“I said… I would never date a celebrity. Literally, I never wanted to,” LaPaglia, 25, shared during the “Talk Tuah” podcast episode released Tuesday, October 22.

He asked fans to respect LaPaglia’s privacy, and “if you have it in your heart,” his own as well.

“With all that I am and everyone I have let down, I am sorry for trying my best in everything. I have failed people who love me and especially myself,” he concluded in his lengthy message.

Within 24 hours of announcing their breakup, Bryan teased a new song called “Rockaway.”

He sang the lyrics, “Remember the time we went to Rockaway Beach, the summer heat in eastern Queens and a ride on the subway. Picnic chairs, umbrellas over dark brown hair, catching the tides before winter arrived.”

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

Bryan and the social media influencer first met at the 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards, but were both in a relationship at the time. The two started dating shortly after.
