Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika revealed she hoped she was pregnant following her husband’s passing.
She made the revelation while she spoke with Megyn Kelly in an interview on Sunday, Nov. 23.
“We wanted to have four,” she told the Kelly. “And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. I was like, ‘Oh goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.'”
The two share a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
The 37-year-old added that she now urges couples to not wait to have kids.
“Now when I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please, don’t put it off.’ Especially if you’re a young woman, don’t put it off,” she added. “You can always have a career, you can always go back to work. You can never just go back to having children.”
Erika Is Incredibly Private
While Erika will share sweet moments with her children on social media, she makes sure to protect their privacy.
She will often mention her two children and revealed the sweet explanation she gave her daughter when she asked where her dad was.
“Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry,” she told her. “He’s on a work trip with Jesus, so he can afford your blueberry budget.”
The former Miss Arizona also shared a cute moment of her daughter saying Charlie Kirk’s name.
“[H]er…saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies, just changes form. It breathes through our children. This is her legacy also,” Erika wrote.
She continued, “And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time Heaven leans in to listen.”
Erika Shared a Heartfelt Message on Her Birthday
Erika posted a lengthy message to Instagram on her birthday. The video was filled with moments she shared with her late husband.
“I always loved celebrating you, and maybe because it was a reflection of how beautifully you always celebrated me. I romanticized growing old with you, the love of my life. I used to wonder what our faces would look like with wisdom-wrinkles,” she wrote.
She continued, “So as I blow out candles this year with an ache so deep I pray no one ever has to feel it, I’m reminded that each day, each moment, each birthday…you’re with me. Not in the way I once dreamed, but in the way God has mercifully allowed.”
People can tell when they are pregnant…hormones change/may get headache the next day. Yes…easier to get pregnant/have kids when younger.
