Dating a Celebrity: Is It Worth the Struggle?

Brianna LaPaglia, known online as Chickenfry, recently opened up about the challenges of dating a celebrity. Before her split with country singer Zach Bryan, she admitted that being involved with a famous person can take a toll on your mental health. During an episode of the “Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch” podcast, she shared her experiences and thoughts on the matter. LaPaglia explained that she never planned to date someone famous. She even made a promise to herself not to. But life has a way of surprising us, and she found herself in a relationship with Bryan. They met at the 2023 ACM Awards in Dallas, but their romance didn't start until she attended one of his concerts. After that, he sent her a direct message on Instagram.Their relationship was confirmed in July 2023, but it didn't last long. They announced their breakup on Tuesday, with Bryan sharing a statement on his Instagram Story. He mentioned having a tough year and thought it would be best for both of them to go their separate ways. LaPaglia, however, was taken aback by the announcement. She said she woke up to the news without any prior warning from Bryan. LaPaglia has been dealing with the emotional fallout. She revealed that she had been crying for days but wasn't ready to share the details of their split. A source close to the situation told Page Six that while the couple was very much in love, their relationship was always rocky due to Bryan's lifestyle. Dating a celebrity can be challenging, and LaPaglia's experiences highlight some of the struggles that come with it. The constant attention and scrutiny can be overwhelming, and handling online rumors can add to the stress.
