Zach Bryan announces split from girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia

10:10 a.m. PT — Brianna La Paglia responded to the breakup news, saying she felt “really blindsided” and was quitting social media while she privately tried to recover.

She thanked everyone for their kind words and said she will come back when she is ready to talk.

Zach Bryan has confirmed his relationship with the podcaster Brianna La Paglia is over… announcing his new relationship status on social media.

Amid ongoing rumors about the couple, Zach posted on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday his decision to end things with the Barstool Sports personality (aka Brianna Chickenfry).

In a message to his fans, Zach noted that he still has “respect and love” for Brianna despite their decision to split.

He continued… “She loved me unconditionally for a very long time and I will always thank her for that. Personally, I’ve had an incredibly tough year and have had to fight through some pretty bad things.”

According to the country singer, his difficult year decided that it would be “beneficial for both of us to go down different paths.”

He added… “I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this matter and if you have her in your heart, mine as well.”

Before signing his note, he apologized to anyone he may have let down…implying that he had let down “people who love me” and himself.

Speculation about a breakup arose after Zach was reportedly spotted being active on a dating app. Brianna fueled the chatter even further when she posted a cryptic note on Instagram on Monday in which she wrote about life after hardship.

She wrote… “The world keeps turning in hopes of showing you that you can too.”

Zach and Brianna began dating in the summer of 2023 … and celebrated their one-year anniversary in July. At the time, Brianna declared Zach her “forever person” and noted that there’s “nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”
