Kirk Medas was born on January 19, 1992, in Georgia. He was known for his work in Floribama Shore on MTV, after he joined the reality show in 2017.
Off-screen, he juggled his career as a sports book consultant, influencer, and entrepreneur with his reality star status. He frequently shared glimpses of his life in Atlanta.
After starring on Floribama Shore, the show that replaced Jersey Shore, Kirk Medas appeared on programs such as Fear Factor and Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘n Out. Medas last posted a picture of himself posing on a balcony with a view of Miami on April 15.
Wren Marie, who also made a brief appearance on the show Floribama Shore, was Kirk Medas' former girlfriend. One of the more private cast members, Kirk kept a lot of his affairs off the public eye, particularly his romance with Wren Marie. Kirk kept a low profile as many of his co-stars engaged in breakups and on-screen relationships.
However, as time went on, there were rumors that the pair had broken up. Meanwhile, Medas had just spent two weeks in the intensive care unit of a Miami hospital following a diagnosis of sepsis and necrotizing pancreatitis, which was described as a "severe case."

“The situation is incredibly serious… [Nilsa] has been flying back and forth to Miami to be by his side.”
Kirk Medas "does not have medical insurance, and his sweet, strong mother has created a GoFundMe to help with the overwhelming expenses," Hall revealed, referring to hospital bills and rehabilitation.
In her post offering condolences, Hall continued by stating:
"Me and Kirk started this journey together when we were just 24 years old, and from that moment on, we were family. We talked almost every single day. We worked together, we traveled together, we vacationed together—we did life together. He was there through every chapter, through every change, always ready to hold our hands and lift our spirits.”
She concluded:
"Please keep everyone who loved him in your prayers. We are hurting, but we are holding on to the love he gave us. One sweet day, I know we’ll all be together again. Until then, I’ll miss him every single day."
