The musician tied the knot just over a year after parting ways with his ex, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia
After a tumultuous year marked by a messy public breakup with BFFs podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and a tiff with Gavin Adcock, Zach Bryan is wrapping 2025 by tying the knot.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the musician married his now-wife Samantha Leonard during a private ceremony in San Sebastian, Spain. While their engagement was not previously announced, Bryan shared a Instagram photo on Tuesday of himself and what seemed like his groomsmen captioned alongside the lyrics to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas.
A short video posted by the outlet appears to show Bryan carrying Leonard, both wearing sunglasses, to a convertible decked with “Just Married” bunting and the happy couple driving away. A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The news arrives just over a year after Bryan confirmed his split from LaPaglia in October 2024, about a year after taking their relationship public and ending his previous relationship with Deb Peifer in May 2023. His breakup with LaPaglia soon took the internet by storm amid intense fan scrutiny online and during a BFFs episode, the podcaster accused the country singer of emotional abuse and alleged that he offered her $12 million to sign a non disclosure agreement. (Bryan has yet to comment directly on the accusations.)
Earlier this year, the singer was also involved in an altercation with Georgia country singer Gavin Adcock after Bryan scaled a fence at the Born & Raised Festival to confront Adcock.
In November, Bryan shared a candid update on his life and mental health, revealing that he’d been experiencing “earth-shattering panic attacks” and anxiety. To address these problems, Bryan said he stopped drinking and started going to therapy.
