Lana Del Rey surprised her fans this week when she married alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on Thursday, just a month after their romance was revealed.
While the speed of the nuptials will no doubt have raised eyebrows, it seems Lana has been searching for a man like him for years.
In 2012, when Lana was Scottish singer Barrie-James O’Neill, two years her junior, she revealed that her typical type was an older man.
She offered the information when discussing the music video for her single Ride, in which she kissed older men.
‘I love telling narratives and long monologues with beautiful images. (We filmed Ride) in Las Vegas and so I was able to tell one side of my story that way,’ he shared on BBC Radio One.
Lana Del Rey surprised her fans this week when she married alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene on Thursday, just a month after their romance was revealed.
While the speed of the nuptials will no doubt have raised eyebrows, it seems Lana has been searching for a man like Jeremy for years.
‘Does that involve smooching and fondling older men?’ Yes, that’s my style!’ Lana continued. ‘No, not really, but I love men who have experienced many things in life and who have known and done it all. “The men in the video were Las Vegas natives and it was fun to have them on board.”
Jeremy is 49 years old and 10 years older than Lana, so he fits her typical type.
The alligator tour guide also fits his type in terms of humility and modesty.
During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in November, the singer explained that she once ended a relationship because he was unhappy with her modest living space.
Her house, described as “extremely modest” by the magazine’s writer, is said to have put off an anonymous ex.
She explained: ‘We had some fights over this house. A couple of people didn’t understand it.
‘I feel like even the calmest guy doesn’t want to relax here. Unfortunately, a part of you knows… that’s not the case… That surprised me. I won’t name names or anything, but that person really surprised me. Actually, that was the end of a relationship.
When asked if she thought her ex expected more from her, Lana reflected: “Something was happening with them, like a little ego bubble. Look, I can’t have one anymore. It’s shattered.

It’s a refreshing mindset for a billionaire said to be worth $30 million and who reportedly owns two hillside properties in Los Angeles, making up a real estate portfolio of nearly $6 million.
By contrast, Jeremy spent much of his adult life in a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Des Allemands, estimated to be worth about $340,000, where he raised his three children with his ex-wife Gina.
Elsewhere in the chat, Lana talked about being single while being asked if she wanted to find love.
‘Well, I’ll tell you. “It hasn’t crossed my mind in the last five months, either on the road or here yet,” he explained. But give it a week. My story, I’m sure, will come for me at some point. Yes. It would be interesting if it didn’t. It would be interesting if it weren’t like that.
On whether she could imagine a life without finding love, she continued: “I don’t know. I think I would have to orient myself to where I want to be geographically stronger in my solar plexus, like a knowing there, before I can romantically tune into a stronger desire.” .
“Because if you don’t necessarily feel a connection to the sidewalk you’re walking on, the love stays there.”
However, it’s been 10 months and that’s no longer a concern for Lana after getting married.
The couple exchanged vows by the water in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, the same swamp where Jeremy operates his popular swamp boat tours.
In photos and videos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the Born To Die singer was seen being accompanied by her father, Robert Grant, with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
Lana looked radiant in a flowy white wedding dress with her hair styled in a curly ponytail that fell over one shoulder.

The classic floor-length dress had an elegant ruffled neckline, a billowing skirt, and a modest train that trailed down the gravel hallway.
Instead of his usual trucker cap, Jeremy sported a sharp black suit, white dress shirt, and brown leather shoes for their backyard nuptials.
The singer met the father-of-two for the first time in 2019, before being seen holding hands with him on August 25 in England.
He then attended Karen Elson’s wedding to Jeremy earlier this month, with the loved-up couple holding hands at the star-studded bash, which was attended by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
