Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry are officially over.
Bryan, 28, announced on his Instagram Stories that they had broken up after more than a year with a lengthy statement.
Just over 30 minutes after her statement, Brianna, whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia, seemed to allude to the breakup with her own message indicating that she was taking a break from social media after feeling “really blindsided.”
The announcement came a day after fans speculated that the duo had gone their separate ways after a Reddit user claimed to have seen Bryan on celebrity dating app Raya with photos of his alleged profile, as well as a message mysterious shared by Chickenfry.
The country singer, who began dating Brianna in July 2023, posted on his account on Tuesday: ‘Addressing something: Brianna and I have broken up (sic) and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a long time and for that I will always be grateful.’

“Personally, I’ve had an incredibly difficult year and I’ve had to overcome some pretty serious things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways. I am not perfect and I never will be.
“Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this, and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”
‘With everything I am and anyone I let down, I’m sorry. I do the best I can in everything. I failed the people who love me and mainly myself.’
About 30 minutes after Bryan posted his message, the Barstool Sports star posted his statement.
While she didn’t say anything about the split, she seemed to be alluding to her breakup with Zach, as she said she felt “really shocked” at the time.
‘Hey guys, I’m feeling really surprised right now. I’ll get off social media for a while and try to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll come back and be ready to talk.
‘I love you so much, thank you for all your kind words. Remember that you are very loved and that everything will always be okay.’
Confirmation of the split came amid fan speculation that the couple had gone their separate ways.
Bryan announced their split in a statement posted to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
Brianna alluded to the split with her own message saying she was feeling “really shocked” right now.
Speculation surrounding the duo sparked after Bryan was allegedly spotted on celebrity dating app Raya along with this handwritten note shared by Brianna on Instagram.
Speculation arose on Monday after a Reddit user shared snapshots of Bryan’s alleged Raya profile.
Additionally, Brianna posted a mysterious handwritten message that only added to the speculation.
“And eventually you will discover that life goes on, even if you don’t want it to,” the message said. ‘The days will pass and the world will move as you ask it to stop.
‘You’ll think life is cruel for moving forward while your feet are stuck.
‘You will find people and moments to blame for your cement feet.
The former couple has been dating since July 2023.
“Then there will come a morning when you will wake up and realize that things go on and that life is not cruel, your feet are.”
“The world keeps turning in the hope of showing you that you can do it too.”
She captioned the post with a hearts and hands emoji.
