Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk has revealed she was “praying to God” she was pregnant when her late husband, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in September.
“We wanted to have four,” Kirk told “The Megyn Kelly Show” in an interview that is set to air Monday.
“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.
