy Dufrene for years after taking his tour as far back as 2019, tied the knot with her man by the water in the same bayou his swamp boat tours leave from.

The outdoor nuptials Des Allemandes, Louisiana came after it emerged they had obtained a marriage license earlier this week.

In pictures from the big day obtained by the Mail, the 39-year-old star was seen being walked down the aisle by her dad Robert Grant as she held onto a floral bouquet.

Despite the unusual settings for a wedding, she kept to tradition with a gorgeous floor length white wedding dress, complete with an elegant neckline and billowing skirt.

Her man ditched his usual trucker hat and looked dapper in a black suit, white shirt and brown shoes.

How long have they been dating?

The couple first met in 2019, and were soon pictured holding hands together in the UK.

Earlier this month, Lana and the father-of-three were at Karen Elson’s star-studded wedding, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce also on the guestlist.

An insider recently told the Mail: ‘She wanted to go on a boat tour because it’s a big thing in Louisiana, but she never expected to fall for a gator boat captain.’

According to his bio, Jeremy – a captain at Arthur’s Airboat Tours – gives tourists guided trips through the swamps, including an intimate look at gators, egrets and over 300 species of birds.

He initially worked at a chemical plant before finding his true passion.

It’s said her friends were initially worried about his intentions, but they quickly realise he ‘treats her right’.

The source added: ‘His business is lucrative and he doesn’t need or want Lana’s money.

‘They can see he treats her right and he’s very, very low maintenance. He gives her what she is seeking in a man and is romantic.’
