Erika Kirk Was ‘Praying to God’ She Was Pregnant at Time of Charlie …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been over four months since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.

His widow, Erika Kirk, is still making the media rounds in an effort to share her husband’s message and preserve his legacy.

And in a recent interview with Megyn Kelly, Erika revealed a heartbreaking aspect of her story that she had previously kept private.

Erika Kirk reveals she had hoped to have more children by late husband

“You told me this in private — How many kids did you want to have?” Kelly asked.

“We wanted to have four. And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered,” Kirk replied, adding:

“Both of us were, we were really excited to just expand our family.”

“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,” a tearful Kirk replied. “I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.”

As was the case with her husband, Kirk’s brand relies heavily on her tendency to make the personal political, as well as her belief that the lifestyle of her choosing is the only one worth leading.

These tendencies were on full display during her conversation with Kelly, as she advised all women to start having children at an early age:

“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,” Kirk said.

“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.”

Of course, not everyone can afford to put off full-time employment, so Kirk’s advice might not be as universally useful as she believes it to be.

And as many have pointed out, Charlie Kirk frequently railed against the idea of women — especially mothers — working outside the home, so there’s an inherent irony in Erika’s decision to take on the role of CEO at Turning Point USA.

“Thank God you have the two. Thank God,” Kelly said in response to Kirk’s comments about her family.

“A boy and girl. I know,” Kirk told her.

“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 replied.

Erika has not revealed her immediate plans for Turning Point, but we’re sure she’ll make several more media appearances between now and the end of the year.

Robyn Brown Fights Back: I’ve Always Been Loyal to Meri!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Robyn Brown has made it very clear for awhile now:

She is no fan of her former sister wives.

In a sneak peek at this Sunday night’s one-on-one special, however, the long-time reality star insists that at least one of these women has no reason at all to be distrustful of her.

(TLC)

“After everything that’s happened, you don’t feel that Meri has any grounds to distrust you?” host Sukanya Krishnan asks Robyn at one point in their interview.

“I do not. I absolutely do not,” Robyn fires back, claiming, “I’ve had Meri’s back.”

Over the last few years, of course, it’s been made evident that Robyn no longer talks to his former spiritual spouses. She doesn’t think this is her fault, though.

On this special, Krishnan noted that Meri had previously said that during her “dark times” in Las Vegas — when Meri was catfished by a woman posing as a male suitor online in 2015 — she “leaned on” Robyn.

“All I know is that she was having a conversation online about flowers and texting and music and flirting and I was like, ‘She is struggling. Get your butt over there. Figure this out with her,’” Robyn now says of her part in the drama, admitting she did meddle in Meri and then-shared husband Kody Brown’s relationship back then.

But only because she was trying to help them mend fences.

“That’s what I was doing, okay? She’s sitting here saying that she can’t trust me because of this or that. I had her freaking back,” Robyn told the host.

(TLC)

It’s pretty crazy that this castfishing scandal is still being discussed over 11 years later — but Kody has blasted Meri in the semi-recent past for cheating him.

About a decade ago, Meri opened up about her catfishing scandal… claiming that Robyn made it worse by reporting back to their then-shared husband Kody. At the time, Meri denied the affair extended beyond online conversations.

“During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking with someone online who turned out to be not who they said they were,” Meri told Us Weekly in a statement in October 2015, explaining her side of the story.

“I never met this person and I regret being drawn into this situation, but I hope because of it I can help others who find themselves in similar circumstances.”

(TLC)

This scandal came months after Kody divorced Meri so he could legally adopt Robyn.

Indeed. There’s a lot of backstory here.

“I was sitting there watching everything that was happening and I was worried about her,” Robyn now says of that dark time period.

“And I was saying, ‘She kicked you out and you go stay in another room. You have the conversation with her. You don’t come over here. You go work it out with her. She’s being taken advantage of.’”

In terms of what she told Kody, Robyn alleges:

“Even if I didn’t know it was a catfishing situation, even just somebody sitting there taking advantage of someone who is struggling, a woman who’s struggling, I was like, ‘You get your butt over there and you talk to her. You work this out.’”

(TLC)

There’s no relationship at this point between Robyn and Meri.

Still, Robyn insists that her “intentions” were always pure when it came to Meri.

In the Sister Wives: 1-on-1 trailer released earlier this month, Kody seemingly backs Robyn’s accounts of what transpired during that time as well.”

“If your wife’s having an affair, that’s my business no matter what,” Kody screams in the clip.

Part 4 of Sister Wives: 1-on-1 airs on TLC Sunday, February 1, at 10/9c.
