Zach Bryan got emotional at the altar in new photos from his whirlwind wedding to Samantha Leonard.
The bride shared photos from last month’s 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.
“forever xx,” Leonard wrote alongside the carousel, which also featured a portrait of herself and Bryan smiling side-by-side.
News broke on New Year’s 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, “tougher than the rest.”
On Monday, he admitted to crying “a good bit” when Leonard honored his late mother with her wedding dress.
“Samantha went out of her way to put my mom’s wedding dress lace on her dress,” Bryan wrote on his Story. “Meant so much sweetheart, thank you.”
The pair’s nuptials came weeks after Bryan revealed his sobriety.
In a lengthy November 2025 statement, Bryan wrote that he stopped drinking after experiencing “perpetual discontent” and “earth-shattering panic attacks.”
One of his motivations for getting sober was “Sammy’s happiness.”
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 — and he spent one year with Brianna “Chickenfry” 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 ex’s wedding news with a pointed TikTok singing along to Taylor Swift’s “Mastermind.”
“Checkmate, I couldn’t lose,” she mouthed in Friday’s video.
Dave Portnoy, who previously labeled Bryan a “psychopath” over how much Leonard resembles LaPaglia, also made headlines that same day for his response to the whirlwind wedding.
“There ain’t no way that ain’t a Brianna robot,” the 48-year-old tweeted. “Ain’t no way.”
