Lana Del Rey fans are going wild as they’ve seemingly uncovered the singer’s latest love interest.

The Grammy Award nominee, 39, is believed to be dating Louisiana-born alligator tour guide, Jeremy Dufrene.

Jeremy is a father-of-two who works as a tour guide at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours, a small business located in the unincorporated community of Des Allemands, Louisiana.

The unlikely duo were spotted holding hands on Sunday, August 25 ahead of Lana’s concert set at Leeds Festival, which was plagued by technical difficulties.

Soon after, Lana — who is worth a reported $30million — and Jeremy were seen looking cozy as they shopped at a Harrods store in London and dined at a local pub.

But a look through their respective social media pages reveal that the two have known one another for at least five years.

Jeremy and Lana appear to have met for the first time back in March 2019 when she took one of his air boat tours.

She was in Louisiana for a concert at the BUKU Music + Art Project festival that took place on March 22, 2019.

‘Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x,’ captioned the singer-songwriter, who uploaded photos from the tour to her Instagram and Facebook on March 19, 2019.

One of the photos showed her sitting beside Jeremy with her tongue out as he helped her steer the air boat. 

He also appeared in the background of a photo of Lana posing up with her girlfriends during the tour.

She heavily promoted Jeremy’s place of work in the post by sharing a photo of the handmade Arthur’s Air Boat Tours sign and the company phone number.

Jeremy also posted a photo with Lana to his own Instagram, writing: ‘I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey’

He looked absolutely smitten beside the brunette beauty in the photo as they posed with their arms wrapped around one another by the swampy water. 

Though Lana clearly had a blast on Jeremy’s tour, it wasn’t a love connection at the time. 

Just six months later, the Love singer began dating Live PD hunk Sean Larkin, 52.

But the romance fizzled out once the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.

Shortly after, Lana met singer Clayton Johnson on a dating app and they got quickly engaged before calling it off in 2021.

After her failed engagement to Johnson, Lana had rumored flings with Salem rocker Jack Donoghue and, most recently, musician Evan Winiker.

The star reconnected with Jeremy in May 2024 while she was in Louisiana for this year’s Hangout Fest.

As she had done in the past, Lana and her friends signed up for one of Jeremy’s air boat tours during their stay.

She documented the swamp adventure on her Instagram and even tagged her rumored boyfriend in a post published on May 16.

‘Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene,’ Lana wrote in the caption.

Fans didn’t think much of the reunion at the time as they spammed Jeremy with questions about the singer’s trip to Louisiana.

But now that the pair appear to be an item, fans are eager to know more about Lana’s new man.

Those who follow the Summertime Sadness singer on Instagram can see that she has been following Jeremy for awhile.

While the singer boasts a whopping 18.8million Instagram followers, Jeremy is sitting at just 4,400 followers.

The tour guide’s page is filled with videos of his interactions with the wild alligators that rule Bayou des Allemands, which is often referred to as the ‘Catfish Capital of the Universe.’

Jeremy seems absolutely fearless while filming Instagram Reels of himself feeding alligators pieces of raw chicken by hand.

He refers to the alligators as his ‘Cajun yard dogs’ and he has names for each of them.

Jeremy has been employed as a captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours since at least 2015. 

His tour has been taken by a number of celebrities over the years, including Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts and Hollywood’s hottest leading man Glen Powell.

In a July 2019 Instagram post, Jeremy gushed that it was his ‘pleasure’ to take Kate and her family out on the water as they posed for a photo on the dock.

‘thanks for coming and trusting me with your family,’ wrote Jeremy, who earned a ‘like’ from the Almost Famous star. 

His friendship with Powell dates back to 2015 when the Twisters star first took his air boat tour.

Glenn gave Jeremy a major shout-out on his Instagram at the time as he shared a fun snap of the duo drinking a beer and soaking up the sun.

‘J-Bone and G-Trash. We’re both single and ready to mingle. Find us on the swamp or at the Daiquiris To-Go place next door or on Craigslist Personals. Sorry for partying. (Not sorry),’ joked the Anyone But You star.

More recently, Jeremy encouraged his followers to ‘check out’ his pal Glen’s appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show in May of this year. 

When he’s not posting about his wild adventures on the bayou, Jeremy is busy enjoying crab boils, Bud Lights by the bonfire and quality time with his kids.

He appears to have two young daughters from a prior relationship, who make rare cameos on his Instagram.

Though neither Lana or Jeremy have confirmed their romance, their cozy outings in the U.K. this week were all the evidence that her diehard fans needed.

They quickly flooded social media — and Jeremy’s own Instagram comments section — with their thoughts on Lana’s new ‘lover.’ 

‘lol her taste in men never ceases to crack me up,’ one Reddit user wrote. 

Another commented: ‘It’s so iconic to me how she’s never looked as good as she’s looking now and has never been as successful but she still chooses to date the most random guy ever.’ 

Some cruelly compared Jeremy’s appearance to that of cult leader Charles Manson while others remarked on his and Lana’s apparent age-gap.

Many were quick to remind the haters that Lana has made it very clear in her music that she’s ‘got a taste for men who are older’ — a direct lyric from her 2012 hit Cola.

Hilarity ensued as some fans began jokingly referring to the singer as ‘Lana Dundee’ — a nod to the 1980s fictional croc hunter, Crocodile Dundee.

Fans also uncovered what appeared to be a nod to the relationship that Lana recently made during a recent concert.

While performing her song Chemtrails Over the Country Club, she changed the lyrics from ‘You’re born in December and I’m born in June’ to: ‘You’re born in March and I’m born in June.’

The change is significant as Jeremy’s Instagram reveals that his birthday is in March.
