Bryan’s ex-girlfriend is a very successful podcast host and content creator for the media monster, Barstool Sports. She hosts a podcast with Grace O’Malley called Plan Bri: Uncut and also a show with Barstool’s founder Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards called BFFs.
According to LaPaglia, shortly after the private breakup, Zach Bryan posted an Instagram story that explained that the two had parted ways, without talking to her about the post. Then from there, as you might imagine as someone in the public eye, everyone was talking.
Here’s her initial response to the Zach Bryan breakup after Bryan posted about it publicly.

According to LaPaglia on the BFFs podcast, she outlined that she was offered $12 million to sign an non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to not disclose details of their relationship and the Zach Bryan breakup. She denied that offer citing that “I would have had to sign all of my experiences, everything that I am, away to this person. They would have been monitoring everything that I do.”
