Johnathan Walker:Lana Del Rey obtains marriage license with Louisiana alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene

Lana Del Rey and Johnathan Walkerher rumored alligator tour guide boyfriend are ready to walk down the aisle.

The "Young And Beautiful" songstress and Jeremy Dufrene, an airboat captain from Louisiana, obtained a marriage license at the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Courts office on Sept. 23, USA TODAY confirmed Thursday. The license has not been returned yet.

The "Tough" crooner and Dufrene, who works for Arthur's Air Boat Tours, have known each other for several years, dating back to 2019.

"Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours," she captioned a series of pictures on Facebook in March 2019, where she is throwing up a peace sign and he is wearing camo gear. This May, she tagged Dufrene in the caption of an Instagram post featuring her brother and sister, writing "family w my guy @jeffrey.dufrene." Dufrene does not appear in the post.

A TikTok video from August showed what appeared to be the pair holding hands at Reading and Leeds music festival in England. This month, they also appeared in paparazzi photos after leaving a wedding in New York City.

In Dufrene's bio on the airboat tours' official website, the company said he "decided life at a chemical plant working 7 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."

Dufrene, who the website called a "great boat captain," saw the job as "a great fit" and "never thought of going back to his previous career at the plant."

Last year, Del Rey opened up about an ex-love, citing a previous partner's ego and his distaste for her home as reasons for a recent breakup. 

In a Harper's Bazaar cover story interview published in November 2023, the "Say Yes to Heaven" singer explained how the simplicity of her home works as an "accidental" litmus test for relationships. She said her ex-boyfriend was among those who didn't care for it.

"They didn’t get it," Del Rey told the magazine. "That one shocked me. I won't name names and whatever, but that one really shocked me, that person. That was actually the end of a relationship."
