Zach Bryan got emotional at the altar in new photos from his whirlwind wedding to Samantha Leonard.
The bride shared photos from last monthâs ceremony in Spain via Instagram on Friday, including the moment the country singer wiped away tears.
The Grammy winner, 29, and Leonard, 28, stood in front of their guests, surrounded by flowers, as they said their vows in an ornate church.
âforever xx,â Leonard wrote alongside the carousel, which also featured a portrait of herself and Bryan smiling side-by-side.
News broke on New Yearâs Eve that she and Bryan had walked down the aisle, five months after going public.
The groom confirmed the news in an Instagram post captioned, âtougher than the rest.â
On Monday, he admitted to crying âa good bitâ when Leonard honored his late mother with her wedding dress.
âSamantha went out of her way to put my momâs wedding dress lace on her dress,â Bryan wrote on his Story. âMeant so much sweetheart, thank you.â
The pairâs nuptials came weeks after Bryan revealed his sobriety.
In a lengthy November 2025 statement, Bryan wrote that he stopped drinking after experiencing âperpetual discontentâ and âearth-shattering panic attacks.â
One of his motivations for getting sober was âSammyâs happiness.â
While not much is known about Leonard, she is a California native currently pursuing a Master of Architecture degree at the University of Southern California.
Before dating Leonard, Bryan was briefly linked to Australian model Hannah Duncan â and he spent one year with Brianna âChickenfryâ LaPaglia, who accused him of emotional abuse upon their 2024 breakup.
The Barstool Sports personality, 26, was allegedly offered $12 million to stay silent about their time together, which she refused.
LaPaglia savagely reacted to her exâs wedding news with a pointed TikTok singing along to Taylor Swiftâs âMastermind.â
âCheckmate, I couldnât lose,â she mouthed in Fridayâs video.
Dave Portnoy, who previously labeled Bryan a âpsychopathâ over how much Leonard resembles LaPaglia, also made headlines that same day for his response to the whirlwind wedding.
âThere ainât no way that ainât a Brianna robot,â the 48-year-old tweeted. âAinât no way.â
