Kelli Welsh, Lana Del Rey’s former fiancée, expressed amazement and wished the couple well. Dufrene, who married Del Rey, 39, on September 26 in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, was previously engaged to Kelli Welsh. According to The Daily Mail, Welsh and Dufrene were engaged for 12 years until splitting in October 2023. Welsh, 45, told the source that while she was stunned to learn of her ex-lover’s marriage, she is pleased for Dufrene and Del Rey. Welsh stated, “I’m shocked because we were engaged for 12 years, and he got married in one month.” But I’m thrilled for him.”
She said, “He is a protective, industrious, manly man. He needed to step outside of his comfort zone. He was accustomed to bayou life and being out in the swamp. “He deserves this blessing.” She added how glad she is to see him with Del Rey and how much she feels about him as a friend. Welsh clarified: “He deserves it because he has always been a giver and deserves to have someone give to him.” Del Rey, 39, married Dufrene on Thursday, September 26, in a tiny ceremony in Des Allemandes, Louisiana. Her real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant.
The singer, escorted by her father, Robert Grant, looked lovely in a flowing white gown as they made their way down the aisle, according to photographs provided by the site. Dufrene, a captain for Airboat Tours by Arthur, and Del Rey have only recently begun dating. They married some years after the singer of Summertime Sadness started to see her new spouse. Del Rey shared photos of herself and Dufrene on Facebook for the first time in 2019 after one of their outdoor trips. She captioned the images, “Jeremy, let me be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours.” According to The Daily Mail, Welsh and Dufrene started dating as youngsters but split up after a year. After that, Dufrene married Gina, his first wife. The couple had three children together, but their marriage lasted barely one year. Years later, in 2011, Dufrene and Welsh were reconciled. Welsh and Dufrene became engaged the following year, but they never married.
