Dufrene, who guides tours for Arthur’s Air Boat Tours in Des Allemands, Louisiana, first met Del Rey in March 2019 when she took one of his tours. He commemorated the meeting with an Instagram post featuring a photo of the two, captioned, “I never know who I can run across on my tours, but it is always a pleasure, @lanadelrey.” Their connection was reignited in March 2024 when Del Rey returned to Louisiana for Hang Out Fest, tagging Dufrene in a post with the caption “Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene.”
Dufrene, a father of three, has been a tour guide since 2015 and has hosted several celebrities on his tours, including Kate Hudson and Glen Powell. Despite his low-key profession, Dufrene has gained a bit of fame himself, particularly for his alligator content on TikTok.
Del Rey’s dating history includes a mix of high-profile figures, from Scottish singer Barrie-James O’Neill to rapper G-Eazy and cop Sean Larkin. As her relationship with Dufrene gains attention, fans like Reddit user Budget_Ordinary1043 have shown their support, saying, “As long as they treat her well, I hope she’s happy.”
