“Just a couple in-laws and a baby,” Del Rey, 40, began the caption. “Thank you for sharing your birthday with me cancer queen Phoenix 🐦🔥 i’m still convinced I gotta be 50/50 Gemini tho, that would explain all three Lil vibes I got going on all the time.”
“so excited to see everybody starting tomorrow on tour and for all the folks joining us. Truly thank you thank you love you,” she concluded the post, which featured a picture of her holding two birthday cakes in a matching camo set.

She married the alligator tour guide in September 2024, weeks after going pubic with their relationship while attending model Karen Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster.
Del Rey is performing a limited number of shows this summer throughout the U.K., making stops in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin and London in late June and early July. The “West Coast” singer then heads to perform in Saint Charles, Mo., on Aug. 3.
The Grammy-nominated artist released two new country-inspired songs in April: “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird.”
She also has a new album in the works. Originally titled Lasso and then changed to The Right Person Will Stay, the project was supposed to come out in May but the release date was delayed.
“I’m really happy for this album to be moving along. I do have a lot more to say [about] that … I mean, you do know it’s not going to come on time right? Like… should I even tell you that the name changed again?” Del Rey said in a since-deleted Instagram Reel from April.
“Should I tell you that now, while you’re so happy you even have a song? Yeah… maybe I’ll wait.”

In October, she told PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly about taking her time with the album. “I think all the songs have been Americana, and I want to wait to see what the musical atmosphere feels like,” she said at the time. “‘Cause I don’t usually feel like I need a pause in the creation process, but if there’s a literal energetic pause that almost feels, like, physical, then I have to wait, and I don’t know why.”
