Lana Del Rey has spoken out following her surprise wedding to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene.

After obtaining a marriage licence on 26 September, 39-year-old Grammy award winning Del Rey tied the knot with Dufrene.

Little was known about their relationship beforehand, but the singer 'hard launched' their relationship on 7 September, when he accompanied her to the wedding of model Karen Elson and Lee Foster in New York.

Working as a captain for Airboat Tours by Arthur, Dufrene's bio on the website states: "Jeremy decided life at a chemical plant working seven days a week and shrimping on vacation days was not his calling.

"After a little convincing by his family, he got his captain's license and started running tours. He quickly realised that this was a great fit and he has never thought of going back to his previous career at the plant.

"Jeremy's a great airboat captain and loves interacting with wildlife & customers."

The two met during one of the tours in 2019, with Dufrene sharing a photo on Instagram at the time and writing: "I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey."

Fans are overjoyed that Del Rey has found her soulmate, and she has now spoken out about their bond on Instagram.

Responding to a post of the two shared by a fan account, Del Rey wrote: "Jeremy is the one and only. And amazing. And we’re very happy.”

A source told PEOPLE of their bond: "They initially met a few years ago the first time and then reconnected earlier this year.

"It's been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana's close friends hoped she would get married.

"Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He's a great guy. He's charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman, and he treats Lana really well. She's an old soul."

Dufrene's ex-fiancée, Kelli Welsh, seemingly gave the two her blessing.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said: “I am in shock because we were engaged for 12 years, and he got married after one month,” Welsh told the outlet on Saturday (28 September).

“But I am happy for him. He is a very protective, hardworking, manly man. He needed to get out of his comfort zone. He was used to bayou life and being out on the swamp. He is deserving of this blessing.”
