Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia recently opened up about the realities of dating someone famous just hours before news broke of her breakup with Zach Bryan.
LaPaglia, 25, spoke about her relationship with the 28-year-old country singer on the Talk Tuah podcast with Haliey Welch and revealed that she never wanted to date someone famous before she met Bryan.

“I said on the BFFs [podcast] that I would never date anyone famous ever,” she recalled. “Literally never wanted to and then it kinda just happened.” When asked what changed her mind when she got together with Bryan, LaPaglia bluntly responded, “Uh, I don’t know. I wish it … don’t date famous people.”
LaPaglia recalled how their relationship first came to be, noting that after going to one of his shows, she and her cohost Grace O’Malley made a podcast about it, and he slid into her DMs on Instagram. However, she continued to emphasize why people shouldn’t date someone in the public eye, telling Welch,
“I think it’s better for the mental to not date someone famous.”
Welch then inquired how LaPaglia dealt with the spotlight on their relationship and “all the rumors about him,” alluding to speculation about their breakup. LaPaglia explained,
“The Internet’s crazy, and they run with stuff, and I don’t ever defend myself online. So it kinda just spirals into like a snowball, because I think it’s stupid to feed into it. There’s new rumors every week so I’ve come to conclusion the Internet will believe like anything.”
On Oct. 22, Bryan confirmed on Instagram Stories that the couple officially broke up and asked for everyone to
“please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”
He explained,
“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 never will be.”
Shortly after his initial statement was posted, LaPaglia posted a statement on her own Instagram, noting that she was “feeling really blindsided.” She later addressed her split from Bryan in an emotional YouTube video, confirming they officially broke up on Oct. 21.

In the clip, LaPaglia said she was “completely blindsided” by Bryan’s decision to post the news of their separation.
“Do you see the swelling on my face? I’ve been crying for like five days straight,”
she admitted. She continued,
“I’m at the point where it’s like, 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 want them… like you see the good in them?”
LaPaglia concluded her video by asking viewers to “respect” her privacy at this time.
“When I’m ready to talk about everything that happened, I will, but right now I’m just completely blindsided.”
