Zach Bryan And Brianna “Kip” LaPaglia were together for just over a year before their relationship took a shocking turn.
In October 2024, Bryan posted a statement on social media revealing that he and LaPaglia had split. (The couple made their relationship public in July 2023.)
“I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a long time and I will always thank her for that,” Bryan wrote via Instagram. “I personally have had an incredibly difficult year and have struggled through some pretty serious things. I thought it would be helpful for both of us to date in different ways. I am not perfect and never will be.”
For her part, LaPaglia stated in an Instagram story of her own that she was “blindsided” by their breakup. The Barstool Sports personality quickly uploaded a YouTube video in which she further discussed the breakup — and asked for privacy as she navigated her new normal.
“I’ve been crying for five days straight,” LaPaglia said through tears. “I’m at the point where it’s like, how can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally because of things you shouldn’t do.”
The podcast host said she wanted to “heal privately” and Bryan didn’t warn her about Instagram’s breakup announcement. “I wasn’t ready to do anything publicly,” she added. ‘I’ll be fine. I’m doing well. I’m obviously very hurt right now.”
Prior to their split, the couple seemed to have a strong romance that included consistent, equal support. Keep scrolling for a look at Bryan and LaPaglia’s strongest moments from their relationship:
