Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry have officially split-up – with drama on both sides quickly escalating via social media.
Country star Zach, 28, first announced on his Instagram Stories they had parted ways after more than one year together with a lengthy statement.
The announcement came one day after fans speculated the duo had gone their separate ways after a Reddit user claimed to have seen Zach on the celebrity dating app Raya with photos of his alleged profile, in addition to a mysterious message shared by Chickenfry.
Just over 30 minutes after his statement, Brianna, 25 – whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia – alluded to the break-up with her own message stating she was going to be taking a social media break after feeling ‘really blindsided.’
The country singer, who began dating Brianna in July 2023, posted to his account on Tuesday: ‘Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with eachother (sic) and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.’

‘I’ve had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go out different ways. I am not perfect and never will be,’ he continued in his statement.
‘Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.’
‘With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.’
Around 30 minutes after Zach posted his message, the Barstool Sports star posted her statement.
While she did not say anything about the split, she appeared to be alluding to her break-up with Zach as she said she was feeling ‘really blindsided’ at the moment.
‘Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk.
‘I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be OK.’
