Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has no problem sharing a tattoo with her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan — because it was all hers first.
“I see a lot of people being like, ‘Well now I have to get my ‘how lucky are we’ tattoo removed.’ That was my thing,” LaPaglia, 25, said in a Saturday, November 9, TikTok video. “That’s my tattoo. Now, we’re matching.”
She added, “Don’t get it removed. It’s OK. This is mine. ‘How lucky are we?’ That’s me.”
The Barstool Sports podcaster has the phrase “How lucky are we?” inked on her arm. Bryan, 28, later debuted a matching one.

“After that weekend [where he road-tripped to Oklahoma] we spent three days together, I think two or three days later, he got me tattooed on his arm,” LaPaglia said during the most recent episode of her “BFFs” podcast, claiming that she and the country singer weren’t officially together when he got the ink added.
She added, “He manipulated the “f— out of me. I truly thought he was this great dude because in the first four months of our relationship, he was. That’s who he showed me. I fell in love with this person that doesn’t exist.”
Bryan confirmed last month that he and LaPaglia had ended their year-long relationship.
“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,” Bryan wrote in an Instagram Story statement in October. “I’ve 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. I am not perfect and never will be.”

LaPaglia, who said that she was blindsided by Bryan’s decision to break up, later alleged on her “BFFs” podcast that he attempted to pay her $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement. LaPaglia refused.
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” she said on the Thursday, November 7, podcast episode. “I’m still scared right now because I’m scared of him still. My brain’s rewired. I’m scared to make him mad.”
While LaPaglia is keeping her tattoo, she’s less committed to her brunette hair color.
“As much as I actually truly do love the brown, there’s a lot and my dark hair reminds me of dark times,” she said in a Sunday, November 10, TikTok video. “I wanna go back lighter. I want to look in the mirror and be reminded of a strong person. I’m getting my hair done in an empowering way, not a ‘I’m spiraling’ way.”
