Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk was hoping for a miracle when her husband Charlie Kirk died in September.
She was “praying to God” she was pregnant, the mother of two told Megyn Kelly in a interview on Friday, per Mediaite.
The two spoke during the final stop of Kelly’s recent tour in Glendale, Arizona.
A preview of the interview was posted on “The Megyn Kelly Show’s X account Sunday night.
Kelly bought up the conversation by stating, “You told me this in private — How many kids did you want to have?”
“We wanted to have four,” Kirk said. “And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered.”
“Oh, wow. I thought of that once,” Kelly said. “Whether it was meant to be or whether we’d get news like that.”
“I know,” Kirk continued. “I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe. 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, but I just, I was praying. Both of us were. We were just excited to just expand our family.”
Kelly responded, “Thank God you have the two, Thank God.”
“A boy and girl. I know,” Kirk responded.
“One day, they’ll find out. Right now they’re just little loves. But one day they’ll find out that they’re Charlie Kirk’s children and they’ll know what that means,” Kelly said.
