Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia says she wants to ‘be a single mom’ after Zach Bryan split

Single mom life? No problem.

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia says she would like to raise her future kids by herself following her tumultuous breakup from Zach Bryan.

The Barstool Sports personality brought up the topic of children while interviewing Josh Peck on Wednesday’s episode of her “BFFs” podcast with co-host Josh Richards.

“I want to be a single mom,” she declared.

Both Peck and Richards appeared shocked, and Peck –– who was raised by a single mom –– warned her that it can be “hard.”

LaPaglia clarified, “I want to have a good job and enough money to be a single mom. I just don’t want to have to worry about a guy, like, raising the kids.”

The Sports Illustrated digital cover model, 25, admitted that she knows “it’s a little weird,” but both Peck and Richards understood what she was saying.

“If you pulled the trigger on that today, you’d be set up,” Peck, 38, pointed out.

LaPaglia agreed that she’d be financially stable for “a little bit,” but she wouldn’t want her career to go “down” and then be responsible for kids.

The TikToker previously alluded to her interest in being single when telling Page Six at the 2025 Golden Globes that she’s leaving “all men” and “relationships” behind this year.

“2025: the year of being single. I haven’t done it in a long time,” she told us earlier this month. “I want to surround myself with good people, I want to be a good person. I just wanna, like, have a good aura in 2025.”

LaPaglia’s love life was thrust into the spotlight last year after Bryan, 28, announced that they had broken up via a cryptic Instagram post in October.

The podcast host claimed via Instagram at the time that she was “blindsided” by the country singer’s post. She later posted a video of herself crying, alleging she was completely unaware that Bryan would be publicly sharing the news.

LaPaglia later released a bombshell episode of “BFFs” where she claimed Bryan offered her $12 million to stay silent, but she turned down the NDA so she could discuss his alleged emotional abuse.

She accused Bryan of making her turn down jobs, “ruining” her night at the 2024 Golden Globes when he didn’t approve of her outfit, begging her to quit Barstool Sports and making her friends cry, among other allegations.

The “Pink Skies” singer has yet to respond to any of LaPaglia’s claims.
