Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, revealed in an interview with Megyn Kelly that she was praying to God she was pregnant when her husband was assassinated in September. The couple had hoped to have four children together, but Charlie Kirk's death at age 31 left Erika with their two young children, a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son.

The revelation came during The Megyn Kelly Show on Friday, 21 November, during the final stop of Kelly's recent tour in Glendale, Arizona. In a preview clip shared on X, Kelly mentioned Kirk's two children and said 'You told me this in private. How many kids did you want to have?'
