Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika says she was “praying” she was pregnant after her husband was killed.
In a conversation with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Channel, the mom of two, 36, said that she and her late husband, 31, wanted to have four kids together, adding that she was “praying” she was expecting her third baby after he was assassinated on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University.
We wanted to have four,” she told Kelly, 55. “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.'”
Erika and Charlie welcomed a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son together.
Erika went on to share that she advises women, especially young women, to prioritize having a family if that’s what they want to do.
“Now when I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please, like don’t put it off,’ especially if you’re a young woman, don’t put it off,” she said. “You can always have a career. You can always go back to work. You can never just go back to having children, and they grow so fast and so quickly.”
“I was praying, both of us were, we were really excited to just expand our family,” she added.
