Brianna LaPaglia and Zach Bryan were in a relationship for almost 15 months, from July 2023 to October 2024. On a recent episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, she opened up about her relationship with the Pink Skies singer. She felt she had lost her identity and hoped to teach herself about who she is. LaPaglia also said:

“Over the past couple years, I wasn't allowed to be me. From what I've experienced, I think women get steamrolled a lot, and they get put in corners, I used to be very strong. I don't want to give anyone power over me. I really want to take control, and if I make it, it's because I did it.”

She said she met her former partner on social media. However, unlike how people are alert about red flags in a person, she said she overlooked certain traits about that person. Speaking about him, Brianna LaPaglia said:

“My ex is a super musician. He was awful towards me. He got famous on TikTok and thinks he's God.”

The BFF podcast co-host mentioned that her ex tried to give her money to silence her. She prided herself on warning others to steer clear of certain people, yet she couldn’t fathom how she had ended up entangled in one of those very relationships. In a confession, Brianna LaPaglia said:

“The people that followed me through this relationship watched me turn into just like a shell of a human. I just couldn't let someone control how I feel and how I act anymore. In me not taking that money, I took control of myself back.”

What did Zach Bryan say when he and Brianna LaPaglia parted ways?

Sharing the news of their split on Instagram, Zach Bryan wrote in October 2024 that he and Brianna LaPaglia had ended their relationship, but he still cared deeply for her. He shared that she had loved him without conditions for a long time, and he would always be thankful for that. Bryan wrote:

“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. Please respect Brianna's privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”

The post went on:

“With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.”

During a conversation on the Casual Chaos podcast earlier this year, Brianna LaPaglia shared that she had started to lose her true self and her usual free spirit. She said she had become quieter and less outgoing than before.

She noticed that she began to worry about what she said and how others saw her, which was not like her at all. Eventually, she realized she had changed into someone she didn’t recognize and understood that another person could have power over you without you even noticing it.
