BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Lana Del Rey's new husband, Jeremy Dufrene, recently made headlines after a video surfaced of him joking about feeding his ex-wife to an alligator during one of his bayou airboat tours in Louisiana.

In the video, Jeremy, an airboat captain, can be seen interacting with a massive alligator, using his humor to keep the tourists entertained.

At one point, he quipped, "Me and (the alligator) have been pretty tight ever since I fed him my ex-wife. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding," in the video obtained by TMZ. Although the comment was made in jest, it raised eyebrows given the limited public knowledge about Jeremy and his relationship with Del Rey.

The couple's marriage was first reported in late September when they obtained a marriage license from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court. Soon after, they were spotted exchanging vows at Airboat Tours By Arthur in Des Allemands, where Jeremy works as an airboat captain.



 

Despite the eyebrow-raising joke, Lana has publicly defended her husband, calling him her "one and only" and "amazing" after paparazzi caught the two spending time together.

Since their wedding, however, the couple has faced some unwanted attention. Lana revealed that a local couple has allegedly been flying drones around their property, disrupting their privacy as newlyweds.



 

Lana Del Rey’s new husband, who tied the knot with the singer at Airboat Tours By Arthur, is a father of two daughters from a previous marriage with Gina.

His ex-fiance, Kelli Welsh, who was engaged to him for twelve years, has expressed her surprise at the quickness of his new marriage but also stated, “But I am happy for him. He is a very protective, hardworking, manly man. He needed to get out of his comfort zone. He was used to bayou life and being out on the swamp," per Daily Mail.

"He is deserving of this blessing. I will say that he really does look happy with her and she does with him which is a good thing to see. It's not a fake happy – he truly is in love with her."

Lana Del Rey's husband, Jeremy Dufrene, has found himself at the center of controversy after making a joke about feeding his ex-wife to an alligator during a recent airboat tour in Louisiana.

His dark humor has elicited strong reactions online, with many questioning the appropriateness of the comment.

One user expressed disbelief, writing, "What kind of sick joke is this?" Another chimed in, "He probably Carole Baskin’d her for real," referencing the infamous figure from the Netflix series 'Tiger King'.

Carole Baskin, the star of the Netflix documentary series 'Tiger King' has denied rumors that she fed her husband Don Lewis to the tigers at her animal rescue ranch in Tampa, Florida, per News24.



 



 

Reactions continued, with one commenter stating, "Oh naw.. That ain’t funny," while another referred to Dufrene as "the male version of Carole Baskin." The sentiment was echoed on Facebook, where a user simply stated, "It’s giving Carol Baskin."



 

"Well that’s def a red flag," one user remarked.



 

Another user wrote, "That’s not dark at all," whereas another commented, "Carole Baskin approves."
