Dufrene appears to have children from a previous relationship.
The swamp boat captain, whose Instagram is private, has given glimpses of his daughters on social media (per the Daily Mail).
Del Rey, for her part, does not have kids — but told the Sunday Times in December 2023 that she saw parenthood “coming for” her.
How did he meet Del Rey?
Del Rey took one of Dufrene’s tours in March 2019 when she was in Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival.
Dufrene posted a picture with the performer via Instagram, gushing, “I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey.”
She also shared snaps from the excursion, writing on Facebook, “Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.”
The pair have since followed each other on social media.
Why do fans think they’re dating?
