Sun Jan 04 13:30:00 UTC 2026: Zach Bryan Marries Woman Resembling Ex, Sparks Online Frenzy
[City, State] – Country singer Zach Bryan confirmed on New Year’s Day that he is married to Samantha Leonard, ending months of speculation. However, the announcement ignited a social media firestorm due to Leonard’s striking resemblance to Bryan’s former girlfriend, Barstool Sports personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
The uncanny similarity hasn’t gone unnoticed, particularly by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, a known critic of Bryan. After TMZ reported the marriage and shared a photo of the couple, Portnoy reposted it on X, writing, “There ain’t no way that ain’t a Brianna robot. Ain’t no way.”
His followers largely agreed, with comments ranging from “It’s pretty weird” to more critical remarks, including a reference to LaPaglia’s past accusations of abuse during their breakup.
While some fans defended Bryan and criticized Portnoy’s “obsession,” the resemblance between Leonard and LaPaglia remains a hot topic online. Bryan and Leonard had fueled rumors of their nuptials with cryptic social media posts showing what appeared to be wedding rings.
