Conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk welcomed two children with former Miss Arizona USA winner Erika Kirk (née Frantzve) before his death in September 2025.

Charlie and Erika tied the knot in 2021 after two years of dating. They expanded their family with a daughter in August 2022 and a son in May 2024.

First Child’s Birth

Charlie paid tribute to his wife’s strength during labor when he announced that they’d welcomed their first child, a daughter, in August 2022. They had previously chosen not to publicly reveal Erika’s pregnancy.

“Welcome to the world baby girl. We love you so much,” he wrote via Instagram. “Erika did so so well, praise God!”

When Charlie returned to his radio show the following Monday, he described the prior seven days as “a week that changed my life.”

“We welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world,” he told listeners.

Touching on his and Erika’s decision to keep quiet about her pregnancy, Charlie explained: “We did that for a variety of reasons, some being security, and also just being that it’s not about social media. In a world where everything is put on social media, where everything is constantly being posted and being talked about, we made a decision, my wife and I, to keep one thing rather private. And I’ll tell you, it was not easy.”

Second Child’s Birth

Charlie and Frantzve’s son was born in May 2024, with the political commentator once again announcing the news via Instagram.

“Glory be to God for the birth of our Son! Erika did so amazing, I am so proud of her,” he assured his followers.

Charlie shared a photo of both children in May 2025 — with their faces turned away from the camera — in honor of his son’s first birthday.

“Yesterday we celebrated our son’s 1st birthday! He has brought an infinite amount of joy and laughter into our lives,” he wrote via Instagram. “Being a parent is an incredible gift, made far better because I get to do it alongside @mrserikakirk.”
