Erika Kirk’s heartbreaking baby confession after husband’s murder

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on Sept. 10, 2025, during an appearance at Utah Valley University meant to launch his “American Comeback Tour.” As he spoke with students under a campus tent, a gunman fired, hitting him in the neck and killing him at 31. Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson the next day, later describing the attack as planned and politically motivated. Prosecutors announced they would pursue the death penalty, and Kirk’s widow, Erika, received a protective order against the suspect.

The killing sparked national grief, including a tribute from President Donald Trump. But the deepest loss was felt by Erika, who spoke emotionally on The Megyn Kelly Show about the future stolen from her family. She and Kirk, already parents of two young children, had hoped for at least two more. She admitted she prayed she might have been pregnant when he died, saying it would have been a blessing amid tragedy. Now raising their children alone, Erika urges young couples not to delay starting families, reminding them that careers can wait — but time with children cannot be reclaimed.
