The internet became all about the Kirks once again- as Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk shared a wholesome video online on her marriage anniversary– remembering her love story and marital journey that she shared with her late husband, Charlie Kirk. The emotional throwback began with the moment that started it all- Charlie on one knee and Erika in tears- and ended with their kiss after the “I Do” at their wedding. Erika’s post also centred around the couple’s kids, who “won’t see” the couple’s “love grow old together from an earthly stand point”, but will form a “heavenly one.”The clip also had the kids remembering their father- as the background was an audio of the family assuring each other of being loved.“Even though our kids won’t see our love ‘grow
old together’ from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one. And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life,” Erika wrote in the caption.Notably, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed in September 2025 while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot in the neck during his first stop of a 14-city “American Comeback Tour” at UVU. A prominent Trump supporter, Charlie, was also a key figure in the Republican Party’s populist conservatism, particularly in engaging young voters through social media and campus events. He had co-founded Turning Point USA at the age of 18 in 2012.Check out the viral post:The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the handle ‘MrsErikaKirk’.
