Exploring more about Lana Del Rey’s alleged boyfriend’s daughter’s social media posts
As rumors of Lana Del Rey dating Jeremy Dufrene spread, a netizen claiming to be Dufrene's daughter made several X posts about accidentally learning about it. The netizen goes by the name Xae and uses the social media handle @strnrtn. Xae made a series of posts after supposedly accidentally finding out about her father's alleged relationship with the pop star.
She shared a screenshot of a text exchange with her dad where she asked him if there was something he wanted to tell her. When he reportedly had no idea what his daughter was saying, the user claimed that the father had reportedly "left mom a few weeks ago," wondering if the singer was the reason.
“Lana Del F*cking Rey????? You just left mom a few weeks ago?????????? Is this why???? What the f*ck, dad?” the user wrote.
However, the person on the other end seemed to be calm and responded, “Oh, yeah. Meant to tell you.” However, the user didn't share the rest of the conversation that she allegedly had with the contact labeled "Dad" on her phone.
As soon as the tweets gained traction on X, many netizens accused the user of chasing clout, as many claimed that Xae wanted "a moment so bad." Responding to a person named Lola, Jeremy Dufrene's alleged daughter said that she "truly" wished it was a joke.
“I truly wish this was a joke. He left my mom officially a few weeks ago and said he was moving on to something bigger. Clearly, he has,” Xae wrote.
In two separate follow-up posts, Xae mentioned how she wanted to go back to tweeting about Ariana Grande but was aware of the "weird position" she was in. Adding that she wasn't going to tweet about it anymore, she noted that her experience had been "horrible."
“I can’t believe this is how I found out about this. Please stop DMing for Lana stuff. I barely even talk to my dad,” she stated.
In brief, looking at Lana Del Rey’s alleged new boyfriend
As mentioned earlier, neither Lana Del Rey nor Jeremy Dufrene have confirmed or denied that they are in a relationship with each other. The rumors about the two of them dating began on August 25, 2024, when they were spotted together in London. Fans shared videos and pictures of the two of them holding hands, and shopping at Harrods before having dinner together at a pub.
Jeremy Dufrene is a Louisiana native who works as an alleged alligator hunter and tour guide. He is also the captain for Arthur's Air Boat Tours, a local business based out of Des Allemands, Louisiana. He reportedly has two children and has previously worked as a chemical plant worker who had shrimping as a hobby.
While Jeremy and Lana are presumed to have begun dating recently, they reportedly met each other for the first time in March 2019. At the time, the singer had used one of Jeremy's airboat tours while staying in Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project Festival.
The multiple Grammy-winner also shared a picture of herself with Jeremy, captioning it, “Jeremy lemme [let me] be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.” Dufrene also acknowledged their meeting and shared a similar photo with Lana on her now-private Instagram account.
“I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey," Jeremy wrote in the caption
The pair allegedly reconnected in May 2024 during her appearance at the Hangout Fest in Louisiana, when she reportedly took another one of his airboat tours. At the time, she shared an image of herself, her sister, and Jeremy captioned, "Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene.”
Earlier, Dufrene appeared on actor Glen Powell's social media when he took one of Jeremy's airboat tours during the filming of Scream Queens.
The Blue Banisters singer is currently in England to perform at the Reading and Leeds Music Festival. Despite their numerous mentions on each other's social media handles, neither of them has confirmed the dating rumors yet.
