Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia allegedly found Zach Bryan‘s Raya dating app before their breakup.
“[Brianna] was blindsided by Zach being on dating apps and dating around while they had been in a committed relationship,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Oct. 23, one day after the exes confirmed their breakup on social media. “Someone sent her Zach’s Raya profile and girls were reaching out about him dating around.”
According to the insider, the conversation between Zach and Brianna “did not go well,” adding that the two had “just moved in together in the Spring.”
“She changed her whole life to accommodate his,” the source revealed. “She’s devastated. He has denied all the allegations but still agreed they should split.”
ICYMI, Zach confirmed their breakup on his Instagram Stories on Oct. 22, over a year after the two first sparked dating rumors in June 2023.
“Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] 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,” the country singer wrote. “I have 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 our different ways.”
He continued, “I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”
Following his announcement, Brianna released her own statement and a YouTube video, saying she felt “blindsided” by his post.
“I’m probably not gonna post this for a little while, but I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up,” she said in the video, while sitting on her bathroom floor. “He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me.”
The Barstools podcast host also confirmed that they had broken up yesterday, and she wasn’t ready “to do anything publicly.”
“I wanted to just handle this as a human first and now, it’s not that,” she admitted. “So I’m just asking if you guys can please respect — Jesus, I look crazy — my privacy right now, and when I’m ready to talk about everything that happened, I will.”
