Brianna Chickenfry Says Zach Bryan’s Marriage Was “All a Dig at Me”

The post-breakup drama between Brianna Chickenfry and Zach Bryan is not slowing down.

During a February 17 appearance on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, Brianna LaPaglia, better known as Brianna Chickenfry, made headlines again after claiming her ex-boyfriend’s new relationship and even his wedding were motivated by spite.

“All of it was a dig at me,” she said. “It’s so apparent and obvious.”

LaPaglia and Bryan publicly announced their split in October 2024 via his Instagram Story, ending a relationship that had played out heavily in the spotlight. Shortly after the breakup, LaPaglia addressed it on her BFFs podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, accusing Bryan of emotional manipulation and cheating. She also claimed he offered her 12 million dollars to sign a nondisclosure agreement following the split. On Impaulsive, she added that the agreement would have included restrictions, such as a ban on social media, which she says led her to decline it.

Since then, both have moved on publicly. Zach Bryan released his January 2026 album With Heaven On Top, and fans have speculated that the track “Skin” references LaPaglia due to lyrics that appear to nod to shared tattoos and past intimacy. Bryan has not confirmed any inspiration behind the song.

The latest wave of headlines centers on Bryan’s marriage to Samantha Leonard. Zach Bryan and Samantha Leonard quietly married in San Sebastián, Spain, on December 31, 2025. The couple had first been publicly linked in July 2025 during Spain’s Running of the Bulls festival, and Bryan confirmed the relationship that October with a birthday post. Wedding photos later surfaced on Instagram, captioned “Tougher than the rest,” along with a video of the pair driving off in a car decorated with a “Just Married” sign.

Online, fans quickly pointed out what they described as a strong physical resemblance between Leonard and LaPaglia. Side-by-side photos spread across TikTok and Instagram, fueling speculation and commentary.

When asked about the similarities on Impaulsive, LaPaglia did not dismiss the comparisons.

“But no one before me ever looked like me. Let’s just be real,” she said. “I don’t know if you guys know anything about narcissists, but this is what they do. His whole entire literal wedding, all of that was a dig at me. It’s so apparent and obvious.”

Majlak then asked whether she genuinely believed Bryan married Leonard to get back at her. LaPaglia reacted in a way that suggested she stood by her view, but she clarified her statement moments later.

“I’m not saying married,” she said. “But I’m telling you, dating her was to get at me.”

She pushed back on the idea that Bryan simply has a physical type, noting that she does not believe his previous partners resembled her in the same way. LaPaglia has previously addressed the look-alike narrative on her Plan Bri Uncut podcast, even joking that she considered dyeing her hair to separate herself from the comparisons.

As of now, Bryan has not addressed LaPaglia’s latest claims. He has continued focusing on touring and promoting new music, while Leonard has also remained silent on the controversy.

The situation underscores how celebrity relationships can continue to generate headlines long after they end. LaPaglia has maintained that speaking publicly about her experience is part of her processing, while Bryan has chosen not to engage directly.

Whether Bryan’s relationship with Leonard began as retaliation or simply as a new chapter is something only those involved truly know. For now, the podcast clips are circulating widely, and the conversation shows no signs of fading.
