Rumors began circulating last month after Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene after the two were spotted holding hands at the Reading Festival. They also attended Karen Elson’s wedding earlier this month.
Del Ray addressed the rumors by simply stating, “No,” in the comment section of a fan Instagram page. The response was screenshot and posted in a tweet from an X user claiming to be Dufrene’s daughter.
“In regards to my dad and lana from my last few tweets,” the X user wrote. “If there’s any type of update, ill give it but for now I’ve got nothing to give. i barely talk to my dad let alone care about his love life. I’m just shocked WHO he’s dating.”
However, Lana Del Rey confirmed that the X user has no connection to Dufrene.
Lana Del Rey Reportedly First Met Jeremy Dufrene While Performing at the Buku Music + Art Project in 2018
The Daily Mail further reported that Lana Del Rey first met Jeremy Dufrene when she performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana in March 2019. She had taken one of his boat tours while in the area for the event.
“When Lana revisited the area in May to perform at Hangout Fest, they were both single and they reconnected,” an insider told the media outlet. “He saw his golden opportunity and asked her out and they have been together since. She loves older men.”
Lana Del Rey’s initial relationship with Jeremy Dufrene had allegedly worried friends. “Her friends and team did some digging on him over fears he could be using her,” the insider continued. “But his business is lucrative and he doesn’t need or want Lana’s money. They can see he treats her right and he’s very, very low maintenance. He gives her what she is seeking in a man and is romantic.”
The source revealed that a “big step” in the relationship was when Del Rey took Dufrene on a string of shows in the UK. “He is a good guy and she is wildly attracted to him. He is a good father and no one who knows him has anything bad to say about him.”
