Lana Del Rey's husband, Jeremy Dufrene, has publicly denied claims that he supports the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Replying to a comment on Instagram, Dufrene said 'no MAGA supporter here.'
The rumours came after screenshots allegedly from his Facebook account circulated online, suggesting he had shared conservative or politically controversial posts in the past.
Jeremy Dufrene, 49, works as an alligator tour captain in Des Allemands, Louisiana. He became publicly known for his relationship with Del Rey, which started in 2024.
The couple was photographed at Leeds Festival in England, and later married in a low‑key ceremony on the Louisiana bayou. They have known each other since at least 2019, when Del Rey shared photos from one of his swamp tours.
The rumours about Dufrene's politics largely stem from old screenshots shared online, showing him allegedly reposting conservative content. Some posts were described by fans of Del Rey as anti-vaccine or hostile to transgender people.
There is no verified evidence that the posts came from Dufrene's real account, and he has never addressed those screenshots directly. He has, however, firmly denied being a MAGA supporter in the comment section.
Observers also point to his Louisiana background, a state known for Republican leanings, as a factor in the assumptions about his politics. Users gave Jufrene the benefit of the doubt as 'someone from Louisiana' said: 'I've met people in my state that look like and talk like a textbook conservative, but are registered democrats and have voted liberal in every election they've participated in. And vice versa.'
Not everyone is convinced, though. One commenter added, 'The transphobic posts from his Facebook were vile. I believe that people absolutely have the ability to change their minds however the proof is in the pudding and for right now, all I see is a half-assed attempt to gain a few positive PR points because she's releasing new music.'
The couple's romance has attracted attention because it differs from typical celebrity partnerships. Dufrene is not a public figure; he works with airboats and conducts swamp tours.
Del Rey, 40, has said she admires his straightforwardness and resilience. On the first time they met, the singer recalled that he told her, 'I work with alligators — I have tough skin.'
