If you’ve been following all the hot drama in the celebrity dating world, then you know that Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry (LaPaglia) recently broke up. So far, there’s been a lot of hot mess following the breakup, from rumors of Bryan being on the dating app Raya to LaPaglia saying she felt “blindsided” by the news of his breakup.

In a YouTube video posted to LaPaglia’s channel, Plan Bri Uncut, she explained how Bryan failed to keep in touch with her and was not informed that they were announcing their breakup. The two decided to split on October 21, a day before Bryan announced the split on his Instagram Story. Many believe that Bryan had cheated on LaPaglia during their relationship, as his profile was found on Raya and screenshots of him communicating with other girls.

So, how long did Bryan and Chickenfry stay together before ending their relationship? The two only dated for a year and started their relationship casually and flirtatiously, like most couples. Things didn’t get serious until July 2023, after he passed the DM stage. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s take a closer look at the former couple’s relationship.
