Country music singer and songwriter Zach Bryan’s profile was reportedly seen on the celebrity dating app Raya a day before he announced his split from girlfriend and Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia on October 22. The screenshots of Zach’s alleged Raya profile have now gone viral on social media platforms including Reddit and TikTok.
One showed Bryan’s picture holding a pair of clothes in what appeared to be a studio set-up during the night. The other had him lying on the grass in broad daylight with his eyes covered by a baseball cap. Both had the description:
“Zach, 28, Songwriter. @zachlanebryan, Tulsa, OK.”
Trending
Fans have reacted strongly to claims that Zach Bryan cheated on Brianna LaPaglia, with many criticizing him for using a dating app after their recent breakup. Reddit user @ohiolifesucks commented on @littlelife_90’s post on the @r/Fauxmoi community page which had the country artist’s alleged Raya profile screenshots.
“Had to Google what Raya is. This moron went to a celebrity dating app and didn’t think he’d get caught?” the Redditor asked.
Several others joined the conversation on the social media platform X and shared similar reactions.
“Zach Bryan hopping on Raya the SECOND him and Briana broke up is insane work,” a fan wrote.
“Zach Bryan on Raya 24hrs (if that) after his breakup is crazyyyy,” one fan wrote.
“Zach Bryan joining Raya right after breaking up with Brianna is madness and I have no one to talk to about it,” wrote another.
Others continued to take a hit at the singer and pointed out that he allegedly has a history of infidelity.
“Gotta laugh at Zach Bryan. He cheats and then breaks up with all these broads. Then he writes sad songs and makes us feel bad for him. It is genius. But that being said, I tried to tell yinz he sucks, musically and humanly,” a netizen wrote.
“Now listen. I’m not a ZB hater, but as someone who has been Team Deb this whole time, after watching Bri’s video and seeing he was apparently back on Raya in under 24 hours, we are simply reminded that men ain’t SH*T,” one netizen wrote.
“Zach Bryan is living proof that openly & mindlessly disrespecting & causing women pain can really affect your career, life, how others view you & no matter how successful you are you can’t fake integrity & character,” wrote another.
Here are some more comments against the Grammy winner.
“The most insane thing about Zach Bryan is how much he cares about what the public thinks while equally having absolutely no gauge of what the public will think before he does something. Being on Raya less than 24 hours after the breakup? Like that wouldn't be posted IMMEDIATELY?” a person asked.
“For Zach Bryan singing about being this old soul who feels the world is too fast-paced, he sure ran to that dating website with urgency,” another person wrote.
Amid the ongoing drama, Zach deleted his socials temporarily before reactivating them.
Exploring Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia’s split
On Tuesday, Zach Bryan took to his Instagram Story and announced his split from girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia. He mentioned that they have “broken up” but he continued to have “respect” and “love” for her with “every ounce” of his heart.
“She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her. I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be,” the musician wrote.
The 28-year-old further asked the fans to “respect” the 25-year-old Brianna’s “privacy and space” and his too, and apologized to anyone whom he “let down.” He wrapped up by writing how he tried his “best in everything” but often “failed” himself as well as people who loved him.
In the wake of this now-viral announcement, Brianna LaPaglia too hopped on to her Instagram Story and wrote how she was feeling “blindsided” by her ex’s post and needed to stay away from social media for a while to “heal privately.”
She added how she’ll be back to “talk” about it when she’s “ready” and sent her love and gratitude to her followers for their support. The internet personality also posted a hand-written poem on Instagram which read, “And eventually you’ll find life goes on, even if you don’t want it to…”
Subsequently, Brianna posted a video on her YouTube channel (@Plan Bri Uncut) titled, “Love you guys, I’ll be back soon” where she explained how she “woke” up to Bryan’s post and several texts from her fans asking her if she was “okay,” while having no idea that Zach was going to announce their split publicly.
LaPaglia also mentioned how she had been “crying for five days straight” and was spending a lot of time in her bathroom wearing her “crazy lady robe,” trying to cope with the breakup.
For those unaware, Zach and Brianna began dating in July 2023 and lived together with their dog Boston at the former’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. They even walked the red carpet together at this year’s Grammy Awards in February.
Around the same time, a woman named Brooke Almond publicly accused the I Remember Everything crooner of cheating on LaPaglia with her. However, Brianna defended her boyfriend immediately clarifying that Almond and Bryan “hooked up” before they “got together.”
Notably, Zach Bryan began dating the Barstool Sports influencer less than two months after breaking up with Deb Peifer, his girlfriend of one year. Before that, Bryan, who is a US Navy veteran himself was married to a fellow vet Rose Madden from 2020 to 2021.
