Before her headlining performance on Saturday night (August 24) at Reading Festival in the UK, Lana Del Rey was spotted holding hands with Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana-based alligator tour guide. This public display of affection immediately sparked dating rumors for the 39-year-old pop superstar, who has apparently known the 49-year-old airboat captain since taking a trip to Louisiana back in 2019. LDR documented that trip at the time with a Facebook post, as the singer and some friends stopped into Airboat Tours by Arthur, and Dufrene led them on a trek through the Louisiana swamplands.
In one of the photos, Lana is sitting beside Dufrene on the boat and flashing a peace sign while playfully sticking out her tongue. Dufrene even photobombed the group photo Lana took with her friends. He must have made quite an impression on Lana that day, because she even mentioned him in the caption, writing, “Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.” The pair were also seen having lunch together in London recently, adding to the rumors that they are dating.
