Zach Bryan and Samantha Leonard have seemingly tied the knot, based on video footage uploaded on New Year’s Eve (Wednesday, Dec. 31) that appears to show the couple in wedding attire, in a car announcing them as “just married.”

Billboard reached out to a representative for Bryan for comment.
Bryan’s rep has not responded as of press time Wednesday evening, and the musician has not confirmed the wedding news himself on social media.
But the video circulating online shows Bryan and Leonard in what looks to be newlywed mode, in a tux and bridal gown. In the clip — first posted by celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi on Instagram, before being picked up by media outlets including People — a sunglasses-wearing Bryan is seen carrying his apparent bride to a convertible, in which they drive off together down a cobblestone road. The vehicle is adorned with a “just married” banner.
Furthering speculation, Bryan posted a photo on Instagram just a day prior that resembles a groomsmen group pose — captioned with lyrics from the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” The 2009 hit is a popular song choice for special occasions like weddings.
“Tonight’s the night, let’s live it up (I feel)/ I got my money, let’s spend it up/ Go out and smash it, like, ‘Oh my God!’/ Jump off that sofa, let’s kick it off (I feel),” he wrote.
The pair were first publicly spotted together in social media snapshots during summer 2025, but have remained mostly private about their relationship.
The country hitmaker was previously married once, to Rose Madden, from 2020 to 2021.
Prior to Bryan’s relationship with Leonard, he’d publicly dated podcaster Brianna LaPaglia; they split in 2024. Bryan and LaPaglia made headlines in the messy aftermath of the breakup, with LaPaglia accusing the musician of emotional abuse and the two trading back-and-forth barbs on social media.
Bryan had the third-highest grossing country tour of 2025, according to Boxscore, with his Quittin’ Time Tour grossing $159.6M and selling 941,000 tickets. He’s shared plans to return to the road in 2026, citing “popular demand and some life changes as of late,” on a trek he’s named With Heaven On Tour.
His next album, With Heaven on Top, arrives Jan. 9.
It’ll be the followup to 2024’s The Great American Bar Scene, which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and reached No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200. In 2024 Bryan became a Grammy winner for “I Remember Everything,” his Hot 100 No. 1 with Kacey Musgraves.
