Social media is at its best when a ridiculous post goes so viral that people are confused about what is real and what is not. Something similar transpired on Twitter recently when a girl claimed she was the estranged daughter of Jeremy Dufrene, the man believed to be dating music icon, Lana Del Rey.
So, what’s the whole story? And who exactly is Jeremy Dufrene? Is Lana really dating him? Let’s unpack everything.
Daughter’s Twitter Outrage: Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene’s Rumored Romance
Ever since rumors of Lana Del Rey dating a guy named Jeremy Dufrene surfaced, Twitter has been rife with hilarious drama. Dufrene’s alleged daughter, Xae (@strnrtn), reportedly discovered the relationship through a Twitter post. She expressed shock and disbelief on social media while being utterly unimpressed by her father’s behavior.

Xae went on to say her mom is considering suing her pops over the whole situation. If we’re to believe Xae, her father apparently texted the group chat and asked her how she found out. He is supposedly clueless about the whole thing since he does not understand social media.
Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene, meanwhile, stirred the dating speculations when the two were spotted together in London on August 25. However, neither has thus far confirmed if they’re genuinely in a relationship. It’s just rumors for now with no substantial evidence that can provide absolute clarity either way.
While the singer’s new love adventure remains unconfirmed, you might be wondering who Jeremy Dufrene is. To answer it short, he is a Louisana native making his living as an alligator hunter and airboat tour guide. As for his family, he reportedly has two kids, both daughters from a previous relationship. However, we’re not sure Xae is one of them. Also, Jeremy does not appear to be married right now, so at least that matches Xae’s story.
The majority of Twitter users are convinced that Xae is merely seeking attention since she has not shared any concrete proof that Jeremy is actually her father. While Lana and Jeremy definitely look like a thing, this whole daughter fiasco sounds too funny to be true. Everyone, including us, is waiting for the situation to resolve itself with some concrete updates from either camp.
Who Is Lana Del Rey’s Rumored New Boyfriend Jeremy Dufrene?
Jeremy Dufrene, who celebrates his birthday on March 20, works as a captain at Airboat Tours by Arthur, where his role includes tours through the swamps and marshes of Louisana. With the option of slow scenic rides or high-speed adventures, guests get a close look at wildlife such as herons, egrets, hawks, alligators, and bald eagles.
Before he was an airboat captain, Dufrene had a tough job at a chemical plant where he had to labor the entire seven days a week. He pursued shrimping as a hobby whenever he got some time off. His family convinced him to seek something different; that’s how he ended up getting his captain’s license. He looks to have embraced his new career with all his heart as he has kept glowing since his career transition.

She later shared pictures from the trip on social media, where Dufrene can be seen helping Lana as she operated the airboat.
Recently, Del Rey’s close relationship with Dufrene was evident on Instagram when she uploaded a picture by tagging him on May 16. The caption read, “Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene 📸 @codyjay.” This was the first time the duo sparked rumors of their romance.
On August 25, 2024, the couple, who have an age gap of over 10 years, was spotted together in London, holding hands while shopping at Harrods before entering a local pub. Fans took pictures and videos of the pair, speculating they must be more than just friends.
Fans are eagerly awaiting new updates and potentially more sightings of the couple. Earlier this week, a TikTok video showed the singer walking hand-in-hand with a man at a music festival, albeit it was unclear if it was Dufrene. Over on Reddit, a user shared a photo of the rumored lovebirds dining at a restaurant in London.
What is Jeremy Dufrene’s Net Worth?
