In an interview with Megyn Kelly during her Arizona tour on November 24, Erika addressed the moment and the rumors that followed. She acknowledged that many people closely analyzed her body language and the interaction between her and Vance, sparking widespread debate online.

"Please. So for those of you who know me, I never. Whoever is like hating on a hug who needs a hug themselves, I will give you a free hug anytime you want to hug. My love language is touch, if you will."

Erika, while describing the whole situation 'play by play', further said, "I'm walking over, he's walking over. I'm starting to cry. He says he's so proud of you. And I say, God bless you. And I touch the back of his head."

"Anyone whom I have hugged that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say, God bless you. That's just me. If you want to take that out of context, go right ahead again. That, to me, shows that you need a hug more than anyone else."

IS ERIKA KIRK PREGNANT?

Erika’s recent emotional revelation about wanting to be pregnant on the day Charlie was killed has triggered a social media storm with many slamming the grieving widow speculating about her pregnancy. In the viral video, she explained that in the midst of overwhelming grief and shock, she prayed she was carrying his child as it would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.


In a candid conversation with Megyn Kelly, the Turning Point USA CEO reflected on the profound pain and loss Charlie’s death brought into their lives. When Kelly asked her, "How many kids did you want to have with Charlie?" Erika, who shared two children with Charlie, spoke her heart out saying we wanted to have four.

"We wanted to have four. And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. I know. I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe," Erika said

"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 expand our family."
