2 Evan Winiker Is Not The First Musician Lana Del Rey Has Dated
Before to her romance with Evan Winiker, the “Summertime Sadness” singer was previously linked to musician Jack Donaghue. Lana Del Rey was rumored to be dating the Salem frontman in early 2022.
In December 2020, People reported that Del Rey was engaged to her rumored boyfriend at the time, Clayton Johnson, after she was seen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She also dated cop Sean “Sticks” Larkin, walking the 2020 Grammy red carpet with him.
Del Rey’s past rumored romantic interests include Scottish singer-songwriter Barrie-James O’Neill, whom she dated from 2011 until 2014. “It’s been a tenuous and tumultuous three years … He’s unwell and I’m unwell in some ways, and psychologically we’ve been through a lot together,” she explains.
She also dated Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini from 2014 until 2015 before enjoying a brief romance with rapper G-Eazy in 2017.
1 What Is Lana Del Rey’s Type?
Speaking in 2014, Lana Del Rey told Rolling Stone that she has “an affinity for really good, strong, self-assured people.”
The following year, the “Videogames” singer told Harper’s Bazaar that she likes “to come home and have someone there.”
“For someone like me – and it’s not a codependent thing – I just like having someone there. I’ve been alone, and that’s fine. But I like to come home and have someone there,” she told the outlet at the time.
She also told Rolling Stone in 2014 that she was looking forward to starting a family. “I hope that’s in my future. If I don’t f**k everything up. I don’t know.”
“I’ve … really thought about it lately because I’ve just turned 30,” the singer mused seven years ago. “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. Who isn’t exactly — like me! Though maybe it’s best to have kids with someone who’s … normal.”
Congratulations to the newly engaged couple!
