Zach Bryan found his Oklahoma smokeshow.
One year after the “I Remember Everything” singer’s public breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, he shared that he and girlfriend Samantha Leonard tied the knot in Spain.
Alongside a snap of Bryan holding Leonard — dressed in a strapless white wedding gown with a glass of wine in her hand — he captioned the Dec. 31 Instagram post, “Tougher than the rest.”
Videos also circulated online of the 29-year-old carrying his now-wife into a green convertible with the banner “Just Married” laid on the trunk and cans attached to the bumper.
E! News has reached out to Bryan’s reps for comment and has not yet heard back.
Before the nuptials, he shared a photo of what appeared to be his groomsmen. Dressed in a tuxedo while posing with his equally dapper-looking friends, Bryan captioned the snapshot with lyrics from Black Eyed Peas‘ “I Got a Feeling.”
Leonard, 28, first sparked dating rumors with the “Pink Skies” singer when she posted a photo of them at Spain’s Running of the Bulls on Instagram in July. A month later, she shared a picture of them cozied up on a boat.

Ultimately, Bryan — who was previously married to Rose Madden from 2020 to 2021 — made their relationship Instagram official, posting a loving birthday message for his girlfriend in October.
“From bull runs to all the bulls***, today is your birthday and I love you Samantha Marie,” he captioned the Instagram tribute. “To the only woman who can hike six miles in Chanel flats, skydive over the alps and catch a bigger fish than me all in the same day.”
And it was quite the journey for Bryan to find love again. After all, he said he was facing “pretty severe” struggles when he announced his split from ex LaPaglia in October 2024.
“She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her,” he wrote on Instagram Stories at the time. “I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways.”
However, LaPaglia said she was “blindsided” by the news, alleging that she was never told about the split before Bryan’s social media post.
“I had no idea that post was going up,” she said in an October YouTube video. “He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me.”
And as the Barstool Sports employee’s inner circle rallied around her — with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards releasing a diss track aimed at her ex — Bryan eventually had to defend himself against “couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends.”
“No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me,” he wrote on Instagram Stories in January. “I can take all the hatred because I’m not a child. But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me.”
“I love my life,” he continued. “I have worked REALLY hard for it. Whether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends. We’re all humans.”
