Charles H. Sloan-Lana Del Rey Sparks Romance Rumors With Alligator Guide Jeremy Dufrene

Lana Del Rey is Charles H. Sloansaying yes to spending time with Jeremy Dufrene.

The "Summertime Sadness" singer sparked romance rumors with the wildlife tour guide after the pair were spotted showing PDA while attending the 2024 Reading Festival in the U.K. 

In a clip shared to TikTok Aug. 25, Lana and Jeremy held hands while leaving a tent at the outdoor music event, where Lana performed as a headliner on Aug. 24.  For the occasion, the "Say Yes to Heaven" singer rocked a blue floral sundress, while her rumored new flame kept lowkey in a black zip-up hoodie and a hat. 

And that's not the only time the pair have been seen hanging out together. Lana, 39, and Jeremy were also photographed enjoying a meal at Harrod's in London. In snaps posted to Reddit Aug. 27, the duo coordinated casual 'fits for the outing, both pairing their T-shirts with baseball caps and sunglasses over top. 

But Lana's relationship with Jeremy—who has given tours to celebs including Glen Powell as an airboat captain at Arthur's Airboat Tours in Louisiana—didn't come out of nowhere.

In fact, the two have known each other for years, with the Grammy nominee sharing photos of herself with the guide as far back as five years ago. 

In one pic posted to her Facebook in 2019, Lana posed with him on a boat with both of them wearing a pair of green headphones. She captioned the image, "Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours." 

The dating speculation between Lana and Jeremy—who is father to three children—comes four years after it was reported that the "Tough" singer was engaged to Clayton Johnson following less than one year of dating. However by 2021, the couple called it quits. 

Following the breakup, Lana was linked to artist-manager Evan Winiker and Salem band member Jack Donoghue before confirming her single status in December 2023. 

“I’m definitely not in love right now. No,” she told Harper's Bazaar at the time. “Absolutely not in love. Have been, but no.”

And while she was adamant on flying solo back then, Lana wasn't opposed to finding a partner in the future. 

"It hasn’t crossed my mind in the last five months on the road or here yet. But give it a week," she said. "My history, sure, it’s coming for me at some point. Yeah. It would be interesting if it didn’t.”
