Zach Bryan Shares First Official Wedding Photo After Secretly Marrying Samantha Leonard
on Jan 02, 2026
On Wednesday, December 31, Zach Bryan fans were surprised to learn that the country star had quietly married his girlfriend, Samantha Leonard.
News of the couple tying the knot surfaced after a video began circulating online showing them just moments after saying “I do.”
In the clip, Bryan is wearing a tux and sunglasses as he carries his new bride out of their wedding venue in Spain. She’s dressed in a long white wedding gown with matching sunglasses.
Then, the two hop into a convertible with a “Just Married” sign on the back waiting outside, and drive away.
Bryan and Leonard have kept most of their relationship out of the spotlight since going public in the summer of 2025, so it’s unclear when the two officially got engaged. But now that news of their marriage has come out, fans are noticing that Bryan may have dropped a few subtle hints about the secret wedding.
In a now-expired Instagram Story, Bryan shared a video of Leonard lighting a firework. Fans couldn’t help but notice it looked like she was wearing a diamond ring on her left hand.
Then, a day before the ceremony, the “I Remember Everything” singer posted a photo with a group of friends. They were all dressed in formal wear, leading many to believe it was a picture of his groomsmen.
He captioned the post with the lyrics from the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” In hindsight, this pretty much pointed out that something big was about to happen.
