Brianna LaPaglia wants to experiment with a new approach to finding love after a messy breakup with Zach Bryan.
The podcaster voiced her frustration at romantic relationships with men and is heavily considering exploring coupling up with a lady.
Brianna LaPaglia and her country musician boyfriend, Zach Bryan, broke up in October after dating for nearly a year.
Brianna LaPaglia Thinks She Is Better Suited At Finding Something Stable With A Nice Lady
The content creator, still dealing with the aftermath of her shocking split from Bryan, revealed that her preference has switched from men to women. She updated her "BFFs" podcast co-host Josh Richards about her decision, noting that she is content with her single life regardless.
LaPaglia added that it was not strange territory for her as she had dabbled into same-sex dating before, and it seemed to be right up her alley in terms of intensity.
"I think that they're better, so maybe I really am fully a lesbian, so maybe that's why none of my relationships with men have worked out," the content creator declared.
Despite her openness to trying something new, LaPaglia stated on the podcast that she is willing to take those baby steps and wait at least until summer to find a new partner.

The 25-year-old opened the year with a bang as she showed up looking smoking hot on the cover of the famous magazine.
As shared by The Blast, LaPaglia's toned body was on full display in a tan two-piece. The creator insisted the shoot was a redemption arc for her after such a rollercoaster situation with Bryan.
"It's a lot more than me looking quote-unquote hot in a swimsuit—it's me reclaiming who I am as a woman, reclaiming my body and my decisions and my choices," the model declared.
The model shared that the images symbolize reclaiming control over her life and personal narratives. She emphasized:
"This is my body; my body isn't that experience, and even though I'm not 100% in it right now, this is me. This doesn't have anything to do with anybody else."
LaPaglia claimed the shoot was a chance for her to push back against Bryan and send a clear message that she, too, is capable of being bold. "On a petty level, my favorite f— you. This is me, and I wanted to do this, and now I'm on the digital cover," the excited online personality revealed.

In the spirit of reclaiming her life, LaPaglia saw the shoot as an opportunity to live out her dream, almost truncated by Bryan's advice.
She revealed that she nearly landed a hosting gig for Sports Illustrated's 60th anniversary, but Bryan urged her to reject the offer as it was too inappropriate for her brand at the time.
Nevertheless, the podcaster was beyond excited to flaunt her sleek tattoos and toned abs. The media expert was captured through the expert lens of Katherine Goguen by the beaches of La Quinta, California, late last year.
In discussing her plans for the upcoming year, she shared with the magazine her desire to focus on hosting more podcasts while cutting back on her time spent on TikTok and influencing.
The star expressed her intent to embrace the potential TikTok ban as an opportunity to redirect her energy toward healthier, more fulfilling projects. "How I'm feeling right now is I'm like, Pop a bottle of champagne! Let's get rid of this horrible, hateful app," the host explained.

LaPaglia took her revenge plans to a new level by hitting up the songwriter's ex-wife, Rose Madden, and having a lengthy conversation about his patterns. She shared hints of their conversation on an episode of her "BFFs" podcast with co-hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.
Although she did not share specifics, the media expert suggested that Madden was on the same page as her regarding their mutual ex during a FaceTime call that lasted a couple of hours.
"I f—ing love her. I have never felt more seen and validated in my life, same with her. Oh my gosh, she's a great person," the YouTube personality explained.
Portnoy also agreed with LaPaglia's statement, noting that almost everyone from Bryan's past has said similar things about his character.
Brianna LaPaglia Claimed Zach Bryan Offered Her Money For Silence
Always an open book, LaPaglia revealed her ex offered her a huge amount of money alongside a non-disclosure agreement to never speak about their failed relationship.
In a report by The Blast, the podcaster identified the singer's team as those who approached her, offering "a big lump sum of money and a few options."
According to her, the deal was supposed to last for three years, and the payment would also spread over that duration. But LaPaglia hated the idea that she would not be able to speak freely without the artist's team monitoring her every move.
"I thought about it for a second, and I think they tend to forget, I started to forget, that I was someone, I was established, I was successful, before [Bryan]," LaPaglia bragged.
