Inside Charlie Kirk’s Family Life With Wife Erika Frantzve Kirk

by

Charlie Kirk’s loved ones are in mourning.

After the tragic shooting of Charlie, co-founder of Turning Point USA, during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, heartfelt tributes flooded social media. Notably, President Donald Trump was among the first to confirm Charlie’s passing and express his sympathies towards Erika Frantzve Kirk, his wife, and their two young children – a daughter born in August 2022 and a son born in May 2024.

In simpler terms, a former Apprentice participant shared on Truth Social that everyone adored him deeply, including me, but sadly, he is now deceased. My thoughts are with his beloved wife Erika and the entire family during this difficult time.

In 2018, the conservative activist crossed paths with the beauty pageant winner from Arizona, and Charlie felt almost instantly drawn to Erika, sensing she was the right match for him.

He mentioned that he met someone and they spent a significantly extended period of time at dinner, bordering on a job-like interrogation, as he put it in a Turning Point USA video from June 2024. Jokingly, he recommended treating finding a partner like a job interview.

In December 2020, they got engaged, and later, in May 2021, they had a small, heartfelt wedding without any bridesmaids or groomsmen.

As the fortunate wife, I refer to the man who stands by my side, my cherished husband CJK, I express my profound affection for him. On our special day, we created beautiful memories together, which I’m proud to share with everyone. My dear CJK, I love you.

In our journey towards parenthood, my partner Charlie and I chose the challenging route of keeping our upcoming arrival, our little girl, under wraps as we prepared for her entry into our lives.

In a time when virtually everything gets shared on social platforms and is often the topic of discussions,” Charlie stated in an Instagram post from last month, “we opted for keeping certain matters confidential.

Since welcoming their daughter, Charlie and Erika have become even more committed to safeguarding their children’s privacy online. Unlike before, they no longer share their kids’ names or pictures on social media. Nevertheless, they frequently post about their family adventures.

In the ten days leading up to Charlie’s passing, I, as a devoted admirer, found myself alongside the Kirk family at an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball match – a routine outing for them, much like their visit to the Chicago Cubs stadium in March.

On Labor Day, as a tribute, Charlie uploaded his last Instagram picture featuring his family, capturing a moment at a National Park with his son.

“God, family, country. In that order,” he captioned the Instagram photo. “Happy Labor Day!”

Read on for a closer look at Charlie and Erika’s family life. 

Charlie Kirk and his wife Erika Frantzve Kirk announced the birth of their first child, a daughter.

As a devoted follower, I’m thrilled to express my warmest welcome to this world, baby girl! On Instagram, I joyfully penned down my heartfelt sentiments: “I adore you immensely already.”

In my capacity as an enthusiastic supporter, I couldn’t help but extend a heartfelt greeting to the world, my dear baby girl! On Instagram, with great affection, I shared my sentiments: “You’re already deeply cherished by me.

In a casual and straightforward manner: The ex-Miss Arizona USA enjoyed a vacation at the beach with her family, which includes their newborn son, born in May 2024.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo her sentiments: The allure of obedience is discovering, in due time, God’s divine intentions. Sometimes, it may require a shift or reorientation of our perspective, but always, there lies a source of unbridled joy in the act of surrender. #SurrenderWithJoy

Charlie, along with Erika, took their child (referred to as GG on the internet) to tour the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

In her Instagram post, she wrote, “Bring children along the path that’s right for them, and when they grow up, they won’t stray from it.” She also said, “Apart from Jesus, no one loves you as much as we do, dearest GG.”

(This paraphrase maintains the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-understand language for a modern audience.)

The conservative activist and his wife took GG to a Chicago Cubs baseball game. 

“God, family, country,” he captioned the Instagram post, “and the Cubs.”

Erika and Charlie brought their kids to the set of Sesame Street.

She posted on Instagram, “Every day with them, I’m rediscovering memories from my own childhood that I hadn’t realized were missing. It feels like coming full circle in the most authentic way possible. They make me take a deeper breath, pray harder, and love more thoughtfully.

Charlie rejoiced as he marked the first birthday of his son, taking time to consider the profound effects fatherhood has had upon him.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, I expressed how immeasurable the happiness and amusement this individual has brought into our world. Parenting, an extraordinary blessing, is even more delightful since I’m fortunate enough to experience it together with the remarkable @mrserikakirk.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but sing praises to Charlie on Father’s Day, shouting out his dedication as the most thoughtful husband and father! On Instagram, I shared a heartwarming video of him going above and beyond for our little one – buying her a brand-new doll that brought joy and delight to our whole family.

The conservative activist said to his daughter as he picked up a doll from the shop, ‘You really need to behave exceptionally well to deserve something like this.’ ‘Have you been a good little angel?’ he asked. ‘If so, then I’ll buy it for you.’

In a video commemorating Independence Day, Erika expressed that the joy of celebrating liberty stirred up her feelings of affection towards Charlie.

On such vibrant days when the sky blossoms in red, white, and blue, and the air resonates with the echoes of freedom, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my partner – whom I affectionately call my husband. His profound love for our nation never ceases to amaze me. He firmly believes that the liberties we honor today are not just worth celebrating but also defending every single day.

Despite possibly not always sharing his exact views,” she went on, “I believe you might still find inspiration in the fact that he can express himself. It underscores the power we all possess to communicate. This land, though it’s far from perfect at times and perfection in others, is united by a Constitution that serves as an elegant guardian of our freedom to speak, worship, reside, and hold onto hope.

She added, “That alone is something worth celebrating.” 

On Charlie’s eldest child’s third birthday, he reminisced about constructing sandcastles on the beach with him.

Charlie posted on Instagram, ‘Happy birthday to our remarkable daughter!’ He shared that guiding her to understand God with @mrserikakirk is an extraordinary privilege. He also emphasized that starting a family brings about life-altering blessings, encouraging others to marry and start their own families – a decision he believes will never be regretted.

Charlie and Erika brought their children to a Arizona Diamondbacks baseball match, where Erika enjoyed re-experiencing her childhood memories through the perspective of her children.

On Instagram, she pondered if her parenting style was fostering a sense of gratitude and faith within her children or prompting them to seek solace from past unmet needs. To put it simply, she’s still discovering the answer, which will become clear as she makes important choices.

She added, “This window is short, drench yourself in it.”
