Yes. In February 2011, Frankie Muniz’s representative said Muniz and his girlfriend, Elycia Turnbow, were still together and moving forward. A contemporaneous report said they reconciled, and in October 2011 the couple announced their engagement. Those reports establish what happened in 2011, not whether they are together today.
What was reported about the February 2011 incident?
Police removed a gun from Muniz’s Phoenix home after a domestic dispute. CBS/AP, citing a police report and TMZ’s reporting, said Turnbow told police Muniz had held a gun to his head and assaulted her. Muniz denied that account and said Turnbow had been yelling and hitting him. His representative denied that Muniz was suicidal or that Turnbow had been assaulted, and said the gun was voluntarily given to police for safekeeping. The accounts conflict; the cited reports do not independently resolve what happened. CBS/AP’s report and TMZ’s account detail the claims and denials.

Inside Edition’s report on the 911 call quoted Muniz saying, “We’re partially going through a breakup, but we’re trying to figure everything out.” It also reported that no arrests were made in connection with the incident and that the couple later reconciled. Inside Edition’s account provides that contemporaneous context.
What happened to their relationship afterward?
- February 2011: Muniz’s representative told TMZ that the couple remained together and were moving forward in their relationship. TMZ reported the representative’s statement.
- Later that month: TMZ reported that Muniz and Turnbow appeared together less than two weeks after the incident. A public appearance is evidence they were seen together, not proof of the private state of their relationship. TMZ’s report covered the appearance.
- October 2011: Muniz and Turnbow announced their engagement. CBS News quoted Muniz’s announcement: “After 4 years together, I’m so happy to be ENGAGED to the love of my life @ElyciaMarie!!!” Us Weekly also reported that he proposed at his home in Scottsdale. CBS News and Us Weekly covered the engagement.
Does the 2011 reporting confirm they are together now?
No. The reports answer the historical question: the couple stayed together after the February 2011 incident and announced an engagement later that year. They do not establish Muniz and Turnbow’s relationship status today.
