Did Lana Del Rey pause her Cardiff show for a heartfelt kiss with husband Jeremy Dufrene?

Lana Del Rey offered Cardiff fans an intimate glimpse into her personal life during her performance on June 23. The singer, known for her haunting melodies and openness with regard to vulnerability, stopped in the middle of performing to convey a personal display of affection that reduced both her and the audience to tears.

During her performance of "Husband of Mine," the 40-year-old artist stepped back away from the microphone and strode over to the edge of the stage. There, standing in the wings, was her husband, Jeremy Dufrene. Lana Del Rey shared a long, passionate kiss and returned to center stage, clearly overcome with emotion, blotting away at the tears as she continued singing.

The kiss has since become a viral sensation, with fans labeling it one of the most romantic moments they have witnessed from the singer. Fans flooded social media, sharing reactions and clips that capture the moment as they praised Lana Del Rey for offering a glimpse of her personal life, which does not often happen.

Lana Del Rey and Dufrene, who is a Louisiana-based professional alligator tour guide, have kept their relationship relatively private. They went public for the first time less than a year ago and had married each other in a private wedding in September 2024. Monday's performance in Cardiff was the first of her limited UK and Ireland summer tour, and the public displays of affection by the couple added an extra level of personal touch to the performance.

The fans were particularly touched by Lana's visible emotions on stage. The kiss seemed authentic, one reminiscent of the vulnerability often found in the lyrics of Del Rey's ballads. For an artist who has made a living shrouded in mystery and melancholia, this public display of affection felt surprising as well as down-to-earth.

Adding fuel to the emotional build-up of the conversation, Del Rey had only recently shared a photograph from her 40th birthday with her close ones. In coordinating camo outfits, she stood with two birthday cakes in a tongue-in-cheek caption that expressed her familiar mix of humor and reflection.
