Brianna LaPaglia Hints That Zach Bryan Picked Out Engagement Ring Before Their Split

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia appears to be sharing some more insight into her relationship with ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan.

The BFFs podcast host, 25, posted a TikTok on Friday, Nov. 15, in which she detailed her experience with a celebrity crush who slid into her DMs while she had a boyfriend — only for her to later discover that the boyfriend was cheating on her.

“Fun fact my biggest celeb crush tried to slide a few months ago but of course I denied bc I had a bf and I was getting cheated on the whole time hahhahahahahah,” LaPaglia captioned the video, in which she rapped along to Cardi B’s “Be Careful.”

While LaPaglia didn’t name Bryan, 28, in the post, fans are speculating in the comments that it’s about him — as LaPaglia and the country star had been dating for more than a year before Bryan confirmed their breakup in October 2024. The pair first took their relationship public in July 2023.

When asked by a commenter to clarify what she meant by “the whole time,” LaPaglia wrote, “Oh yes I find out more and more each day.” She elaborated further in another comment.

Responding to another follower, LaPaglia alluded to her ex-boyfriend presenting her with an engagement ring, writing: “Been finding out he was cheating the whole time lol. The week he showed me my engagement ring he was DMing girls hahahahha.”

A rep for Bryan did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday, Nov. 16.

As previously reported, LaPaglia alleged on the Nov. 7 episode of her podcast that Bryan was emotionally abusive while they were together and asked her to sign an NDA. During the BFFs episode, LaPaglia described the last year as “the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” and detailed the alleged abuse as a cycle of “build you up, beat you down, apologize over and over.”

Bryan has not commented on their relationship since announcing their breakup last month on social media. In the weeks since, he has remained active on Instagram and released two new singles, “High Road” and “This World’s a Giant.” A rep for Bryan has not commented on the allegations.

On a Nov. 13 episode of BFFs, LaPaglia said that “the response itself, the silence, is deafening” and alleged that Bryan’s “response proves his character again.”

Bryan confirmed their breakup on Oct. 22 via his Instagram Stories, calling it an “incredibly hard year personally” in which he “struggled through some pretty severe things.”

“I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways,” he wrote at the time. “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. 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.”
