Erika Kirk says she was 'praying to God' she was pregnant when her husband was assassinated
""We wanted to have four," Kirk (37), said in an interview with Megyn Kelly that aired today. "And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered." After having a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son together, the couple was "really excited to just expand our family," Kirk said. "I was like, 'Oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe,'" she added about having another baby."
""Especially if you're a young woman, don't put it off. You can always have a career, you can always go back to work. You can never just go back to having children," she said. "And they grow so fast and so quickly. I just, I was praying. Both of us were.""
"While the Kirks chose to keep their children's faces off the internet, Kirk has spoken about how her children have dealt with the loss of their father. She said after she arrived home from escorting her husband's casket back to Arizona, her daughter asked, "Where's daddy?" "I said, 'Baby, daddy loves you so much,' she recounted telling her daughter at the time. 'Don't you worry. He's on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget.'""
Kirk and Charlie Kirk had a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son and had been preparing to expand their family. Kirk had hoped for another child and prayed about being pregnant at the time of Charlie's killing. Charlie Kirk was shot dead while speaking at Utah Valley University; the suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, was arrested and charged with murder. The Kirks kept their children's faces off the internet. After escorting her husband's casket to Arizona, Kirk's daughter asked where her father was; Kirk reassured her with a tender explanation about him being on a work trip with Jesus. Kirk read a birthday message from her daughter during a presidential medal ceremony.
