Zach Bryan Shares the First Look at His and Samantha Leonard’s Wedding: ‘Tougher Than the Rest’

Zach Bryan is officially married. The country star confirmed that he and Samantha Leonard tied the knot, after a video circulated of the couple getting into a car decorated with “Just Married” flags on the back on Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Bryan, 29, shared the first official look at his wedding, including a photo of him and the bride. In the photo, posted to Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 31, Bryan is seen holding Leonard, 28, as she wears a strapless white gown with a feather-trimmed hem.

“Tougher than the rest,” Bryan captioned the post, referencing Bruce Springsteen’s love song with the same name, hailing from the Boss’ 1987 album Tunnel of Love.

Bryan’s post also included a video from the celebration where he is seen covering the track while on a stage surrounded by flowers.

Bryan and Leonard’s wedding comes a day after the “Something in the Orange” performer shared a photo to Instagram of him and friends in formal wear with a caption that featured lyrics from the Black Eyed Peas hit “I Gotta Feeling.”

“Tonight’s the night, let’s live it up/I got my money, let’s spend it up (I feel)/Go out and smash it, like, ‘Oh my God!’/Jump off that sofa, let’s kick it off (I feel),” he captioned the post.

The couple sparked engagement rumors when Leonard was seen wearing a diamond ring on her left hand in a video where she lit a firework that Bryan posted to Instagram Stories.

Bryan and Leonard were first linked in July 2025 after Leonard posted a photo of the pair attending Spain’s Running of the Bulls in an Instagram slideshow.

The couple was also seen spending time on vacation together in photos Leonard shared on Instagram, on Aug. 21. In one photo, the pair was seen embracing as they held a fishing rod while on a boat.

“Spanish eyes,” Bryan wrote under her post.

“You made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away, sign what they went through away,” LaPaglia claimed on the BFFs Podcast. “You get to go skip off and sing your little f—— songs on stage like you’re a good dude … Sorry, I’m not them.”

Although Bryan has not commented publicly on the allegations, he subtly referenced his ex in a recent video, sharing a clip to his Instagram Stories that featured him setting fire to a flag for Barstool Sports — the media company that hosts LaPaglia’s podcast.

Leonard, meanwhile, has been private about her dating and work life. In her Instagram profile, she writes that she splits her time between Newport Beach in California and New York City, and has worked as an influencer.
