Lana Del Rey's Complete Dating History
From musicians to police officers, here is Lana Del Rey's full list of previous boyfriends.
Lana Del Rey is one of the most private celebrities when it comes to her love life, and oftentimes fans have to dig deep to know the full story. Even though she rarely posts relationship updates online, somehow Del Rey always seems to land on the front cover with someone not widely known. The only major celebrity she has dated in the past was American rapper G-Eazy, but that relationship didn't last long. Although Del Rey has said she doesn't have a type, she is definitely drawn to people in the music industry. A majority of her past boyfriends have been singers and songwriters, with a few exceptions. To find out a complete history of the beloved Lana's past loves, read down below.
Barrie-James O'Neill
Del Rey and Scottish singer-songwriter Barrie-James O'Neill started dating in 2011. They made several public appearances side by side and even wrote some music together. In 2013, Del Rey went on tour for her album Paradise and O'Neill's band, Kassidy, followed her around the country as her opening act. A year later, both of them admitted that their relationship was over; however, they have remained friendly since then. So friendly, in fact, that O'Neill had a significant part in the creation of Del Rey's 2021 album Blue Banisters.
Francesco Carrozzini
Not long after her split with O'Neill, Del Rey was presumed to be dating photographer and son of Vogue Italia's late editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, Francesco Carrozzini. The two were caught on several occasions displaying their affection in public, but neither of them ever admitted to being together.
G-Eazy
Although very short-lived, it was rumored that Del Rey and G-Eazy were having a fling in 2017. There was no evidence, except for a few instances of being spotted together at Coachella and leaving a nightclub together in Los Angeles. Later that year, there was news that G-Eazy had started to date Halsey, so there was new gossip to be discussed. In 2022, G-Eazy collaborated with Jack Harlow on their hit song "Moana" in which Del Rey was clearly mentioned in a lyric: "I know a Keisha and I know Lana / They try to get me back, but I'm like, 'No, nah, nah' / I'm sorry, I don't want no drama, nah / That's a hard no, pass." It seems as if the pair maybe didn't end on the best of terms.
Sean Larkin
One of her more dramatic relationships was to police officer and Live PD analyst Sean Larkin. He was one of the few boyfriends Del Rey posted on her Instagram account, and he even made a red carpet appearance with her in 2020. Later that year, the couple split up, but Larkin told the New York Times that they remained friends. However, fans aren't sure Del Rey took the breakup as well as Larkin. She announced her album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd right on his birthday and even admitted to placing a singular billboard advertising her album in Tulsa, his hometown. It doesn't seem like calm waters between them after all.
During her 2023 performance at Hyde Park, Del Rey added lyrics to her song "Chemtrails Over the Country Club," alluding to her and Larkin still being together when he married his now-wife in 2022. She sang, "He's born in December and got married when we were still together / He got married when we were in couples therapy together / Sometimes I wonder what his wife would think if she knew," suggesting that her relationship with Larkin went on for much longer than previously rumored.
Clayton Johnson
When Del Rey started appearing in musician Clayton Johnson's Instagram posts, fans began to think that there may be a budding romance. Not long into their relationship, Del Rey was spotted wearing a large diamond ring, but neither of them admitted to being in a relationship let alone to being engaged. Not until 2021 did Johnson publically recognize their relationship with a photo on his Instagram. Because they were such a private couple, it's not exactly known when they split; however, they weren't spotted together for quite some time.
Jack Donoghue
Del Rey and musician Jack Donoghue chose to keep their romance extremely private. Dating rumors began in 2022 when Donoghue posted a video of the pair at a monster truck race, but it has since been deleted. They went Instagram official for a very short time as well, but there has hardly been any new information about the couple since then.
Evan Winiker
We finally have the answer as to why it didn't work out between Del Rey and Donoghue. On March 28, 2023, it was reported that Del Rey and musician Evan Winiker were engaged. Before this announcement, there was no news of their relationship, but that is exactly Del Rey's style.
However, in November 2023, Del Rey confirmed that she is not engaged, not in a relationship, nor does she plan to be anytime soon. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she spoke on her current relationship status, saying, "I’m definitely not in love right now. No,” firmly telling the interviewer that she is “absolutely not in love. Have been, but no." She also mentions that being in love in the future hasn't really crossed her mind over the last five months while on tour. She does allude to understanding the interest her dating life brings her fans, and noting that "her history is coming for her at some point."
