Bryan, 29, took to Instagram to share a black-and-white photo of him holding Leonard, who was wearing a strapless, ruched white gown with feather trim while holding a wine glass.
“Tougher than the rest,” Bryan captioned the post, presumably in reference to the Bruce Springsteen song from his album Tunnel of Love.
The post also included a video from what appeared to be the reception and showcased Bryan singing the Boss’ track.

The caption accompanying the J.C. Penney photoshoot-inspired pic featured lyrics from the Black Eyed Peas song 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),” Bryan wrote.
Going public
The pair first sparked dating rumours this past July after Leonard shared a photo of the two of them at Spain’s Running of the Bulls.
She also shared photos from their vacation a month later, including one pic of them embracing while fishing on a boat.
In October, the Grammy winner shared a sweet carousel of photos to celebrate Leonard’s 28th birthday.
“From bull runs to all the bulls—, today is your birthday and I love you Samantha Marie,” Bryan wrote in the caption.

Bryan’s dating history
Bryan’s personal life last made headlines following his October 2024 split from Barstool Sports personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, who admitted to being “blindsided” by his public breakup message.
“I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up, and I had no idea that post was going up,” she said in a tearful YouTube video.
“He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me … How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally through stuff that you shouldn’t … and then be discarded of in a few days? It’s really, really heartbreaking.”
LaPaglia also accused Bryan of emotional abuse and alleged that he offered her $12 million and a house to not discuss their relationship.
Bryan has not publicly commented on the allegations, but did 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 singer was previously married to Rose Madden from 2020 to 2021.
