Recent Sighting Fuels Speculation About Lana Del Rey And Jeremy Dufrene
Speculation about a potential romance between Lana and Jeremy began when musician Chris Floyd shared a video clip on Instagram on August 25, 2024. In the video, Lana was seen holding hands with the Louisiana-based guide at the Reading & Leeds Festival.
