AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey, 39, and Jeremy Dufrene officially obtained a marriage license on September 23, as confirmed by the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court to PEOPLE and Us Weekly. The couple has 30 days to walk down the aisle before their license expires. The duo, who first crossed paths in 2019, have been quietly nurturing their relationship over the years.

The couple's journey started when Del Rey went on one of Dufrene's wildlife tours in 2019. Their initial connection didn't immediately blossom into romance, as both were in other relationships at the time. However, photos of their early encounters surfaced on social media, hinting at a budding friendship. "Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours," Del Rey captioned a series of photos on Facebook.

By May 2024, Del Rey had publicly referred to Dufrene as "my guy" in an Instagram post featuring her siblings. The couple's affection for each other became increasingly apparent, culminating in a public debut at Karen Elson's wedding in September, where they were spotted holding hands, coordinating in blue ensembles, and mingling with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

Jeremy Dufrene, a tour guide at Arthur's Airboat Tours in Louisiana, guides tourists through swamps and marshes, introducing them to a variety of local wildlife. Before finding his passion as an airboat captain, Dufrene worked at a chemical plant. His genuine love for his job and the outdoors naturally drew Del Rey closer to him.

While both Del Rey and Dufrene had relationship histories that led them to this point, their chemistry and shared adventures seem to have built a strong foundation. Del Rey, who has had several notable relationships in the past, described her preference for "really good, strong, self-assured people" in a 2014 Rolling Stone interview. Dufrene appears to fit this ideal, treating Del Rey with respect and providing the stability she seeks.

Friends and fans of Del Rey initially expressed concerns about her dating a divorced father-of-three. However, it wasn't long before they noted his sincerity and how well he treats her. A supportive partner, Dufrene is described as "very low maintenance" and someone who meets Del Rey's emotional needs while staying grounded himself.

As their relationship moves into a more official territory, fans and well-wishers eagerly anticipate the star-studded wedding. One thing is for sure: this union is more than just a whirlwind romance; it's a tale of genuine connection and shared dreams.
