Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk once appeared on season three of Bravo’s Summer House.
In a resurfaced TikTok video, Erika can be seen on the show, which aired on Bravo in 2019, being set up on a date with housemate Jordan Verroi.
In the clip, Carl is shown telling the cameras that Erika was “beautiful” and “happens to be religious.” Meanwhile, Jordan shared in a confessional that he liked Erika’s “beautiful blonde hair, her smile, her radiance,” and noted that she had “outward beauty and inner beauty.”
Despite appearing on the show, Erika revealed in a 2019 Instagram post that she turned down an opportunity to be a castmember of the series.
In a post marking her receiving her Juris Master in American Legal Studies from Liberty University School of Law with honors at the time Erika wrote, “To the one’s that sent me insane amounts of encouragement & prayer as I silently pursued this degree and made my own career sacrifices (like turning down being a cast member for @bravotv Summer House & other various TV show opportunities).”
Erika and Jordan didn’t seem to date outside of filming and Erika was introduced to Charlie in 2018, whom she later married in 2021. She shared news of their engagement on Dec. 2, 2020 writing, “When God writes your love story, you get to marry your best friend.” The couple share two children.
In September 2023, Erika marked their anniversary by recalling their first meeting writing: “5 years ago today, we sat inside Bills Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, ‘I’m going to date you.’ Dating with intention to marry is way different than dating to ‘see where it goes.’ Let God write your love story.”
Erika recently paid tribute to Charlie who was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University after being shot. The Turning Point USA founder died at age 31.
In her tribute, Erika was shown standing next to an empty chair in which Charlie recorded his podcast. In her message, Erika announced that the movement her husband started would continue on and that Turning Point USA would also continue its campus tour. “The movement my husband built will not die — I refuse to let that happen,” she said.
