Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has no interest in getting rid of her matching tattoo with ex Zach Bryan.
The 25-year-old Barstools Media personality took to TikTok on Sunday to explain why she’s not removing her “How lucky are we?” tattoo, inspired by Bryan’s “28” song.
“One last thing,” she said while sitting in her car. “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. That is my tattoo. Now we’re matching, OK? I’m not getting it removed. It’s OK. This is mine. How lucky are we? That was me.”
It was previously rumored that “28” was written about LaPaglia — who is from Massachusetts — as Bryan sings, “How lucky are we? / It’s been a hell of a week and we’re all grown now / There’s smoke seepin’ out of the bar down the street / But we’re home somehow / You took a train to the south side of Boston / You showed me where your whole heart stayed / Took twenty-eight years of blood pumpin’ through me / To feel loved on my own birthday.”
However, the “Something In The Orange” singer shut down that speculation during a July interview with “American Songwriter,” saying he wrote the song about their dog, Boston.
“Boston, our puppy was going into surgery, and I told Brianna, ‘How lucky are we?’ to have had a puppy so beautiful, and she came out of it just fine,’” he recalled.
“I wrote it the next day because I felt like the luckiest man on the planet.”
LaPaglia and Bryan’s break-up came to light when the singer posted on Oct. 22 that they had called it quits after more than a year of dating.
The move caught LaPaglia off guard as she posted several hours later that she had been “blindsided” by the post and would take a break from social media to heal. She also took a break from her Barstool podcast, “BFFs,” which she co-hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.
However, during a Nov. 7 episode of the podcast, LaPaglia accused Bryan, 28, of emotional abuse.
She claimed she previously didn’t want to discuss their breakup because she worried about his reaction.
“My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad. And last week, I didn’t want to talk about it ’cause I was scared,” she said.
She went on to claim that he offered her $12 million to stay silent about their split — like he allegedly did with all of his exes — but she refused.
LaPaglia then talked about some of their nastiest fights, including Bryan getting mad over her Golden Globes dress, picking a fight at her birthday party and then again at a Super Bowl 2024 party.
Bryan has yet to address the abuse allegations.
