During her emotional upcoming interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Charlie Kirk‘s widow Erika shares an update on how her two young children are doing, nearly two months after his death.
She says her oldest child — a three-year-old daughter, whose name isn’t public — still asks questions about where her dad is, and when she’ll see him again.
“My daughter continues to ask,” Erika Kirk says.
“But it’s really sweet because I keep explaining to her…I said, ‘If you ever wanna talk to daddy, just look up at the sky and start talking,'” she continues, her eyes filling with tears. “He can hear you.”

Erika Kirk’s full interview with Jesse Watters will air on Fox News on Wednesday (Nov. 5).
How Are Charlie Kirk’s Kids Doing After His Death?
In the first days after his death, Erika acknowledged how tough it was to have conversations with her young daughter about what happened to her dad.
“What do you tell a three-year-old? She’s three,” she explained. “I said, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry. He’s on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget.'”
Kirk’s family continues to remember his life and legacy.
Last week, Erika posted a video of her daughter riding in a car, pointing out posters featuring her dad’s image and saying his name.
“Her…saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies, just changes form,” Erika wrote in the caption of her post.
“And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time Heaven leans in to listen,” she continues.
How Old Are Charlie Kirk’s Kids?
Kirk was a father to a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
Their daughter was born on Aug. 23, 2022. The family welcomed their second child, a boy, on May 14, 2024.
The couple chose not to reveal identifying details about their kids to the public. He addressed that in a June 2025 episode of his show, saying, “We have a girl and a boy and it’s no one’s business what their names are or their faces.”
But they have shared some special moments from their family life.
A month before he died, Kirk and Erika celebrated their daughter’s third birthday.
Erika shared a social media post with some clips of the little girl’s life so far, and she also said her daughter was born following 48 hours of labor and an emergency c-section.
Back in May, Kirk posted a family photo to celebrate his son’s first birthday.
“He has brought an infinite amount of joy and laughter into our lives,” Kirk wrote in that post. “Being a parent is an incredible gift, made far better because I get to do it alongside [Erika Kirk].”
