Lana Del Rey appears to be living her own personal Shrek fantasy and dating a swamp tour guide, the latest in a fleet of unexpected relationships that include both a cop and G-Eazy. Here is Lana's full dating history, presented without comment due to being quite literally without words.
Barrie-James O’Neill: 2011 to 2014
Barrie-James and Lana started dating in 2011 and lasted for several years before breaking things off. And they were pretty public! Lana even gushed about him to Just Jared in 2012, saying, "When I met my boyfriend… we always say that the entire time we were writing for each other, but we didn't know it until we met each other. So, you feel like even though you didn't know the person then all the songs are for them now."
The couple worked together on music and Barrie-James joined Lana on tour, but they parted ways in 2014. Lana confirmed the breakup to 20 Minutes, saying, "We are currently not together. He is a wonderful person. But there are some things he has to deal with. I will not explain it in detail. This was hard on our relationship. I no longer felt free."
Francesco Carrozzini: 2014 to 2015
These two were first spotted in Italy during Summer 2014 and spent a whirlwind year traveling (and being pap'd) all over the world together before breaking up in Fall 2015. Some mems:
G-Eazy: 2017
Their relationship began the way so many ill-fated celebrity love connections do: at Coachella. Apparently, Lana and G-Eazy connected at the music festival in April 2017and dated for several months before G-Eazy moved on with Halsey.
But G-Eazy seemingly referenced Lana in his 2020 song "Moana," which has the lyrics "I know a Keisha and I know Lana / They try to get me back, but I'm like, 'No, nah, nah' / I'm sorry, I don't want no drama, nah / That's a hard no, pass."
Sean Larkin: 2019 to 2020
Lana dated cop/Live PD star Sean "Sticks" Larkin for several months between late 2019 and early 2020, and they even went red carpet official. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was...times.
Sean confirmed their breakup in a profile with the New York Times, saying, “Right now, we’re just friends. We still talk and whatnot, we just have busy schedules right now.”
He added that he and Lana met in NYC and “just kind of hit it off from day one” and then “When we were in Tulsa we hung out with my law enforcement friends and their spouses. We all Super Bowl partied together, dinners and things like that. Normal things couples do with their friends.”
I remain without words, so moving on. Wait actually never-mind, reminder that Lana placed the only billboard for her album in Sean's hometown of Tulsa:
Clayton Johnson: 2020 to 2021
Lana and musician Clayton Johnson had a whirlwind romance for about a year, and it appears to have included an engagement. At least according to Us Weekly!
The couple split in September 2021, with a source telling The Mirror, "Lockdown had its struggles and they have sadly gone their separate ways." But! Lana and Clayton are still in touch and making music together:
Jack Donoghue: 2022
Lana and musician Jack Donoghue were linked after being spotted at...a monster truck race in February 2022. Then she showed up at his birthday in the Spring and by Summer 2022, they were out here posing outside the Cook County Jail in Chicago.
No clue why they broke up or when, but this was truly a moment to live through.
Evan Winiker: 2022 to 2023
Not much is known about this relationship, but back in March 2023, Billboard revealed Lana and talent manager Evan were engaged.
They quietly broke things off a few months later, and Lana later hit the comments of her Insta saying, “He is wonderful. I gave a no drama, honest interview as usual, I shared my space and my heart so there’s absolutely nothing to be misconstrued on my end—he is the kindest so—that you should know.”
Jeremy Dufrene: August to September 2024
Lana is currently rumored to be dating alligator/swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene. The pair were seeing holding hands ahead of Lana taking the stage at the Reading & Leeds Festival in England, and then they were spotted at a pub in London.
It seems the pair have known each other since 2019 when Jeremy led Lana and her friends on a swamp tour, which she documented on Facebook.
Meanwhile, People reports that they've obtained a marriage license and have 30 days from September 23 to get married. I'll give you several moments.
