Rumoured new-bae no more, Sean Larkin and Lana Del Rey are finally Instagram official after being first spotted together on a date in September. Posting a snap of Larkin kissing the top of her head, Del Rey captioned the picture with a simple love heart and orange emoji.
So who is this silver fox and how did he sweep our resident sad girl off her feet? Let us commence a thorough investigation.
Who is Sean Larkin?
Larkin is a 46-year-old police officer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but he’s not just your average police officer – he’s also a reality star cop. That’s right, Larkin – whose nickname is Sticks - takes part in two reality shows about being a police officer in the US. Appearing in Live PD, he provides analysis as the show follows live patrols and legal encounters. He also hosts Live PD Presents: PD Cam, a spin-off show where he takes viewers through car chases and stand-offs.
‘He’s a good cop,’ Del Rey told the Los Angeles Times in September after the two were pictured together. ‘He gets it. He sees both sides of things.’
Naturally, he is also a social media influencer with over 200k followers on Instagram - a platform he uses to showcase his commitment to cross-fit and post regular behind-the-scenes shots of his life as a hot cop.
But that’s not all, he’s also working on a book about false accusations against police officers alongside Dan Abrams, a fellow host on Live PD. He reported it would be out ‘in the near future’ in September this year.
Alongside his flourishing reality career, Larkin also has two kids, the oldest of whom is 22-year-old Alyssa. So essentially, we can expect Del Rey’s next album to move on from the trials and tribulations of bad men to the experience of becoming a step-mum to two grown children - a brand pivot we expect to enjoy.
