And even with her busy and ever-growing career, she still doesn’t stop partying and making headlines. For example, in July 2023, she confessed that she was dating Zach Bryan and was no longer in a relationship with Nik Pelligrino. However, for the rest of the article, we thought we’d tell you all about her sisters, who they are, and more. It seems like her fans don’t know much about them.
Who are the Brianna LaPaglia sisters?
Brianna LaPaglia has spoken about having a “different” childhood. Speaking to KFC Radio in October 2021, she opened up about her childhood and how her family shaped her into the successful businesswoman she is today.
Here’s how Brianna tells her story in this podcast.
Brianna has three older sisters named Brooke, Justine, and Valarie. They are half-sisters from her father’s first marriage. Two of them, according to Brianna, were “like really bad drug addicts” and were in “extremely horrible” abusive relationships.
Brianna says she saw a lot of bad things growing up, thanks to her family and her drug-addicted uncle, who slept in her basement when she was 8 years old.
Additionally, Brianna’s parents each worked two jobs. They couldn’t afford child care. So she was essentially an only child at home all the time. She was alone, scared, and “sort of” self-sufficient. After school, she would walk home, two blocks away, lock the door, and be home alone until 8 p.m. However, she also mentioned that her parents were “loving parents.”
Brianna thinks all of this has helped her grow up very quickly.
