Lana Del Rey Embraces Louisiana Life, Pushes Country Album "Stove" to January 2026

A rare W Magazine interview links her bayou routines to new creative choices.

Overview

  • Lana Del Rey says she now spends most of her time in Louisiana with husband Jeremy Dufrene, an airboat captain and alligator tour guide.
  • She described swimming in the bayou near alligators, noting she does not go alone and joking that Louisiana gators are nicer than Florida’s.
  • Del Rey and Dufrene married on Sept. 26, 2024, in an intimate ceremony in Des Allemands at the spot where they first met on a 2019 tour.
  • She called Dufrene the most impactful person in her life and said her unreleased song "Stars Fell on Alabama" about him opens her shows.
  • Her country-leaning album Stove is now expected in January 2026 after she added six more autobiographical songs, following sessions with Luke Laird and Jack Antonoff.
