Lana Del Rey makes rare comments about alligator tour guide husband Jeremy Dufrene... two months after wedding

Lana Del Rey has opened up about her marriage to Jeremy Dufrene and revealed the celebrity who inspired her to pursue her own love story.

The 39-year-old singer got married in a private ceremony to Dufrene, an alligator tour guide from Louisiana, in September. The exclusive news was revealed by DailyMail.com.

Del Rey — who will release her The Right Person Will Stay album in May — went public with the relationship only a month before the wedding.

While attending Variety’s Hitmakers Brunch on Saturday, Del Rey opened up about her life as a married woman as she honored producer Jack Antonoff, 40, who was named Producer of the Decade.

‘Most of all, I’m grateful for him for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret [Qualley],’ the Love hitmaker said.

‘I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband,’ she told the audience.

She spoke about the difficulty of having a high profile career and finding someone without a hidden agenda. 

‘I really feel like there’s kind of a singer’s curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race,’ she said.

‘And it’s super nerve-racking to have to hold onto an innocent perception of how things could go when you’re in an industry where maybe your values or your morals don’t quite match up with what’s going on,’ she explained.

‘Especially when people think that you probably don’t have any morals or values,’ Del Rey added, and crediting her longtime collaborator for ‘maybe helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I perceive myself.’

It is unclear when the couple started dating, but there are photos of the pair together dating back to 2019, when Del Rey took one of Dufrene’s tours. 

The marriage brought more than a husband into Del Rey’s life.

She is now step-mom to his three children from his first marriage.  

The Brooklyn Baby singer looked chic in a simple black sweater and pair of black pants for her appearance at the annual gathering on Saturday.

The singer spoke of Antonoff's love for wife Margaret Qualley, 30 as inspirational. 'I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband,' she told the audience  (Pictured in Elmont, NY in September)

She wore black flats with blue socks and accessorized with a pearl necklace and dangling diamond earrings. 

Del Rey’s dark blond hair was parted on the side with a 1940s style wave. 

The Summertime Sadness hitmaker posed with the Grammy winning Antonoff after he received his award. 

The music executive looked dapper in a brown suit with a white T-shirt. 

Del Rey has long been celebrated for her nostalgic, romantic pop, which often references images of vintage Americana.

She’s released nine studio albums and is perhaps best known for her Top 10 hit, Summertime Sadness from her multiplatinum 2012 album, Born to Die. 

Her upcoming 10th studio album, The Right Person Will Stay, will be out on May 21.
