Zach Bryan is going through a tough time following his breakup with Brianna Chickenfry. The singer, known for his song “I Remember Everything,” announced the split from Chickenfry, whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia, on his Instagram story on Tuesday.
Bryan addressed the situation, saying, “Brianna and I 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.” He also shared that he has had a difficult year personally and thought it would be best for both of them to separate. He asked for privacy for both himself and LaPaglia during this time.
Shortly after, LaPaglia expressed her feelings on her Instagram, stating she felt “blindsided.” She mentioned that she would be taking a break from social media to heal privately and thanked her followers for their support. In a YouTube video, she revealed she had no prior knowledge of Bryan’s announcement and mentioned feeling hurt and emotional about the situation.
LaPaglia shared her confusion over the breakup, stating, “How can you give everything and love unconditionally and then be discarded in a few days?” She requested respect for her privacy and promised to update her fans when she could.
Prior to Bryan’s announcement, LaPaglia posted on Instagram, reflecting on moving forward in life despite challenges.
In May, the couple experienced a vehicle accident that Chickenfry described as “traumatizing.” Both had injuries, but fortunately, they were wearing seatbelts during the incident. They later celebrated Bryan’s Grammy nominations together earlier this year.
