Insiders Reveal How ‘Jealous’ Lana Del Rey Tore Up New Husband Jeremy Dufrene’s Family – And Her Petty Request About His Ex’s Crystals

Lana Del Rey’s ‘jealousy’ has caused an explosive rift between her new husband Jeremy Dufrene and his longtime ex-fiancée, who has been banned from visiting their marital home to see their daughter.

The singer-songwriter, 39, married Louisiana-born Dufrene, 49, in front of a small gathering of family and friends on Thursday at the bayou where they first met five years ago during one of his famous swamp tours.

Now, insiders have exclusively revealed that Del Rey has been texting the gator guide for the past four years of his 13-year relationship with Kelli Welsh, 45, whose friendship with Dufrene fell apart in the weeks since they started dating.

Welsh, who was blindsided by the news of their courthouse marriage, was also said to be unaware that Del Rey and Dufrene had kept the last of their possessions from the home they once shared – including her crystals while transporting them ” energy”.

“Jeremy and Lana started talking in 2019 but never stopped,” the insider told DailyMail.com. “At one point she messaged him on social media and said she was taking a break for a while but he could call her anytime.

“This is while he was engaged to Kelli. Lana knew Jeremy was engaged. He was very honest about it and had pictures of Kelli and the kids on his own social media.

Welsh and Dufrene started dating as teenagers when she was 16 and he was 19, but broke up after a year.

He went on to marry his first wife, Gina, with whom he has two sons and a daughter.

A year after their marriage ended, he rekindled with Welsh in 2011, keeping in touch over the years.

He proposed in 2012, but the teenage sweethearts never tied the knot and eventually split last October. Dufrene also raised Welsh’s daughter Alana, now 20, as her own. She still lives with him, while Welsh is now based in Texas.

Their relationship has also become estranged since he started dating Del Rey.

The source claimed that Welsh briefly moved to Texas to care for a sick relative, but ended up staying after the distance kept them apart.

But before they moved in, they went on a camping trip together, where she told him she wanted “more out of the relationship”.

“She wanted to start making real memories with him, but Jeremy was working 24/7,” the source claimed. “He put work before everything else, including her.”

Del Rey recently moved into the home she previously shared with Welsh and the two Since then, all of Welsh’s possessions have been stored and Welsh has been banned from visiting.

“Jeremy told Kelli that she wasn’t allowed in the house after meeting Lana, which was really upsetting for her,” the source said.

“Kelli’s biological daughter, Alanna, still lives there with Jeremy, who she believes to be her father. But he never adopted it.

“What’s confusing is that Jeremy’s ex-wife Gina was always at home with her new husband. They were a big, blended family.

“So for Kelli not to be allowed, it makes no sense.” Jeremy said that Lana was jealous of her because of their long history. So when he moved into the house, they took all of Kelli’s stuff and put it in storage.

“Lana was especially eager to get rid of Kelli’s crystals. He told Jeremy that the crystals carried so much energy and he needed them gone.

“She wanted to start a new life with him and wanted no piece of his past – especially with his ex of more than a decade.”

The Grammy nominee exchanged vows with Dufrene by the water in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, on Thursday, just a month after they were first photographed together.

Despite the tensions, the insider insisted the unlikely couple are very much in love – with the singer on good terms with his children, who he recently flew to her Los Angeles estate.

The source said: “Sshe flew him and all the kids, plus all of the kid’s significant others, on a private jet to her home in LA, where they stayed for a week.

“He gave the children an expense allowance of $200 each. Obviously I like her a lot.

They insisted that Dufrene “didn’t marry her for her money” but claimed that Del Rey showered her with gifts, including three $3000 suits.

“He has never owned anything so expensive,” they added.

“Jeremy is getting used to living like a king, but there’s no way he’s going to quit his job and let someone take care of him. It’s funny to see him dressed up though.

“It would be hilarious to see him at the Met Gala with her. Can you imagine?

But despite Del Rey’s $30 million fortune, enough to buy them a top luxury block, the newlyweds plan to live in her modest five-bedroom childhood home, which she demolished and rebuilt it from the ground up in 2020.

“For most people, the area where Jeremy lives is a middle of nowhere town,” the source said.

“But Lana likes the fact that she can go out and people don’t know who she is.” They’ve gone to Walmart together and gone out to eat a few times and no one has any idea she’s famous and she loves it.

The Summertime Sadness singer went public with Dufrene on August 25 when they were spotted holding hands and enjoying a romantic meal together in London after performing at Reading Festival.

The two then attended Karen Elson’s wedding earlier this month alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

On Monday, TMZ reported that the unlikely couple had obtained a marriage license.

The newlyweds first met when he performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana in March 2019. She went on one of his tours and shared a photo of him kissing an alligator.

DailyMail.com previously revealed that the Grammy nominee didn’t immediately reveal who she was to Dufrene because she found it “refreshing” that the gator enthusiast had “no idea” who she was.
