A rare and touching video of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has resurfaced, showing him in a tender moment with his young daughter on the set of Fox & Friends Weekend. The clip features Kirk’s three-year-old daughter running excitedly across the studio floor directly into her father’s arms, eliciting a wide, joyful smile from Kirk as he hugged her tightly.
This glimpse of Kirk’s personal side was initially heartwarming, but following his tragic assassination in September 2025 at Utah Valley University, the footage has taken on an even deeper emotional significance. For Kirk and his wife, Erika—who kept their children largely out of the public eye—this intimate moment stands as a poignant reminder that beyond the political fervor was a devoted father.
Kirk’s death, which occurred after he was shot during his popular “prove me wrong” segment, left his family shattered. His wife Erika and their two young children—a daughter and an infant son—now face the difficult aftermath of losing a husband and father. Tributes from across the political spectrum have poured in, including condolences from former President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, who lamented the tragic absence of a father’s voice in his children’s lives.
@cbsnews “What do you tell a 3-year-old?…I said, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry, he’s on a business trip with Jesus.” Mrs. Erika Kirk, wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, delivered her first public remarks since his death, promising to keep his legacy alive: “My husband is still here.” “I am so humbled to witness, Charlie, you alongside Jesus right now, doing what you always want to do, baby — making heaven crowded, right?,” Mrs. Kirk said. #news #charliekirk #utah #arizona #conservative
Kirk’s legacy is marked not only by his influence as a youth conservative leader and founder of Turning Point USA but also by this deeply human and familiar side seen in this cherished family video. His story is a reminder that behind every public figure is a family filled with love, loss, and moments that matter the most.
