Zach Bryan is back off the market.
The “Pink Skies” star has a new love interest in his life, and he made things Instagram official on Saturday (Oct.18) with a 28th birthday post for his girlfriend, Samantha Leonard.
“From bull runs to all the bulls–t, today is your birthday and I love you Samantha Marie,” Bryan wrote in his post.
“To the only woman who can hike six miles in Chanel flats, skydive over the alps and catch a bigger fish than me all in the same day,” he went on to say. “Hope your day was as graceful as you are.”
Who is Zach Bryan’s New Girlfriend?
It seems that Samantha Leonard is not a public figure.
Her Instagram bio ties her to two locations, Newport Beach, Calif. and New York, N.Y. Her posts also show frequent travel, both domestically and across the pond.

Not much else is known about Samantha, but according to Bryan’s post, his girlfriend is an adrenaline junkie. He quoted a conversation between them where she refused to listen when he expressed concern about her running with bulls, though it’s not clear if that’s literal or metaphorical.
He also took her skydiving for her birthday. Samantha shared some before and after shots of that experience on her Instagram Stories.

How Long Have Zach Bryan and His New Girlfriend Been Dating?
It seems the couple have been together for a while now. Bryan had plenty of photos and videos to choose from as he assembled a social media carousel to celebrate his love.
One of those was a clip of him kissing Samantha before taking the stage at Ann Arbor, Mich.’s Michigan Stadium, a record-setting concert he played on Sept. 27. That means their relationship dates back at least a month — and probably a while before then, too.
Samantha shared a photo of herself and Bryan on Instagram on Aug. 21, to which he commented, “Spanish eyes.”
It would make sense if the pair kept their relationship under wraps for a while before announcing it.
Bryan has been cagey about his personal life in recent history, presumably because his relationship and breakup with Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry turned into one of the genre’s biggest and most public feuds of 2024 and 2025.

After they split last November, Chickenfry accused Bryan of emotional abuse and claimed that he offered her $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) promising not to talk about the breakup.
Since then, they’ve been locked in a heated feud that has involved diss tracks, screenshots, podcast episodes, song lyrics and much more.
What Did Brianna Chickenfry Say About Zach Bryan’s New Girlfriend?
In an Oct. 12 episode of her Plan Bri Uncut podcast, Chickenfry said that many fans have suggested that Bryan’s new girlfriend looks quite a bit like her.
“Next question that I get a million times: Please, what do you think about Zach’s girlfriend looking exactly like you?” she said in that episode.

“I think this is narcissism textbook 101 — that’s what narcissists do, they just go find another version of you to date,” Chickenfry pointed out.
“People are like, ‘Are you creeped out? Are you mad? Are you annoyed? Are you flattered?'” she went on to say. “I am flattered, to be honest, but I dyed my hair so that people stop sending me every single picture that he posts of her.”
She also said that she has Bryan “blocked on everything,” and that she doesn’t want to see the details of her personal life or new relationship.
