Following weeks of speculation regarding their relationship, the marriage license was duly signed and submitted to the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court, where it was officially filed on Friday.

The obtained document mentions Los Angeles pastor Judah Smith, known for his association with Justin Bieber, as the officiant for the ceremony. Interestingly, the fifth track on Del Rey’s 2023 album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” is entitled “Judah Smith Interlude,” in which Smith is credited as a co-writer.

Reports from TMZ surfaced on September 26, indicating that Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, and Dufrene had secured a marriage license. Confirmation from the local Clerk of Court stated that the license was acquired on September 23, although it was not processed immediately.

In Louisiana, marriage licenses must typically be returned by the officiant to the issuing office within a 10-day window following the ceremony, although the clerk’s office acknowledges that exceptions may occur. The license was set to expire on Wednesday.

The couple officially celebrated their union on September 26 at 3:33 p.m. in Des Allemands, Louisiana, an area in the bayou where Dufrene serves as a captain for Airboat Tours by Arthur. The license indicates that both Del Rey and Dufrene reside in Des Allemands, which is an unincorporated area in St. Charles Parish.

While the exact timeline of their relationship isn’t fully known, photos from as early as 2019 show Del Rey participating in one of Dufrene’s tours.

Lana Del Rey, an eleven-time Grammy nominee, is renowned for her emotionally evocative and nostalgic pop music, often infused with themes of vintage Americana. She has released nine studio albums and gained widespread recognition for her iconic hit “Summertime Sadness” from her acclaimed 2012 record, “Born to Die.”

Representatives for Del Rey have yet to confirm the marriage when asked for comments last month, and they did not respond promptly to inquiries made on Wednesday.
