Zach Bryan is officially a married man!
The "Something in Orange" singer tied the knot with Samantha Leonard, his girlfriend of just a few months, in a lavish ceremony in San Sebastian, Spain, on Wednesday.
Fans suspected as much after a video circulated on New Year's Eve showing the country star in black shades carrying Leonard, clad in a frothy wedding gown and wearing her own black shades, through a crowd of cheering onlookers over cobblestone streets and into a dark green convertible with a "Just Married" banner fanned out across the trunk.
Now Bryan has confirmed their nuptials with an official wedding portrait, which he shared to Instagram with the caption, "Tougher than the rest."
The couple look overjoyed in the photo, which again features Bryan holding his bride in his arms, her elegant gown spilling down outside the frame. The second slide in Bryan's carousel shows Bryan and his band decked out in tuxedos and playing the Bruce Springsteen song he quoted in his caption.
"Well, 'round here, baby / I learned you get what you can get," Bryan croons in the video, channeling the Boss in his 1987 Tunnel of Love era. "So if you're rough enough for love / Honey, I'm tougher than the rest."

Bryan and Leonard have been dating for only a handful of months. The country star was romantically linked with Hannah Duncan in March 2025 and went through a highly publicized breakup with Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia late last year.

The 29-year-old musician confirmed their breakup in October 2024, a little over a year after they got together. A month later, LaPaglia accused Bryan of emotional abuse, alleged that he makes his exes sign nondisclosure agreements to prevent them from speaking about him, and said she's "scared of him."
Bryan and Leonard first sparked relationship rumors back in July, when Leonard shared a photo to her Instagram of her with Bryan at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain.
The country singer caused a stir in September after scaling a fence at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Okla., during a heated exchange with Gavin Adcock, and a viral video showed him baiting the fellow crooner, saying "Hey, do you want to fight like a man?" and telling him to "come open the gate."
