Singer Lana Del Rey has sparked romance rumors with Louisiana alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene after the pair were spotted holding hands at the Reading Festival in England. Del Rey and Dufrene have known each other since 2019, when the musician shared a photo on her Facebook page of herself captioned, "Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours."

It is unclear when the rumored romance between the two began. A representative for Del Rey did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The relationship revelation comes as a surprise to many, as Del Rey has predominantly dated within the music industry in the past. In 2019, she famously dated Sean "Sticks" Larkin, a retired Tulsa police officer and former "Live PD" star. The couple broke up in March 2020, with Larkin confirming they were "just friends" who "still talk and whatnot, we just have busy schedules right now."

Del Rey later addressed the breakup in a 2021 Instagram Live, telling fans she "thought it was the end of the world."

"He was perceived as everything that I wasn't, sunshine-y and on the right side of the law, and it just broke my heart, the whole idea of just everything disintegrating…" the singer said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "Relationships completely break people, they really do. Even if you go on to the next one, it's not like it gets better."

Since her split from Larkin, Del Rey has been linked to a handful of musicians throughout her career, including Clayton Johnson and Jack Donoghue. However, none of these relationships were confirmed by the singer.

Fans have been expressing their surprise and support for the rumored couple. Many have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the unexpected pairing.
