Zak began dating Brianna, also known by her online name Brianna «Chickenfry» LaPalia, in July 2023. Brianna is a social media star who went viral on Vine and TikTok. She also hosts the podcasts Plan Bri Uncut and BFFs.
Although the singer and podcaster «Something in the Orange» had been dating since July 2023 until confirming their breakup in October 2024, Brianna revealed in a blog post that they met at the Academy of Country Music Awards ceremony in May 2023. «All I want is to meet Zak Bryan», - she said at the beginning of the video. She described meeting him and later called him «the kindest person I’ve ever met in my life».
After the ACM ceremony, Brianna shared that she attended Zak’s concert in New York with her then-boyfriend, and they went on stage during the concert. After the show, she mentioned that she recorded a podcast, mentioning him, and he messaged her privately to thank her for it on her BFFs podcast. In July, she said they spent time together and it was «fun» and «casual» on Plan Bri Uncut.
In August, the podcaster shared that she and Zak were dating on the BFFs podcast. Barstool owner Dave Portnoy «grilled» her on the podcast, giving her a hard time as she hadn’t publicly announced it on their show. When she clarified the timeline of their relationship, she said the first time they really spent time together, they took an 18-hour car trip and talked the whole time. «He's the kindest, most genuine person I’ve ever met. He’s so down to earth», - she said. «This guy is truly amazing».
When Zak released his self-titled album, fans were looking for signs of Brianna, and her podcasters said she was there when he recorded one of the songs. In the background of his song «Smaller Acts», her laughter could be heard, which apparently was recorded as a voice message on the track. Although she neither confirmed nor denied that it was her laughter, Brianna said the song wasn’t about her. «He recorded it on his phone», - she said on the podcast. «It's not about me. I was just there when he recorded it».
On October 22, 2024, their relationship ended. He wrote on his Instagram Stories: «I've had an incredibly tough year personally and I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious stuff. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways». Zak added: «I'm not perfect and I never will be. Please respect Brianna’s personal space and privacy in this and, if you have it in your heart, mine too».
In response to his message, Brianna expressed in her Instagram Stories that she feels «blindsided». She wrote: «I'm going to step away from social media for a while and try to heal privately when I’m ready»
