Sounds like the honeymoon phase is still going strong.

It’s already been a big year for country music superstar Zach Bryan. Not only did Zach drop a brand new album, With Heaven On Top, today, but he also married his girlfriend Samantha Leonard in Spain over New Years, after months of speculation that they were engaged or even already married.

Bryan and Leonard’s relationship went public around August of 2025, and Zach actually fueled marriage rumors early on when he posted a video of he, Leonard and some friends paragliding in Europe. Fans quickly spotted a gold band on the singer’s ring finger, and interestingly enough, he deleted the video shortly after it was posted.

Then on New Year’s Eve, TMZ reported that Zach and Samantha had tied the knot, with the bride sharing photos of the wedding shortly after.

But it doesn’t seem like the newlyweds had much time to relax after the wedding, because just a few short days after becoming husband and wife, Zach dropped his much-anticipated new album, With Heaven on Top.

Zach first announced the 25-track album all the way back in July, and has since teased several tracks on the project like “Skin,” which appears to be a shot at his ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry, and the controversial “anti-ICE” song “Bad News.”

And while fans are still listening and trying to gather their thoughts on the project, it appears Zach’s wife couldn’t be more proud of her new husband.

Samantha took to Instagram today to share a video to her stories, praising Zach for the album while calling him “the kindest, most patient and attentive partner.”

“Easily the most hard working, dedicated and talented man I know – all while being the kindest, most patient, and attentive partner.

From writing and recording all day to stuffing envelopes with me at night, loving you is the greatest gift.

Congratulations my love. With Heaven on Top.”

Her words seem to be a not-so-subtle response to the shade that’s been thrown at Zach by his ex-girlfriend Chickenfry over the past year or so. Brianna has been outspoken about what she says is abusive behavior that she endured while the two were together, and even says that he offered her $12 million to sign an NDA to keep her from speaking badly about him and his behavior.

Zach and Samantha have largely stayed out of the conversation, though he did take a shot at her over the summer by burning a flag of her employer, Barstool Sports. And after Brianna said that Zach writes his songs “black out at 6 AM,” Zach acknowledged her comment in a sarcastic response to a fan on TikTok:

He also said back in November that he was two months sober, admitting that he had a “toxic” relationship with alcohol and saying that he wanted to prioritize the happiness of both himself and his now-wife:

“I went out of my way to find a therapist and made the conscious decision to do something about my toxic relationship with booze and how I cope with major life changes. 

I haven’t touched alcohol for nearly two months now- something I had to do for my own personal clarity. I needed to see the world objectively. My family supported every step I took. Conversations about the future, kids one day, my health and Sammy’s happiness made me prioritize not only myself, but my entire family.

I feel great, I feel content, I feel whole. There is nothing to get me by anymore. If you or any of your friends are too tough, too scared, or too stubborn to reach out, know that the most stubborn dumba** on the planet did and didn’t regret it.”

It sounds like things are going well for the couple…and Samantha is clearly proud of her now-husband.
