Pop icon Lana Del Rey has officially tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Jeremy Dunfre, a Louisiana-based alligator swamp tour guide, proving that love knows no bounds, even for A-listers. The couple filed their marriage license in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, with a private ceremony held on September 26, officiated by celebrity pastor Judah Smith, known for guiding stars like Justin Bieber.
For fans, the news of Del Rey’s wedding had been brewing for weeks, with social media abuzz as rumors swirled about whether she and Dunfre had taken the plunge. Now, with the release of intimate photos of their special day, it’s official: the “Video Games” singer is off the market.
Their love story began long before fame and glamour entered the picture. In fact, photos from as early as 2019 show Del Rey enjoying one of Dunfre’s famous swamp tours, indicating that their relationship blossomed far from Hollywood’s spotlight.
Lana Del Rey isn’t the only star to find romance with a “normie”—that is, someone outside the realm of fame and celebrity. Let’s take a look at other celebrities who have also chosen partners from outside their glamorous world.
1. Dolly Parton
The queen of country music, Dolly Parton, has been married to Carl Dean, a former asphalt contractor, since 1966. Despite Dolly’s decades of stardom, Dean has remained famously private, rarely appearing alongside his wife. Their love story started in an unexpected place—a laundromat in Nashville—proving that sometimes, true love is found in the most ordinary of places.
2. Taylor Lautner
The “Twilight” heartthrob Taylor Lautner found love outside the Hollywood circle with registered nurse Taylor Dome. Introduced through his sister, the couple married in 2022 and have since embraced life as the “Taylors.” They now co-host a mental health podcast called “The Squeeze,” blending their personal and professional lives.
3. Elizabeth Taylor
In one of her more unconventional marriages, Elizabeth Taylor wed construction worker Larry Fortensky in a lavish 1991 ceremony at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Their union may have seemed worlds apart, but the couple connected during their time at the Betty Ford Clinic. Though the marriage ended after five years, their time together remains a testament to how love can bridge even the most disparate lives.
4. Matt Damon
Hollywood A-lister Matt Damon met his wife, Luciana Barroso, in 2003 when she was bartending in Miami. It was a true “meet-cute” moment straight out of one of Damon’s movies. They tied the knot in 2005 in a private ceremony, and nearly two decades later, they’re still going strong—proof that love found in unexpected places can last.
5. Wanda Sykes
Comedian Wanda Sykes met her now-wife Alex Niedbalski on a ferry to Fire Island in 2008. Niedbalski, a French businesswoman, was working in granite countertops at the time—far removed from the world of comedy and entertainment. Yet their love blossomed, and Sykes later came out publicly in support of same-sex marriage shortly after their wedding.
Lana Del Rey’s marriage to Jeremy Dunfre is just the latest reminder that even for the world’s biggest stars, love can be found in the most down-to-earth places.
