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

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been nearly 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.

Lorrana Merrifield: I’m Sticking with My Husband After His Arrest!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Just over a month ago, Garrick Merrifield was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

One might think this would mean his alleged victim would no longer wish to be married to the Seeking Sister Wife star.

But one would be mistaken, as it turns out, for making this assumption.

(TLC)

Late last year, Lorrana Merrifield — who welcomed a daughter named Sarah with Garrick in July — confirmed via social media that she was sticking by her spouse’s side… despite some rather horrific allegations surrounding the polygamist.

“Moving forward with faith, gratitude, and hope for a new year of blessings,” Lorrana captioned a carousel of kiss-filled proposal pictures of her and Garrick just before the calendar flipped a few days ago.

She added, “Happy 2026.”

Garrick, who shares three kids with first wife Dannielle, was taken into custody on November 24.

(TLC)

According to TMZ around this time, the affidavit for the reality star’s arrest warrant stated that Lorrana told police that Garrick took her phone away during an argument because she threatened to call the cops on him.

She also alleged that Garrick not only refused to allow her to contact her family in Brazil… but that he also threatened to call Immigration & Customs Enforcement on her and have her deported.

The relatively new mother added in her discussion with authorities that someone had disconnected the Wi-Fi in the family’s home at the time of the incident — and that she suspected Garrick may have done this to further prevent her from making outside communication.

Garrick went on to post bond out of jail on the same day of his arrest, while a mandatory protective order was issued days later, preventing the TLC personality from making contact with his second wife.

We cannot verify if that protective order is still in place or if it was only temporary.

Either way, it appears as if he’ll remain married to two women in the wake of this incident.

The polarizing star, who seemingly just wants multiple wives so he can sleep with as many women as possible, has not spoken out in public about his arrest.

He is due back in court on January 6 for a status conference in his case.

And he seems to suck a whole lot.
