“And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered.”
“I was like, ‘Oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe,’” she added.
Erika Kirk, who has a young daughter and son with Charlie, said the couple were excited to add to their family before he was gunned down on Sept. 10 during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
“So, 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, you can always have a career, you can always, you know, go back to work. You can never just go back to having children. And they grow so fast and so quickly,” she said.
“I just, I was praying. Both of us were.”
Erika Kirk, a former Miss Arizona USA, married Charlie Kirk in May 2021 and was tapped to take over Turning Point USA in the wake of her husband’s death.
