I always wondered about Zach Bryan’s wife, Rose Madden. She wasn’t in the spotlight, didn’t do interviews, and barely posted online. But then came the sudden split, TikTok shade, and all the rumors.
Cheating, secret divorce papers, even an alleged NDA—fans had a lot to say!
Now Rose is living her own life, far from the chaos of her previous relationship. So, what’s the real story? Allow me to break it all down!
Who Is Rose Madden?
While I’d love to tell you all about Rose Madden and her early life, there’s simply nothing online about her. All information about Rose prior to her relationship with Zach is under wraps.

Even after her marriage had ended, Rose stayed away from the spotlight as much as she could, sharing nothing about her parents, potential siblings, or childhood.
So, today we’re focusing on what we do know—her relationship with Zach and the aftermath that followed.
Meeting Zach Bryan
So, how did Rose meet Zach? Their relationship probably began in late 2019 or early 2020. They met while serving in the Navy, and they quickly tied the knot in 2020, by Colchuck Lake, Washington.
Zach Bryan had already been in the Navy since he was 17 years old, and he even released his first album in 2019 while serving.

During their relationship, Zach released an album titled Elizabeth, which many believed was inspired by Rose, given that her middle name is Elizabeth.
On the surface, it seemed like a love story set to music. However, beneath all the romance, something wasn’t quite right.
The Breakup and the Rumors That Followed
Within one year, the couple had gone their separate ways. There was no joint statement or official announcement on social media.
Instead, Zach’s fans pieced it together after Rose posted a lighthearted TikTok with the caption, “When your ex husband moves out, and you are now forced to cook potatoes with a f###ing pumpkin pie mold✨.” Their marriage lasted less than a year.
After that, many rumors circulated on the internet that Zach had actually cheated on Rose while she was deployed in Italy.

Some even say he sent her the divorce papers while she was in the Navy. Still, neither Zach nor Rose confirmed anything online.
Inside LaPaglia’s Side of the Story
A few years after Zach and Rose split up, Zach started dating Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, a famous internet personality.
Their relationship started in the summer of 2023, or maybe before that, and the couple announced their split in October 2024.
Now, you must be wondering, what does this have to do with Zach Bryan’s ex-wife Rose?
Well, after Zach and Brianna announced their split, Brianna started talking more and more about the relationship in her podcast. Sadly, the things she shared were tragic.
Across various BFFs podcast episodes, Brianna revealed that she’s been emotionally abused by Zach and that he offered her money to keep silent about what happened—allegedly.
Moreover, she described the last year of her relationship with Zach as one of the hardest. She admitted that she’s still afraid of him, worried about making him angry, and revealed that she’s currently in “intensive therapy.”

Most importantly, Brianna said she FaceTimed Rose, and the two spoke for a couple of hours about themselves and their relationship with Zach.
In the end, both felt some sort of connection, as they could understand one another’s trauma. While Brianna didn’t reveal the details of their conversation, she did express her admiration for Rose, saying she loved her.
Rose’s Response
During all this mayhem, Rose remained silent—no confirmation, no denials. Even when Brianna gave her a shoutout before spilling everything about Zach, Rose didn’t take the bait.
Of course, the internet started speculating that she might’ve signed an NDA, keeping her from speaking out. But, as with most things in this story, that’s just a rumor.
Currently
Not long after Brianna went public, Rose posted a video with her new boyfriend, clearly focused on moving forward.

She’s a Digital Creator, with a growing online presence, racking up more than 70k TikTok followers.
As for her boyfriend, Sebastian, they started as friends in 2021 before things naturally evolved into something more romantic.
Final Words
Even after looking up everything about Zach Bryan’s wife—or shall we call her ex-wife—I still feel like I don’t know the full story.
I can gather bits and pieces from Brianna’s side of the story, but the bigger picture is out of reach. Rose Madden remains a mystery, choosing silence while rumors swirl.
Was she abused as people speculate? Did she sign an NDA? Or does she just prefer to leave the past where it belongs? We may never know.
