Brianna Chickenfry Discusses the Struggles of Dating Celebrities Before Zach Bryan Split
Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia recently opened up about the toll that dating a celebrity can take on mental health, just days before her split from country singer Zach Bryan was made public. During her appearance on the "Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch" podcast, LaPaglia admitted that being romantically involved with a high-profile figure is “a lot” to handle, particularly when it comes to maintaining a sense of personal well-being. She expressed that it’s often better for one’s mental health to avoid dating someone famous.
In the candid interview, LaPaglia revealed that she had previously vowed to never date a celebrity, saying she “literally never wanted to.” However, life had other plans when she met Zach Bryan at the 2023 ACM Awards, which eventually led to their romantic involvement. Despite her initial hesitation, the relationship blossomed, but LaPaglia admitted it came with its fair share of challenges, including the constant scrutiny from the internet.

As a public figure herself, LaPaglia explained how difficult it is to escape online rumors, adding that she refuses to defend herself against every piece of speculation. According to her, this only leads to a “snowball” effect, where rumors spiral out of control. “The internet is crazy,” she said, “and they run with stuff.”
Despite trying to navigate these pressures, their relationship came to an end. Zach Bryan confirmed their breakup through an Instagram Story, in which he mentioned that he had faced “an incredibly hard year” and thought it best for both of them to part ways. His message was filled with respect for LaPaglia, and he requested privacy during this difficult time. However, LaPaglia revealed that she was “blindsided” by his announcement, claiming she found out about the breakup only after seeing Bryan’s post. In an emotional YouTube video, she shared that she had been crying for days and wasn’t ready to dive into the full details of what led to their split.
While the breakup was unexpected for LaPaglia, a source indicated that their relationship had always been a bit “rocky,” largely due to Bryan’s demanding lifestyle as a rising country music star. Though the couple confirmed their romance publicly in July 2023, they couldn’t withstand the pressures that come with such high visibility, both professionally and personally.
Both Bryan and LaPaglia have expressed their mutual respect for one another, and while LaPaglia says she needs time to heal, it’s clear that dating in the spotlight brings unique struggles that can deeply impact one’s mental health. Whether or not LaPaglia will share more about the breakup remains to be seen, but for now, she’s choosing to step away from social media to focus on herself.
