The country singer had shared a sweet 28th birthday tribute to Leonard at the time – and also included snaps of them together since sparking up a romance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He had written, ‘from bull runs to all the bulls***, today is your birthday and I love you Samantha Marie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘To the only woman who can hike six miles in Chanel flats, skydive over the alps and catch a bigger fish than me all in the same day. hope your day was as graceful as you are. about one of the best days’a the year celebrating you.’<\/p>\n

Bryan added, ‘to a runaway one’a these days “sammy, sammy I really don’t think you should run with these bulls it feels like it’ll be unsafe, I don’t want you to get hurt” “zach, look at me, I don’t care, I’m running with these d**n bulls” HAPPY 28TH!!!’<\/p>\n

Leonard does not appear to be a public figure – but is active on her Instagram page where she gives glimpses into her lifestyle and travels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before his relationship with Leonard, the country star had briefly been linked to Hannah Duncan earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bryan also dated LaPaglia from 2023 until their very public breakup the following year in October 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next month, the media personality had claimed the singer had subjected her to ‘narcissistic, emotional abuse.’\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

LaPaglia also claimed that she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement for $12 million which had been offered by Bryan and his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She recently offered an update to how she was doing one year after their split<\/a> – after competing on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When questioned if being on the show had helped her ‘reclaim’ her voice, LaPaglia told People<\/a>,\u00a0‘I don’t think I ever lost it because I never signed [the NDA].<\/p>\n

‘So, I don’t think any of this is reclaiming, really. It’s just standing true to who I am and how I’ve always been online.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bryan <\/p>\n

Bryan also dated LaPaglia from 2023 until their very public breakup the following year in October 2024; former couple seen in 2024 in L.A.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LaPaglia continued, ‘This is Bri. This is who I was five years ago when I started on social media before I went through all of that, before anyone knew about that relationship.<\/p>\n

‘So it’s just me being who I am to the core, and that year and that dark place that I was in and that relationship, I wasn’t me. So if anything, it’s just me moving forward.’<\/p>\n

Last month in November, Bryan proudly announced that he was two months sober while getting candid about his mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star – who is a U.S. Navy veteran – explained that his time in the military as well as being in the ‘spotlight’ was something that he didn’t initially understand ‘the scope of’ and led to\u00a0‘earth-shattering panic attacks.’<\/p>\n

He revealed that he had been ‘stuck in a perpetual discontent that led to me always reaching for alcohol, not for the taste, but because there was a consistent black hole in me always needing its void filled.’<\/p>\n

Bryan eventually went to therapy and\u00a0‘made the conscious [sic] decision to do something about my toxic relationship with booze and how I cope with major life changes.<\/p>\n

‘I haven’t touched alcohol for nearly two months now- something I had to do for my own personal clarity. I needed to see the world objectively.’<\/p>\n

\"Last <\/p>\n

Last month in November, Bryan proudly announced that he was two months sober while getting candid about his mental health; seen in 2024 in Detroit\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then gave a special shout out to his family as well as Leonard while concluding with, ‘I don’t believe in absolutes.<\/p>\n

‘One day maybe, I’ll learn to control my habits, but for now; I just want to say it is okay to be weak at times and need help. God speed everyone! I hope this helps somebody.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bryan has been involved in past controversies, including a moment when he was caught\u00a0issuing a homophobic slur while at a West Village bar<\/a> in New York City back in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And late last year in November, he was cleared by authorities following a 2023 clash with Highway Patrol in Oklahoma.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
