As you’ve almost certainly heard by now, Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin’s bullet during a speaking engagement in Utah on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old was struck in the neck and transported to a nearby hospital, where he was initially reported to be in critical but stable condition.
Less than an hour later, however, President Donald Trump announced that Kirk had passed away.
Now, amid frantic posts about the rising tide of political violence in America, thousands of social media users have offered condolences and expressed concern for Charlie’s wife, Erika Kirk, and their two children.
Erika has been hinting at a major announcement on social media
On her Instagram page, where she has nearly 2 million followers, Erika has been hinting that she intends to make a big announcement on September 16.
Obviously, her life has been entirely upended by the events of the past 24 hours, and if the announcement was related to a development in her career, then those plans have likely been scrapped.
But many of Erika’s followers believe that she was preparing to announce that she’s pregnant with her third child.
“Walk the countdown with us,” Erika captioned an Instagram video post last week.
On the video itself, she wrote, “What if childhood could hold eternity?” followed by the words “15 days.”
“I don’t know if anyone else follows Erika Kirk on Instagram, but she’s been [doing] a countdown and I think her and Charlie are pregnant with baby number 3,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).
“I thought the same thing! This is beyond devastating,” another user replied.
The comments on Erika’s Instagram posts were loaded with similar speculation.
But again, we have no way of knowing, and Erika’s planned announcement could have pertained to any number of things.
Charlie Kirk’s family mourns loss of 31-year-old husband and father
Erika is a former model and NCAA women’s basketball player at Regis University who was crowned Miss Arizona in 2012.
In recent years, the 36-year-old has worked as a ministry leader.
She currently hosts the “Midweek Rise-Up” podcast, and she is studying for her doctorate in Biblical studies at Liberty University.
“From New York City to China, Erika has worked in the entertainment industry as a model, actress, and casting director, all while remaining grounded in her Christian faith. Her bold spirit and belief in God’s guidance have propelled her to pursue various impactful ventures,” reads a bio on Erika’s website (per the New York Post).
“Above all, Erika cherishes her role as the wife of Charlie Kirk and the mother of their precious son and daughter,” the bio continues.
In 2019, Erik launched Proclaim Streetwear, a clothing line inspired by her religious beliefs, and she later spearheaded the Bible in 365 project, which encourages individuals to read the Bible daily.
She also founded Everyday Heroes Like You, an initiative designed to call attention to under-recognized charities and service organizations.
Erika and Charlie married in 2021. They welcomed two children together, a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
She posted a message reading, “Psalm 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” just hours before her husband’s death.
Erika was reportedly present at the Utah Valley University event where her husband was shot and killed.
She has not yet responded publicly to the tragic events of Wednesday.
Our thoughts go out to Erika and her loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

As you may have previously heard, Taylor Frankie Paul just made history.
Already a lead cast member on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the reality star was named by ABC this week as the anchor of The Bachelorette Season 22.
She’s the first person in history with over four million TikTok followers to land the prestigious role.
We also believe she’s the first Bachelorette in history to be divorced due to a swinging scandal.
The thing is, though, Paul has already established herself as a critical player on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives … which returns on November 13 with all-new Season 3 episodes.
Will she really juggle both jobs?
Or should fans of the Hulu series (which chronicles the VERY interesting and turbulent lives of a bunch of women in Utah) prepare themselves for Taylor’s departure?
“People are obsessed with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, “host Alex Cooper said to Paul on the September 10 episode of her podcast Call Her Daddy. “Can we confirm that you’re still going to be on that show?”
Taylor responded yes before Cooper clarified that she’s “doing both” shows, to which Paul confirmed again with a quick “yeah.”
So there we have it. Taylor Frankie Paul will be pulling double duty in the near future.
“It has not hit me,” Taylor also said on the podcast of being tagged as The Bachelorette. “Right now, in this moment, I’m just thinking about it, and it’s not real. It’s not real. It’s not going to be until the limo’s pulling up, and I’m meeting the people.”
Paul is a mother of three.
Sh shares kids Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5, with ex Tate Paull and Ever, 13 months, with ex Dakota Mortensen; the latter was featured prominently on Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
The series generally follows the aftermath of Paul’s marriage ending, leading her to expose that a group of friends from MomTok were “soft-swinging” and “had an arrangement” together.
Likely the most controversial member of the #MomTok community, Paul has made headlines in the past for her participation in various sex parties.
She announced her divorce in a May 2022 livestream, which followed the reveal that she and her ex-husband were swingers.
In February of 2023, meanwhile, Taylor was arrested and charged with three misdemeanors; she booked at the time for assault, criminal mischief, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
Scroll down, meanwhile, for how ABC teased the new Bachelorette in a press release.
The 31-year-old Utah native is ready to trade headline-making heartbreak for hometown dates as she begins making her mark on Bachelor Nation.
[Taylor] is the breakout star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, captivating millions with her raw, unapologetic storytelling. Off-screen, she’s a TikTok powerhouse whose comedic, heartwarming and bitingly honest content has earned her a massive following.
As a single mother of three, [Taylor] shares the highs and lows of her life with unfiltered candor.
With humor, resilience and a fearless openness, she inspires others to embrace life’s chaos and own their story.
The network has not yet released a premiere date for The Bachelorette Season 22.

Is Selena Gomez pregnant?
Before we know it, she’ll have married Benny Blanco.
Selena is a wonderful person and would be an amazing mom.
Fans want to know about her pregnancy plans — and if she’s already expecting Baby #1.
Will Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have kids?
Selena Gomez wants to be a mom.
This is not a secret. She loves kids. When she first rose to fame, many of her fans were kids and tweens.
Selena began her career as an actress as a child actor.
Even before Disney, she appeared on Barney & Friends.
Additionally, Selena has a younger sibling, Gracie.
She has spoken more than once about her love of children.
Selena and fiance Benny Blanco have both spoken of their desire to become parents together after they marry.
Is Selena pregnant?
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s desire to become parents together may have some complications.
Despite their active sex life, pregnancy may be ill-advised to downright impossible.
As we reported earlier this year, an insider told Life & Style:
“Selena has been advised against pregnancy because of her health issues, but there’s no reason they can’t welcome a child via surrogacy.”
Additionally, Selena and Benny have reportedly “talked about adoption as well.”
The insider at the time added:
“Whatever they choose, surrogacy or adoption, it’s going to take a lot more planning and time than simply doing it the old-fashioned way.”
Having a child is a momentous decision under any circumstances.
There are new, different considerations when it might involve a gestational carrier or adoption.
She has spoken about this multiple times
In September 2024, Selena Gomez spoke directly to Vanity Fair about how her health and safety would be in jeopardy if she attempted to become pregnant naturally.
But she repeatedly affirmed her love of children and her desire to become a parent.
That will be an adventure for her and for Benny.
But we’re sure that they’ll want to spend some time as newlyweds before they add a new, tiny human to the mix.

On Wednesday, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University.
Two men were arrested at the scene, but both were later released.
It’s nearly impossible to imagine that a gunman could escape such a crowded scene, but now a frantic search is underway, and the shooter responsible for Kirk’s death is still at large.
Earlier today, the FBI asked for the public’s help in apprehending their person of interest.
FBI reveals new details regarding person of interest in Charlie Kirk shooting
The Salt Lake City branch of the FBI posted a photo of the person they’re seeking for questioning in connection with the shooting.
“We are asking for the public’s help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the agency wrote on X and Instagram, alongside two grainy security camera photos.
The images appear to show a man in a hat and sunglasses climbing a flight of stairs.
The location of the photos has not been revealed, but they were likely taken on the campus where Kirk was killed.
In a separate post, the agency wrote that it is “offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.”
Onlookers have reported seeing a person running across the rooftop of a nearby building in the moments after the shooting, but those statements have yet to be corroborated by law enforcement.
Social media users believe the person of interest’s shirt is emblazoned with an American flag and a bald eagle, alongside text reading, “The land of the free and the home of the brave.”
That also has not been confirmed by law enforcement.
Authorities say they discovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle in a nearby wooded area in the aftermath of the shooting.
President Donald Trump addressed the situation this afternoon as he left the White House to attend tonight’s New York Yankees-Detroit Tigers game.
He stated that law enforcement officials are “making great strides” in their investigation.
“They’re very talented people,” Trump said. “Let’s see what happens. We hope they can do it soon.”
He also revealed plans to attend Kirk’s funeral.
“They’ve asked me to go, and I think have an obligation to be there,” Trump said, according to Yahoo News.
Earlier today, Trump revealed that he intends to award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Tyler Baltierra knows what some people are saying about him out there.
And he’s not about to sit back and simply take it.
Two weeks after the Teen Mom cast member told the public he had been diagnosed with autism, Baltierra and wife Catelynn Lowell responded to comments they had seen accusing him of faking his diagnosis.
“I don’t know what’s going on,” Tyler said on the September 10 episode of his and Catelynn’s Cate & Ty Break It Down podcast.
“Society is either losing empathy, we are getting hardened. I don’t know what’s happening. The comments were so appalling.”
Referencing various remarks claiming he didn’t actually have autism but instead was “just an a–hole” or “narcissistic,” Tyler expressed how disheartening it was to see such criticism.
“What do I gotta do? Pull out my whole report and show it to you?” Tyler asked listeners.
“Have we gotten here to society where we’re, instead of saying, ‘Oh wow. Can you explain more about that?’ Or, ‘What is that like?’ You’re gonna question people’s diagnosis? You’re going to literally shame them for having it, tell them that they’re liars for having it? What is going on?”
In late August, Tyler explained on this same podcast that he was “ADHD hyper” as a child and was recently diagnosed as being on the spectrum, adding:
“It’s just the way my brain works Instead of trying to fix it, let’s just try to live with this thing and I think knowing this information makes me better aware.”
As many may recall, Tyler also received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder several years ago.
Of the backlash he has somehow received ever since telling the world about his autism, Baltierra said this week:
“It’s ableism. It really is.”
Catelyn, for her part, minced no words about the negative commentators in standing up for her long-term spouse.
“If you’re judging anybody because they’re sharing that they have an autism diagnosis,” the 33-year-old, who shares four kids with Tyler, said, “you are a sick, cold-hearted individual.”
We can’t say it any better ourselves.
The thing is, this questioning of Tyler has consequences far beyond being offensive to just one individual.
“You’re not just saying it to me,” Tyler emphasized. “You’re saying about anyone who’s reading these comments who have autism, or any kind of thing.”
Thankfully, it hasn’t all been negative. Said Baltierra said on this new podcast:
“I’ve had private messages of people writing to me and saying, ‘Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this diagnosis publicly and talking about it and just getting people talking about autism.’”
