Lana Del Rey has revealed why she married alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene.
Lana revealed that her pal Jack Antonoff’s relationship with actress Margaret Qualley was the inspiration behind her decision to wait until she found the right man to get married.
At Variety’s Hitmakers Brunch on Saturday, the Summertime Sadness hitmaker honored Antonoff with the Producer of the Decade award.
“Most of all, I’m grateful for him for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret [Qualley],” Lana said.
“I saw the way he looked at her when he met her, and he’s a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband,” the Young and Beautiful singer continued.
“I really feel like there’s kind of a singer’s curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race,” she remarked.
She reflected on how difficult it is for a singer to find a devoted man in the industry.
“And it’s super nerve-racking to have to hold onto an innocent perception of how things could go when you’re in an industry where maybe your values or your morals don’t quite match up with what’s going on,” she explained.
“Especially when people think that you probably don’t have any morals or values,” she noted, praising Antonoff for “maybe helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I perceive myself.”
Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene reportedly first met in 2019, when the singer took one of his tours.
