Is Lana Del Rey currently in a relationship?
Not only is Lana Del Rey currently in a relationship, but she is also reportedly engaged to partner Evan Winiker. Del Rey and Winiker went public with their relationship in September 2022, but have kept a relatively low profile, so it is not exactly clear how long they have been together. Del Rey sparked engagement rumors earlier this month when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music event.
Del Rey spoke to W Magazine about when she feels happiest back in spring 2022. “I’m happiest when I see my brother and sister thriving. One of my goals is to make sure that my siblings and I are always safe. I’m happiest around my three girlfriends, Candy, Jen, and Annie because they make me feel understood. I’m happiest when I’m lying down in the park, and I look up and I think to myself, 'Isn’t it beautiful that just lying on the grass and feeling the support of the earth underneath me is enough for today?'”
She added, “I spent so much time trying to ask myself, ‘Why me?’ and ‘Why this?’ It’s so nice to be over that. I also love to dance. Joan Baez has a dancing party every Saturday night on Zoom, which I’m so grateful to be invited to—there’s something beautiful about dancing with very down-to-earth people.”
Well, we can imagine she is pretty happy right now!

In 2015, Del Rey opened up about the idea of becoming a mom. "I’ve thought about it. Really thought about it lately because I’ve just turned 30. I’d love having daughters. But I don’t think it’d be a good idea to have kids with someone who wasn’t ... on the same page."

What guys has Lana Del Rey dated?
Like any single woman in her 30s, Lana Del Rey has played the field in her time. As a result, you end up racking up a fair amount of exes. Here are the lucky fellows to have dated the singer in the past:
Jack Donoghue
Del Rey was rumored to be in a relationship with singer-songwriter and Salem band member Jack Donoghue beginning in early 2022. The two appeared to go Instagram official in July 2022 when the musician posted pictures of the two posing in front of Chicago’s Cook County Jail to his account captioned with “family visit.”
However, it would appear the two called it quits not long after as by September 2022, Del Rey was apparently already dating current partner Evan Winiker.

Clayton Johnson
In 2020, Del Rey was linked to musician Clayton Johnson after reportedly meeting on a dating app. The two followed each other on Instagram in August of that year, a true sign of romance, and by December sources told PEOPLE that the couple had gotten engaged. Considering Del Rey had been spotted sporting what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring, the assumption makes sense! The couple was still together in February 2021 when Johnson made the relationship Instagram official. It is not clear when or why they broke up, but by early 2022 Del Rey was already spending time with Donoghue.

Sean Larkin
In September 2019, Del Rey was linked to a somewhat unlikely romantic candidate, Sean “Sticks” Larkin, a real-life policeman and Live PD analyst. The two were first publicly spotted walking together in Central Park. Del Rey confirmed the relationship a month later in October 2019 and made their relationship Instagram official in December of that year with their red carpet debut coming the following month. However, by March 2020, the two had gone their separate ways.
It appears the two did not end on the best of terms as when Del Rey was promoting her album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which she conveniently announced on Larkin's birthday in December 2022, the singer arranged for a billboard advertising the album to be placed conspicuously in Larkin's hometown.
On her private Instagram account Del Rey wrote, "There's only one [billboard] and it's in Tulsa," before later adding in the comments, "It's. Personal."

G-Eazy
Del Rey was romantically linked to rapper G-Eazy starting in April 2017 when they were seen together at Coachella. Less than a month after that they were seen leaving a Hollywood nightclub together. However, by the summer of 2017, G-Eazy was linked to singer and his “Him & I” collaborator Halsey, so it would appear this was a short relationship for Del Rey.
Del Rey may not have taken the split well as it is suspected her 2017 tune “White Mustang” is about the rapper. Years later, in 2020, G-Eazy apparently threw shade right back with his “Moana.” Oh, the drama!

Francesco Carrozzini
In July 2014, Del Rey was seen in Italy with photographer Francesco Carrozzini, the son of Vogue Italia’s late editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani. In her typical fashion, Del Rey never confirmed the relationship however they were seen together throughout the rest of 2014. In January 2015, the two were seen together on a romantic vacation in St. Barts over the holidays. In August 2015, the couple attended the wedding of Beatrice Borromeo and Pierre Casiraghi together. The pair were last spotted together in September 2015 and apparently called things off not too long after in November 2015.

Barrie-James O'Neill
Del Rey began dating Barrie-James O'Neill, a Scottish singer-songwriter and then-member of the band Kassidy, in 2011. The two also began a professional relationship, collaborating on music together at the same time.
They made their red carpet debut in November 2012 at the MTV Europe Music Awards. The couple recorded a cover of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s “Summer Wine” and its accompanying music video in April 2013. Around the same time, Del Rey was seen sporting a diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand, once again fueling engagement rumors for the singer. When it came time for Del Rey’s Paradise Tour, O’Neill’s band joined as the opener.
Sadly, by 2014, it would appear the couple had split, though O’Neill claims he was unaware of the breakup until his cousin directed him to a news story about it. Even so, it would appear the two are on good terms, with O’Neill even helping to pen several songs in 2021 for Del Rey’s album Blue Banisters.

Others
Del Rey has also been rumored to have had romances with James Franco in 2014, music promoter Andrei Gillott, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose and 30 Seconds to Mars drummer Shannon Leto. As Del Rey does not always confirm her romances publicly, it is impossible to know which of these, if any, are true. We do know Franco insisted the two were just friends when they were frequently photographed together around the time of their rumored romance.
