Lana Del Rey shares never-before-seen photo from her wedding to alligator tour guide
The Summertime Sadness singer, 40, posted a stunning snap from their surprise September 2024 nuptials, which had flown largely under the radar.
Wearing a simple ivory gown with oversized ruffled shoulders and a big blue bow in her hair, Lana held hands with Dufrene, 49, as they stood before a minister holding what appeared to be a Bible.
A sunbeam cast down on the couple as he gazed lovingly at her in a classic black suit.
She captioned the photo: 'May 12 angels guard you While you preach tonight @judahsmith @chelseasmith,' tagging two pastors.
The sweet shot comes just weeks after Lana gave followers a look at her quiet new life in Louisiana with her outdoorsman husband.
Earlier this month, she posted a batch of relaxed snaps and videos — showing the couple cozying up, enjoying the slow pace of bayou life, and embracing her new Southern surroundings.
In one clip, the singer twirled around a boat pole in the middle of the swamp, prompting fans to dub her a 'bayou babe.'
Wearing a plain yellow dress knotted at the waist, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, Lana danced against a peaceful backdrop of lily pad-covered water.
The couple tied the knot by the water in Des Allemands, Louisiana, the same spot where Dufrene runs his popular swamp tours.
Their wedding came just a month after Lana confirmed their relationship following a hush-hush romance.
In photos and videos obtained by DailyMail.com exclusively, the Born To Die hitmaker was seen being walked down the aisle by her father Robert Grant with a floral bouquet in hand.
After saying 'I Do,' Dufrene — a Louisiana native and divorced father-of-three — grabbed onto Lana's hand as they made their way to the outdoor reception.
The newlyweds walked past one of Dufrene's famous swamp air boats, which was tied to the dock and decorated with white flowers for the couple's wedding.

Lana had first shared a photo with Dufrene in 2019 after taking one of his tours with Arthur's Airboats.
The pair reconnected in 2024, got engaged, and were married by the end of September.
'It's been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana's close friends hoped she would get married,' a source told DailyMail.com.
'Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He's a great guy.'
The insider added: 'He's charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman, and he treats Lana really well. She's an old soul.'

Cameron Diaz, 52, looks nearly unrecognizable as she goes fresh-faced in New York City
Cameron Diaz looked nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out in a fresh-faced, no-makeup look over the weekend. On Sunday, the 52-year-old actress was dressed for comfort as she modeled a casual, double denim outfit for a stroll in New York City. She seemed chill and comfortable as she walked around in the oversize ensemble with a relaxed fit — a combination that was much different than her usual, glamorous looks. The Charlie's Angel star — who saw many of her X-rated confessions about her steamy love life resurface earlier this year — had her platinum blonde hair tied up in an effortless updo. She wore a pair of rectangular, gold-framed glasses and flashed a cheek-to-cheek grin as she made her way through the city. Her outing comes after the star, a vocal advocate of aging naturally, previously admitted to what cosmetic procedures she had gotten done in the past. On Sunday, the 52-year-old actress was dressed for comfort as she modeled a casual, double denim outfit for a stroll in New York City Over a decade ago, she confessed to getting Botox injections but said she stopped as she regretted getting the procedure done. In January 2014, she spoke about her experience with injections at the time. 'I've tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something,' she told ET at the time. 'It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, "No, I don't want to [be] like [that]." I'd rather see my face aging than a face that doesn't belong to me at all.' She continued, adding that she learned to embrace her laugh lines. 'I love it. I don't mind. It's like, "Guess what this means, I've smiled my whole life." I love life. I'm happy I don't have a problem with that.' She also once publicly discussed getting a nose job in 2006 after she broke her nose from a surfing accident. This comes after her many X-rated confessions about her sex life over the years recently resurfaced. She previously made a number of shocking admissions from her 'animalistic' tendencies in bed to how far she would go for a booty call. In various instances, the Back In Action star had also dished on one of her favorite places to have sex, her 'hungry vagina' and her sexual attraction to women. Diaz is currently married to Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden, 46, who once admitted he 'fears' her while making rare comments about their marriage. Before they tied the knot, the Charlie's Angels alum previously recalled how she journeyed many miles and 'traveled for c**k.' She also spoke about how her love language is definitely physical touch as her many confessions resurfaced earlier this year. Back in 2010, she dished to Playboy about how she went above and beyond for a booty call. 'Oh gosh, I can't even count how many times I've gotten on a plane for love. It's not unusual in this business; my lifestyle demands it.' She added: 'I'm always traveling for c**k. You've got to go where it is.' Diaz also once confessed to how she is 'primal' with her lover and how she enjoys having outdoor sex in the 'open' air. 'I'm primal on an animalistic level, kind of like, "Bonk me over the head, throw me on your shoulder. You man, me woman",' she said in the same interview with Playboy. 'There's something about moonlight on the body and things happening sort of free and open...' She added: 'I love to cuddle. I love physical contact. I have to be touching my lover, like, always. It's not optional. It's an absolute. My lover is everything to me.' Diaz also previously made an appearance on comedian Chelsea Handler's show, Chelsea Lately, in 2014 and stressed the importance of being educated about sex anatomy. 'For me, the vagina is such an integral part of the body. We think the vagina is on the outside,' she said before encouraging others to 'learn about it' and 'get in there' with consent. 'You're supposed to treat it like a beautiful flower — the delicate flower that it is. And you're supposed to nurture it in all the ways that it needs nurturing. It's hungry.' She told Glamour in 2014 about her attraction to women. 'I think women are beautiful — absolutely beautiful. 'I think that all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point,' she continued. 'It's natural to have a connectivity and an appreciation for the beauty of other women.' She also talked about her love for women in her Playboy interview from 2010. 'Sexuality and love can be different things. I can be attracted to a woman sexually,' she said. 'But it doesn't mean I want to be in love with a woman.' She added: 'If I'm going to be with a woman sexually, it doesn't mean I'm a lesbian. We put these restraints and definitions on people, but it's hard to define.'

'I never wanted to be married - never,' Halsey scoffed on the October 30th episode of Call Her Daddy. 'I can't even explain why [I want to marry Jogia] you know what I mean? Because I do I love him in such a way that I feel like we would be just as fine if we didn't, but something about that makes me want to do it more.' The groom and bride-to-be both happen to be biracial - Avan is half Indian and Halsey is half black.

'At least give a warning' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram' 'His favorite painter is Van Gogh. He loves A Tribe Called Quest and The Cranberries. He collects tiny treasures and stores them in jars. He is the first person to notice if a friend gets hurt. He remembers names and favorite colors, and his is yellow because he is joy. He is absolute magic.' Halsey previously romanced Evan Peters, Yungblud, G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Lido, and Matty Healy. Meanwhile, the Autopsy of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob poet previously dated his Zombieland co-star Zoey Deutch between 2012-2017 and his Now Apocalypse co-star Cleopatra Coleman between 2017-2021.

Lionsgate's modern-day western - formerly known as National Anthem - also stars Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex. Halsey then concludes her $3.5M-grossing, 31-date For My Last Trick: The Tour at Turkey's Yenikapi Festival Park in Istanbul on August 28, which will be filmed. The I Never Loved You belter will also reunite with her MaXXXine director Ti West for Amazon MGM Studios series Bloodlust that she's creating, writing, and producing. 'I started the pilot a few years ago and Amazon wanted it and they took it and now we're getting it on the road,' Halsey told THR on Sunday. 'There's not so much that I can say but it's really cool to be a part of a project that I don't face. It's quite relieving. [I'm] just behind the scenes, just the puppet master. I don't have to do my make-up.' As for Avan, his upcoming acting projects include Amazon MGM Studios' eight-episode erotic thriller 56 Days and A24's sci-fi horror The Backrooms directed by Kane Parsons.

Hulk Hogan's estranged daughter Brooke reveals why she snubbed WWE legend's funeral
Brooke Hogan, the daughter of late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has spoken out after choosing not to attend his funeral on Tuesday. Hogan's devastated friends and family gathered at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida to say their final goodbyes to the WWE legend after his death from a cardiac arrest at age 71. However, Brooke, who shared a tense relationship with her dad towards the end of his life, did not attend the service. Instead, she took the personal decision to celebrate her father's life in her own private way. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' Brooke, 37, explained on Instagram Tuesday evening. 'And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best way I knew way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves... and the sunset.' Alongside her emotional caption, Brooke, who welcomed twins - a boy and a girl - wither her husband, ex-NHL player Steven Oleksy in January, shared a series of touching photos of the young family. Earlier in the day, Brooke had announced that she would be taking her children to Hogan's 'favorite place', the beach. And her carousel of photos, showed the twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, frollicking in the water as she and Oleksy held them along the shore. 'Daddy, we honored you in the simplest, most genuine way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved,' she continued. 'Molly loved the water. I think she'll be a "little fish" as you called me. We love you and honor the things that made you so special. Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you. 'Rest in heaven, Daddy❤️'
