Who Is Lana Del Rey's Husband, Jeremy Dufrene?
As Lana Del Rey's UK tour gets under way, with shows in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and London, she is fast trending online. Not only are people searching up the American singer, they're also looking up her husband, Jeremy Dufrene. Lana shared a rare photo of her guy, as she celebrated her 40th birthday with him and her in-laws.
Here's everything we know about him…
Lana Del Rey – whose full name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant – is married to Jeremy Dufrene. He has accompanied her throughout her UK gigs – with the songstress even stopping her show mid-way to kiss her husband on stage. During her performance at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 23 June, she paused while singing Stars Fell On Alabama to indulge in some PDA with Jeremy, while appearing to wipe her eyes.
Jeremy Dufrene is 50 years old, having celebrated his milestone birthday on 21 March.
With Jeremy being 50 and Lana being 40, there's a ten-year age gap between the pair.
Jeremy is an alligator tour guide. He works at Airboat Tours by Arthur in Des Allemands, Louisiana, where he explores the Bayou des Allemands, known as the 'Catfish capital of the world'. He meets famous people through his job, including Glen Powell, Kate Hudson and Emma Roberts.
The pair met in March 2019 when Lana took one of Jeremy's swamp boat tours while in Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival and appeared to share an immediate mutual spark. 'Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur's Air Boat Tours x,' she posted afterwards, while he wrote, 'I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure Lana Del Rey.'
Their bond grew when Lana returned to Louisiana for another tour in May 2024. 'Family w my guy Jeremy Dufrene,' she shared. Three months later, Lana and Jeremy were spotted holding hands while in London, before they attended model Karen Elson's wedding in New York in September.
After around five months of dating, the couple obtained a marriage license at the Thibodaux courthouse in Louisiana, in September 2024, according to Page Six. Lana and Jeremy got married the following day, next to the Bayous des Allemands. A month after their nuptials, the musician called her new husband her 'one and only - and amazing', adding, 'We're very happy'.
Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene do not have any children together, but he has three children with his ex-wife: a son and two daughters. The singer has spoken about her hopes of being a mother, saying that it's not quite the right time.
'That's why God didn't give me children yet. Because there is more to explore,' she said. 'I know people who've tested every water. It's burnt them, like Icarus. But I'm willing to go there. I see it coming for me. We'll see. We'll see what melts the wings.'

Katy Perry shocks fans as she smacks a toy Labubu out of concertgoer's hand during Aussie show amid split rumours with fiancé Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry has gone viral after dramatically knocking a fan's Labubu toy out of their hand during her Lifetimes tour in Australia. The American pop star, 39, was captured on TikTok marching towards fans mid-song while carrying a tray of Tim Tams during a performance of her emotional ballad, I'm Still Breathing. As she made her way along the crowd barrier, a fan held out a collectible Labubu toy box - a popular figure from Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung's The Monsters series. Katy quickly took notice, locked eyes with the toy, then abruptly swatted it out of the fan's hand with her microphone. 'I'm still - NO LABUBUS!' she belted theatrically, before crouching down to hand out Tim Tams to the crowd, urging them to use 'gentle hands.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The American pop star, 39, was captured on TikTok marching towards fans mid-song while carrying a tray of Tim Tams during a performance of her emotional ballad, I'm Still Breathing The moment has since gone viral and racked up more than 157,000 views and sparked wild reactions online. The fan who had the toy even surfaced in the comments, writing: 'omg this is the Labubu she slapped.' One user joked: 'The way I would've caught that like Robbie Rotten with a net.' Unbothered by the stir, Katy herself chimed in on the viral clip, leaving a cheeky comment featuring three devil emojis. While it's unclear why she appears to have beef with the cult figurine, the Labubu craze has polarised collectors and fans The character - a furry, big-eyed creature - originates from a storybook by Kasing Lung and has become a global sensation thanks to collectible blind boxes by Pop Mart. Its popularity has exploded in recent years, with scalpers cashing in and prices soaring, much to the frustration of some fans. 'Honestly, One Of The Boys-era Katy would've frothed on Labubus,' joked another viewer, referencing her 2008 debut. It comes as rumours ramp up that Katy has split with fiancé Orlando Bloom. The Roar hitmaker, 40, is currently Down Under on her Australian tour and has been accompanied by her daughter Daisy Dove, four. They were recently joined by Orlando, 48, who was seen walking around Perth's CBD with Daisy over the weekend. Despite their reunion, Katy looked glum as she spent time with her entourage on the luxury yacht in Perth, just hours before it was reported Orlando was set to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding as a 'single man '. The pop star kept a low profile as she wore dark sunglasses and a black bandana while chatting to guests on the boat. Katy and Orlando have been at the centre of intense split speculation during her tour of Australia, and the pop star fuelled rumours even more after making a recent telling comment onstage. The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts when she was handed a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits. She was in the middle of her performance of I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats. 'This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me,' she told the crowd during the brief interlude. 'Thank you,' she added, before launching back into the track while kneeling down and offering the biscuits to audience members in the front row. Meanwhile, Orlando further fuelled split rumours ahead of BFF Bezos' wedding to Sanchez. The actor, who will attend the billionaire's Italian nuptials without Katy amid escalating tension rumours, may make his debut as 'a single man' at the nuptials, a source told TMZ. The insider said: 'He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' and added he may even 'sneak away with Leonardo DiCaprio for some bar crawling.' Another source said: '90 per cent of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10 per cent are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos). It's gonna be a great party!' has contacted representatives for Orlando and Katy for comment. This comes after it was revealed Katy would miss the wedding due to her ongoing Lifetimes tour in Australia. The three-day wedding celebration will reportedly take place from June 24 to 26 in Venice, Italy, while Katy is set to be on the other side of the world. Katy had shows in Perth, Australia on June 22 and 23, followed by a concert on June 26 in Adelaide. She first announced the Australian tour in September 2024, and though it did not initially include the 23 and 26 dates, they were added within the following weeks.

Two U.S. stunners are ranked among the world's most beautiful buildings
From the most beautiful places to visit to the most beautiful theaters in the world, Time Out knows the eye-catching spots that you just have to see for yourself. Just dropped is a list of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and two American venues made the list alongside architectural heavyweights like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the Pantheon in Rome and Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. While natural wonders often get the spotlight, these man-made structures prove that human creativity can be just as awe-inspiring. The top three are international stunners including the Taj Mahal in India, Hallgrímskirkja in Iceland and the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, but at number four is the homegrown Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s, Fallingwater isn't just a house—it's a masterclass in blending architecture with nature. Built as a weekend retreat, the house is famously perched over a waterfall in the Bear Run Nature Reserve. With stone floors, cantilevered terraces jutting into the forest and a fireplace built around boulders from the site, it doesn't just sit in nature—it becomes part of it. The sound of cascading water echoes through every room, making Fallingwater feel alive. The other American-based destination is Museum at Eldridge Street in New York, clocking in at number 16. Originally the Eldridge Street Synagogue, this 1887 architectural gem located in New York City's Lower East Side is a mix of Moorish, Gothic and Romanesque design, with stained glass windows and a striking star-studded ceiling. But the beauty goes deeper than bricks and arches. It was the first synagogue in the U.S. built by Eastern European immigrants, a bold expression of faith and freedom during a wave of immigration. After decades of decline, a major restoration brought it back to life. Today, it stands as both a museum and a symbol of resilience. These two buildings capture different facets of American history and imagination. One blends with nature; the other rises from a cultural legacy. Both are breathtaking in their own right—and now, officially, among the world's finest. Find the full list here.

Review: ‘Disney's Hercules' at Theatre Royal Drury Lane
One of theatre's greatest mysteries is how Disney literally made the most successful musical of all time and then proceeded to learn absolutely nothing from it. Virtuoso director Julie Taymor included all the dumb stuff required by the Mouse in her version of The Lion King – farting warthogs, basically – but nonetheless crafted an audacious and iconic production that departed radically from the aesthetic of the film and is still in theatres today. Subsequent Disney musicals like Aladdin and Frozen aren't bad, but they take zero risks – effectively just plonking the film onstage – and are not in theatres today. And here comes Hercules, the next in the megacorp's long line of perfectly adequate, not very imaginative adaptations of its bountiful '90s animated roster. Book of Mormon director Casey Nicholaw's production is good looking and high energy. Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah's book is appropriately big hearted with a handful of very funny gags. The show's not-so-secret weapon is the retention of the film's sassy quintet of singing Muses. Here turbocharged into a full-on gospel group, they're a whole lot of finger snapping, head shaking, quick-changing fun, and also add a note of character to Alan Menken's likeable but unremarkable Alan Menken-style score. Hercules is a unit of generic Disney stage entertainment However, the Muses are also symptomatic of the fact that the show's Ancient Greece comes across as a reskinned small-town America, without having any comment to make on small-town America. Everyone has American accents, and does American things: the notoriously vindictive goddess Hera is reimagined as a twinkly-eyed all-American mom. While there's a vague nod to Hellenistic art, there were endless opportunities to have done something visually audacious and aesthetically interesting, and they were all passed upon. Sure, The Lion King does insist on the accents, but Taymor's production is pointedly steeped in vivid pan-African aesthetics. Here, Dane Laffrey's sets and George Reeves's video design are often impressive, but they never don't look like a themed restaurant (to be fair, one scene is actually set in a themed restaurant). All that accepted, it's a sturdy action-adventure romp that absolutely does the trick and is eminently worth taking The Kids to during the hols. It begins when Hercules is born to chief gods Zeus and Hera (classical scholars, just sit this one out). The infant is set to enjoy a heavenly existence on Mount Olympus until Stephen Carlile's enjoyably batshit Hades strips away the baby's immortality. Cast out of Olympus and raised by a human single mother, Luke Brady's adult Hercules belatedly discovers his divine parentage and resolves to become a hero, dragging Trevor Dion Nicholas's gruff warrior trainer Phil out of retirement to assist him. Heroic exploits follow: the special effects aren't groundbreaking, but they're good fun, especially the setpiece battle between Hercules, Phil and a many-headed puppet hydra. Brady is a boyish and likeable lead. His permawhite smile is bigger than his pecs – but it's kind of the point that he's not a beefcake, but rather an affable young man bewildered by his own strength. Mae Ann Jorolan gives good 'sassy love interest' as Hercules's sassy love interest, who is called Meg for some reason. They have a particularly great scene together where Meg is lecturing the smitten young man about how it's misogynist to assume she needs his help, and he keeps beatifically zoning out to sing about how hot she is. It's all absolutely fine, and accepting it's not a screechingly ambitious piece of work then perhaps all it really lacks is a big showstopper moment. The songs are solid, but there's no 'Circle of Life'/'A Whole New World'/'Let It Go'-style megabanger. Carlile's Hades turning into a much bigger puppet version of himself in the final showdown almost does the trick visually, but the scene as a whole is a muddle: it's unclear where the climactic battle between the gods is happening, or why it happens when it does, and the combat is pretty wishy washy until the afore-mentioned giga-puppet turns up. Disney musicals have vast budgets and The Lion King is an ongoing reminder that even staying within the lines of the IP, bold creatives can achieve something special with that dosh. Hercules, though, is one unit of generic Disney stage entertainment. It has charm, because it's adapted from a charming film and talented people have made it, but it's definitely not going to go down in legend.
