Zach Bryan's ex issued an ominous warning before their split was announced

Zach Bryan's now-ex Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia issued an ominous warning ahead of their sudden split.

“I said… that I would never date someone famous. “Literally, I never wanted this,” LaPaglia, 25, shared during the “Talk Tuah” podcast episode released on Tuesday, October 22.

During the conversation, LaPaglia's friend Grace O'Malley joked that she would “rue the day” when she made that statement.

The Barstool Sports podcaster did not respond to comment and continued to explain that her relationship with Bryan “kind of just happened.”

When LaPaglia was asked, “What changed your mind?” She let out a deep sigh and replied, “I don't know. I wish… don’t date famous people.”

“I think it's better for your mental health (health) not to date someone famous. That’s a lot,” LaPaglia warned.

In the Instagram post, Bryan can be seen somberly playing the piano with his back to the camera.
