Zach Bryan announced on his Instagram stories on Tuesday (October 22) that he and his former girlfriend, Brianna LaPaglia (known on social media as Brianna Chickenfry) have split up. “Brianna and me have broken up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” Byran wrote. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.” The country superstar admitted that he has “had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things,” and he feels that “it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways.” Brianna responded to the breakup announcement with her own Instagram story, saying she is “really feeling blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for awhile and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk.” (Billboard)
