Old Video Shows Charlie Kirk And Fiance Erika’s Tender On-Camera Moment: ‘I’m Just Gonna Stare…’

A resurfaced video from The Charlie Kirk Show has gone viral following conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10 at Utah Valley University. Several social media users were touched by a tender exchange between Charlie Kirk and his then-fiance Erika as seen in the clip which has been widely shared on X and Instagram.

The video captures Erika blushing and visibly flustered as Charlie Kirk walks into the room to interview her.

“I’m not going to be able to focus, sitting this close to him,” Erika says nervously, before adding, “I’m just gonna be staring at you, Charlie.”

Charlie Kirk, smiling, tries to move the interview forward but Erika laughs and admits she finds the situation “mortifying.” Eventually, Charlie Kirk introduces

her formally to the camera, saying, “Hey everybody, welcome to this episode of The Charlie Kirk Show. Joining me as the most special guest, my fiancée, Erika. Welcome to the show.”

The video prompted an outpouring of emotional reactions online.

Oh my goodness. How beautiful is this❤️❤️❤️❤️

It just makes me realize all over again her loss and the loss of this nation. How can your heart not cry out for this woman right now😢😢#WeAreCharlieKirkNow #IAMCHARLIEKIRK pic.twitter.com/2SDAcWYkQm

“She was absolutely head over heels for him, and he felt the same,” one user wrote while another added, “May this kind of love find me one day. They were so much in love.”

A third commented, “So beautiful. Their love and admiration is wonderful. The future possibilities of these two together ended in such tragedy. Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking.”

Earlier this week, Erika herself shared another emotional video in which Charlie Kirk was seen telling their young daughter the story of how he and Erika first met. Captioned “my favorite love story,” the clip has been viewed nearly 66 million times and liked more than 4.7 million times. In the video, Charlie Kirk recalls their first meeting at Bill’s Burgers in New York City in 2018, saying the two shared a “very long dinner” and that he knew “almost immediately” Erika was the one. The couple married in 2021.
