Brianna LaPaglia, known as Briana Chickenfry, is opening up about her emotional response to her recent breakup with country singer Zach Bryan. Following Zach’s Instagram announcement that they had split after more than a year of dating, Briana expressed her feelings of being blindsided and discarded in a heartfelt YouTube video.
“How can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then like be discarded?” she questioned, revealing the heartbreak she feels after investing so much love and support into their relationship. Briana emphasized the unconditional love she had for Zach, saying, “It’s really, really heartbreaking. You want to see the good in them and love them through everything, but it feels devastating to be treated like this.”
In her video, Briana also addressed her desire for privacy during this difficult time. “I wanted to heal privately, and I didn’t even know he was going to post that we broke up yesterday,” she explained. “I wasn’t ready to handle this publicly, and now I’m just getting bombarded with messages. I just need some space to deal with this as a human being.”
Zach first made their romance public in July 2023, but speculation about their relationship status intensified after allegations of an online dating profile attributed to him surfaced on social media. On October 22, Zach shared his heartfelt statement on Instagram, saying, “Bana and I have broken up with each other. I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart.”
He also acknowledged his personal struggles over the past year, stating, “I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways.” In his message, Zach asked fans for understanding, emphasizing, “I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Bana’s privacy and space in this.”
As both Briana and Zach navigate this challenging chapter, Briana’s candid reflections highlight the emotional toll of their breakup. She is focused on her healing process and is asking for respect and understanding from those around her during this time of transition
