Lana Del Rey responds to rumours about relationship with alligator tour guide
Lana Del Rey has responded to rumours about a relationship between her and an alligator tour guide.Last week, rumours began circulating after the singer was seen holding hands with a man named Jeremy Dufrene at Reading Festival 2024. Per People, Dufrene is an airboat captain who also serves as a tour guide through swamps and marshes in Louisiana.Fans looked into Del Rey’s past Instagram posts for any hints of Dufrene, eventually emerging with a post from May where the singer called Dufrene “my guy”.Instagram account @TheJustNLife shared the news about the rumours yesterday (August 31), to which Del Rey responded in the comments with an emphatic “No.” She also speaks on a Twitter user who published a now-deleted tweet thread claiming to be Dufrene’s daughter: “Also, that’s not his daughter on Twitter”.Lana confirming she was never even dating him… & people doing those think pieces for what lol pic.twitter.com/9uDrjtnFrf— honeymoun (@honeymounz) August 31, 2024It’s unclear if Del Rey is denying that she is dating Dufrene, but her response has likely put a halt to the rumour spreading for the time being.At Reading Day 2 (August 24), the singer was the penultimate headliner on the main stage and saw her show “accidentally” cut short, for which the festival organisers later “apologised unreservedly”.She had taken to the stage 15 minutes late, and accordingly her end time was extended, but the festival cut off her sound and visuals sooner than intended.Her set the following night at Leeds, however, went off without a hitch, and it is now clear what songs Lana was unable to play at Reading.
