When did Erika franstve and Mr Massey break up
Executive summary
Public reporting establishes that Erika Frantzve (now Erika Kirk) and JT (Tyler/JT/Joseph) Massey were a documented couple in 2014 and into 2015, appearing together in a 2014 Amazing Race audition tape and in photos from 2015, but none of the reviewed sources supply a specific breakup date; articles repeatedly note that “not much is known” about when or how the relationship ended [1] [2] [3]. Available coverage places their relationship activity between early 2014 (first date reported as March 1 in the tape) and photos or posts through 2015, after which sources say the pair “went their separate ways” without giving a date [4] [3] [2].
1. What the contemporaneous record shows
The clearest primary artifacts are an Amazing Race audition video filmed in 2014 in which Erika Frantzve and JT Massey appear as a couple and state they’d been together about five months, with Massey narrating that their first date took place on March 1 [1] [5] [4]. That audition tape — widely circulated in later years — is the anchor for the timeline: it documents them as an active couple in 2014 and establishes the public fact of their relationship at that moment [1] [5].
2. Follow-up coverage and photographic traces through 2015
Beyond the audition, photo shoots and profiles from Arizona-based outlets show Erika and Massey together in 2015; some studios posted couple photos that were later shared and discussed as evidence of a continued relationship into that year [6] [3] [7]. Magazine copy by Erika in Arizona Foothills references “JT Massey” as her “incredible boyfriend,” corroborating that the relationship was public-facing in that period [8].
3. What reporters explicitly say — and what they don’t
Multiple outlets covering the resurfaced footage and subsequent social media virality are careful to note the absence of hard public records about the breakup itself: statements such as “not much is known” about the end of the relationship appear verbatim in reporting that resurrected the audition tape years later [1]. Other pieces summarize that the two “did not go as planned” and “went their separate ways,” but none provides a date, a public announcement, a divorce or breakup filing, or direct statements from either party about the precise timing [3] [7].
4. Competing narratives, viral claims and how they diverge
When images and snippets re-emerged in late 2025, social media spun competing narratives — some claiming engagement-level seriousness, others suggesting the photos were commercial or studio work — and outlets flagged those disputes while still lacking a definitive breakup timeline [6] [7]. The divergence in interpretation — whether photos were engagement-style or simply part of a photographer’s gallery — highlights how the absence of explicit documentation enables speculation even when the couple’s presence in 2014–2015 is well attested [6] [7].
5. Reasonable inference and the reporting limits
Given the documented public relationship in 2014 and visuals or mentions into 2015, the plausible inference is that Erika Frantzve and JT Massey separated sometime after 2015 and before Erika’s publicly noted relationship with Charlie Kirk that appears in later reporting about her life and marriage; however, none of the provided sources supplies a concrete breakup date or direct confirmation of the exact timing, and this analysis stops where the reporting stops rather than asserting an unverified date [3] [7] [1].
6. Bottom line
There is no explicit, sourced breakup date in the set of articles provided: public records and media cite their being together in 2014 and into 2015 and say they later “went their separate ways,” but they do not state when that occurred [1] [3] [7]. Any statement of a specific breakup date would go beyond the evidence in these reports; reporting currently supports only a window (active 2014 through at least early 2015) rather than a precise end date [4] [8].
