Lana Del Rey has insisted she is currently single after it was reported earlier this year that she was engaged to talent agency managing partner Evan Winiker.
Speaking to Harper’s BAZAAR’s Dec/Jan Art Issue Lana, 37, told how she ‘definitely isn’t in love’ at the moment, as she confirmed her single status.
Her words may come as a shock to fans, after it was claimed in March that Lana was set to wed Evan, 40, when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring.
However it seems Lana and Evan have now gone their separate ways, with Lana referencing a recent break-up during the conversation.
When asked about being in love, Lana said: ‘I’m definitely not in love right now. No,’ she says firmly, smiling. ‘Absolutely not in love. Have been, but no.’

When asked if it is something she wants, Lana said: ‘Well, I’ll tell you. It hasn’t crossed my mind in the last five months on the road or here yet. But give it a week. My history, sure, it’s coming for me at some point. Yeah. It would be interesting if it didn’t. It would be interesting if it didn’t.’
Lana said she hopes to decide where she wants to be in the world before focusing on finding a partner.
She said: ‘I think I would have to get my orientation toward where I want to be geographically stronger in my solar plexus, like a knowingness there, before I could tune into a stronger desire romantically.
‘Because if you don’t feel a connection necessarily to the pavement you’re walking on, the love thing stays over there,’ she says, waving out toward a world beyond her yard.’
While Lana did not name the ex-boyfriend, she went on to say that a recent relationship of hers ended because of her ‘modest’ Los Angeles home.
She said: ‘I feel like even the most chill guy doesn’t really want to chill here. Sadly, part of you knows … that ain’t it.… That one shocked me.
‘I won’t name names and whatever, but that one really shocked me, that person. That was actually the end of a relationship.’
Lana’s relationship with Evan reportedly began a few months before the romance was confirmed and she debuted a beautiful diamond sparkler on March 1 when she attended the Billboard Women In Music Awards.

The Grammy-nominated singer’s ex is the managing partner of Range Media, managing a stable of talent that includes Disco Biscuits, MAX and Daya.
A musician himself, Evan is close with fellow Steel Train bandmate Jack Antonoff, who frequently collaborates with Del Rey and worked on her new album Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
The Summertime Sadness singer was last linked to musician Jack Donaghue, 33, who is a member of the electronic band Salem.
Lana and Jack were said to be seeing each other since early 2022, but she remained silent on the relationship and the exact time of their breakup remains unclear.
Prior to her fling with Donaghue, the superstar was in a relationship with Country singer Clayton Johnson, 34.
The pair allegedly met on a dating app in 2020 and were rumored to be engaged later that year before going their separate ways – a breakup that was never addressed by Del Rey.
The singer’s relationship history also includes Scottish singer-songwriter Barrie-James O’Neill (2011-2014), Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini (2014-2015), a brief relationship with the rapper G-Eazy in 2017, and a whirlwind romance with real-life cop Sean ‘Sticks’ Larkin (2019-2020).

Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2014, the hitmaker said that she has ‘an affinity for really good, strong, self-assured people.’
And the Born to Die singer loves being in a relationship, telling 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.’
In her Harper’s Bazaar interview, Lana recalled one of her first relationships when she was a 16-year-old teenager growing up in New York.
‘I remember when I was 16, I had a boyfriend. I think he was…25? I thought that was the best thing. He had an F-150 pickup and let me drive it one time.
‘I was so high up! I panicked and was worried I might kill someone—run over a nun or something. I started to shake. I was screaming and crying. I saw him looking over, and he was smiling.
‘He said, ‘I love that you’re out of control.’ He saw how vulnerable I was, how afraid, and he loved that. The balance shifted from there. I had the upper hand—until then.’
