In a heartfelt speech at the Variety Hitmakers Brunch on December 7, she shared how Antonoff's example in his marriage to Margaret Qualley convinced her to take the plunge herself. Del Rey spoke of seeing the way Antonoff looked at his wife when they met and how it inspired her to wait for the right person and eventually meet her amazing husband, Jeremy Dufrene. She also mentioned feeling under a "singer's curse" around meeting an honest partner but credited Antonoff with helping her break that curse.
