ERIKA Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, shared an emotional video of the activist with their young daughter talking about how the couple first met.
Erika, 36, shared the video just days after Charlie, 31, was assassinated during a debate event on September 10.

The grieving wife posted the throwback video of Charlie and their three-year-old daughter, with the caption: “…my favorite love story.”
In the video, Charlie’s daughter is sitting on his lap at Bill’s Burgers in New York City.
“So we’re here at Bill’s Burgers in New York City, and right near this very table is the first time Dada met Mama,” Charlie playfully told his daughter.
“And it started as a job interview – and I was asking all these questions, asking all these questions. Philosophy, religion, Jesus,” he said.
Erika was interviewing for a job at Charlie’s nonprofit, Turning Point USA, which helps promote discussion amongst conservatives on college campuses.
She applied for the role in 2018, and later interviewed with Charlie.
In the video, Charlie squeezes his daughter’s cheeks as he continued to tell the couple’s love story.
“And then I realized Mama was beautiful and smart and elegant and Christ-like.
“And so, I said, ‘Forget this job interview, I want to date you!’
“I said, ‘I have enough friends.’ And that’s where your journey started.”
Charlie proposed to Erika in December 2020, and the couple got married less than a year later in May 2021.
The couple share a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son together.
Charlie was assassinated while hosting a debate event with Turning Point USA at Utah Valley University.
Erika spoke publicly about her husband’s death on Friday, two days after he was shot.

“The world is evil. But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. He…He is so good. I will never have the words. Ever,” she wrote.
“The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry. I have no idea what any of this means. But baby I know you do and so does our Lord.”
Attached to the lengthy dedication is a carousel of photos of Charlie with Erika and their children.

“They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea. You. All of you. Will never. Ever. Forget my husband @charliekirk1776 I’ll make sure of it.
“Rest in the arms of our Lord baby as He blankets you with the words I know your heart always strived to hear, ‘well done My good and faithful servant.’”
