Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry are dunzo! And she’s completely “blindsided” by the way he’s handling it!
The country music star and the podcaster, whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia, have been drawing a LOT of attention online lately. You see, fans have been speculating about the status of their relationship after the Pink Skies singer was reportedly spotted being active recently on the celebrity dating app Raya. And that came despite publicly being in a relationship with Brianna for over a year. Then, Brianna added fuel to the fire on Monday when she posted a cryptic handwritten note on her Instagram feed AND Story. It read:
“And eventually you’ll find that life goes on, even if you don’t want it to. The days will pass and the world will move while you ask it to stop. You’ll believe life is cruel for continuing on while your feet are stuck. You’ll find people and moments to blame for your concrete feet. Then there will come a morning when you wake up and realize things go on, life isn’t cruel your feet are. The world keeps spinning in hopes of showing you that you can as well.”
Uhhhh, eerie, right? Kinda sounds like something you’d write after a breakup! Well guess what? They DID break up!

On Tuesday, Zach took to the photo-sharing app to officially announce the news in a lengthy Story post:
“Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with eachother 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 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. I am not perfect and will never be. 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.”

So THAT explains why he was on Raya, then, huh?? But we guess the news going public wasn’t exactly something Brianna was anticipating just quite yet, because she revealed in her own Story post she was “blindsided” by it. She wrote:
“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 your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be okay”
Whoa! We get wanting no contact after a breakup, but a text to give her a heads up would have been nice!
In a follow up Story post, she shared a link to a YouTube video where she talks more in depth about just how “blindsided” she truly was. She explained that he didn’t give her a heads up in any way prior to posting about it, and that she found out after waking up to a bunch of texts from friends asking if she was okay. Oof…
She also noted that she’s been “crying for five days straight,” and added:
“How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally — like, through stuff that you shouldn’t because you just love them and you see the good in them — how can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be discarded of in a few days? It’s really, really heartbreaking.”
Brianna noted that she doesn’t “want to talk about details right now,” either. But it sounds like something SERIOUS happened that she was willing to look past, but ended up getting dumped.
So, what’s going on?? She claimed that they just broke up on Monday, but that she’s also been crying for five days straight and loved him “through stuff” she shouldn’t have… Was there something sketchy going on with his presence on Raya??
