This super hot podcaster deserves a Friday Feature, and you probably saw why in the featured photo. Brianna LaPaglia is just so damn gorgeous. Oh, and here’s another photo…
We know, we don’t really have to convince you that she really deserves this spot. We just want to show you another photo before we get to the good part of this article. So, enough chit chat and let’s get to know this beautiful woman a little bit more.
Who is Brianna LaPaglia
Brianna LaPaglia—better known to the internet as “Brianna Chickenfry”—has turned chaotic honesty into a full-blown career (and honestly, good for her).
She first built her following with the kind of unfiltered, “did she really just say that?” content that somehow feels both outrageous and painfully relatable. That momentum carried her straight into the Barstool Sports universe, where she now hosts the hit podcasts PlanBri Uncut and BFFs—basically serving up comedy, hot takes, and zero-filter storytelling on a regular schedule.
Her profile got an extra boost during her headline-making relationship with country singer Zach Bryan, but make no mistake—she was already very much online-famous before that entered the chat.
Between TikTok, podcasting, and her talent for saying exactly what everyone else is thinking (but with better timing), Brianna has carved out a space that feels equal parts chaotic, funny, and weirdly comforting.
Her Early Life
Brianna LaPaglia was born on June 17, 1999, in Boston, into a household that sounds like it could’ve been its own sitcom. The youngest of four—with three much older half-sisters—she grew up in what she’s described as a pretty unconventional setup. With both parents juggling multiple jobs, she spent a lot of time on her own, which basically fast-tracked her into becoming fiercely independent (and probably very good at entertaining herself).
She graduated from Rockland High School in 2017 and initially took a very different path than you might expect—heading into college on a pre-med track with a minor in screenwriting. Yes, future doctor… with plot twists.
But somewhere during her junior year, TikTok entered the chat. She started posting videos about partying, hangovers, and the kind of chaos that feels a little too real the morning after—and the internet ate it up. One minute she was studying science, the next she was building a following by turning “I regret everything” into content.
Career Journey
Brianna LaPaglia didn’t exactly plan her career—she kind of posted her way into it. Her early TikToks—especially the now-iconic “hungover” videos—blew up because they were painfully relatable and just self-aware enough to be hilarious. And yes, the nickname “Chickenfry” came from a viral moment where she compared her legs to Burger King chicken fries… which is either branding genius or accidental comedy gold (probably both).
At the time, she was studying pre-med/biochemistry at Baldwin Wallace University—so, naturally, the next step was… Barstool Sports. She caught their attention, landed an internship in 2020, and then made the bold (read: slightly chaotic) decision to drop out and move to New York City to go all in. Spoiler: it worked.
She launched PlanBri Uncut in July 2020, basically documenting the highs, lows, and questionable decisions of her 20s, and later teamed up with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards to co-host BFFs—a podcast that thrives on internet drama, hot takes, and saying the quiet part out loud.
From there, she built a whole brand around being unapologetically “real”—college tours, merch drops, and even launching her own alcohol brand, Pirate Water (because of course that was the next logical step).
As of early 2026, she’s been leaning into a bit of a rebrand—think “new chapter, same chaos but slightly more self-aware”—following a very public breakup. She’s still running her podcasts, but also took things to a whole new level by joining Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 4, where she traded hangovers for military-style training. Character development, but make it intense.
Facts and Trivia
Brianna LaPaglia went public with her relationship with Zach Bryan in July 2023, sharing on PlanBri Uncut that things started off casual—just two people hanging out and seeing where it went. Give it a few months, and “casual” had clearly left the chat. By February 2024, the pair made their red carpet debut at the Grammys, signaling that the relationship had very much entered its main-character era.
By mid-2024, things looked solid, with Bryan openly expressing his affection online around their one-year mark. But by October, the story took a turn, and the two went their separate ways after what was described as a personally challenging year. Not every soft launch gets a long season—sometimes it’s a limited series.
In 2025, LaPaglia added another headline moment to her résumé with a feature in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, continuing her steady crossover from internet personality to full-on mainstream presence.
She’s also been notably open about cosmetic procedures, including a nose job, breast implants, veneers, and filler—approaching the topic with the same unfiltered honesty that built her platform in the first place.
