Zach Bryan and Samantha Leonard sparked engagement rumors

The couple first fueled engagement speculation when Bryan shared an Instagram Stories photo of Leonard lighting a firework. Fans noticed what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand.

Though usually private about their relationship, Leonard shared glimpses of their time together on August 21 with vacation photos on Instagram. One photo showed the couple hugging on a boat while holding a fishing rod and wearing swimsuits. Bryan commented “Spanish eyes” on the post.

Bryan and Leonard were first linked in July when Leonard posted photos of them at Spain’s Running of the Bulls. Before Leonard, the Grammy-winning singer was married to Rose Madden from 2020 to 2021.

In November 2024, LaPaglia accused Bryan of emotional abuse and claimed he offered her $12 million and a house to stay silent about their relationship. On the 'BFFs' podcast, she said, "You made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away. You get to go skip off and sing your little f------ songs on stage like you're a good dude … Sorry, I'm not them."

Bryan has not publicly responded but appeared to hint at the situation in an Instagram Stories post showing him burning a Barstool Sports flag, the media company behind LaPaglia’s podcast. Leonard keeps her personal and professional life private. Her Instagram bio notes she splits her time between Newport Beach, California, and New York City, and has worked as an influencer.
