Zach Bryan Breaks Up with His Girlfriend on Insta
Zach Bryan chose to use Insta Stories to break up with his longtime girlfriend Brianna this week, and the announcement “blindsided” her.
Zach said in his long Insta Stories message, “Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with each other, and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time, and for that, I’ll always thank her.”
He continued, “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. Please respect Brianna’s privacy space in this, and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”
Bryan ended by saying, “I am sorry. I try my best and everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.”

Brianna reacted to the news on her Insta Stories. She wrote, “Hey guys, I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Going to hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately when I’m ready to talk. I love you guys so much, and thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved, and everything’s always going to be OK.”
She also posted a video on her YouTube addressing the breakup from her bathroom floor. See that video below.
She said in part in the video, “I just woke up to the news on Instagram that Zach and I broke up. I have no idea, and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn’t text me. He didn’t call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts being like, ‘Are you OK?'”
Bryan is currently on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine along with rock icon Bruce Springsteen this month. The two sat for an interview together for Rolling Stone’s “Musicians on Musicians” series. “I never thought I’d be sitting here with you,” Bryan said.
Zach also talked about the fact that he never really wanted to be a country singer. He said, “I don’t want to be a country musician. Everyone calls me it. I want to be a songwriter, and you’re quintessentially a songwriter.”
Bryan added that he “hated” to use Springsteen‘s name in front of him, but he reiterated that no one calls Bruce Springsteen a “freaking rock musician.” Zach noted that Springsteen fits in a number of categories and hasn’t allowed himself to be boxed into one genre.
