In a whirlwind of social media gossip, a TikTok clip sparked wild rumors that Erika Kirk had divorced her late husband, Charlie Kirk, just days before his shocking death. The clip, shared by a MAGA supporter, boldly claimed that conservative influencer Candace Owens had "irrefutable evidence" of their legal split. "Just this morning, Candace Owens released irrefutable evidence and documentation that Charlie Kirk and Erika Kirk filed for a disillusionment with marriage, two days before his assassination. There are actual text messages, back and forth between Erika and Charlie…" the video quoted. Owens herself did share some text messages involving Charlie Kirk. But she used them to talk about possible cover-up theories related to Charlie’s tragic assassination on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University—not to prove a divorce. When critics, including TPUSA executives, said it was wrong to question the assassination while Erika was grieving, Owens fired back with a sharp reply: "What sort of widow wouldn't want people to investigate the assassination of their husband? She has not explicitly said that. But the influencers are invoking that, right?" Interestingly, Erika Kirk has stayed silent on these divorce claims, keeping her focus where it matters most. The full video that sparked the rumors was later proven fake, as the TikTok user who spread the tale admitted it wasn’t true and Owens never said anything about a separation. Charlie Kirk was a heavyweight in conservative activism, founding Turning Point USA and inspiring many with his bold political voice. His unexpected death shook many. Yet, the honoring didn’t end there. On October 14, 2025, President Donald Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk. Erika stepped forward to accept it for her husband, sharing a touching moment and heartfelt words: "Thank you, Mr. President, for honoring my husband in such a profound and meaningful way… Everything that Charlie built, you guys are the legacy holders of that. You are living proof that his mission did not die with him. It lives through you." Erika described the Medal of Freedom as the "best birthday gift" Charlie could have received and showed deep love for their daughter. Despite the online noise, Erika Kirk remains fully focused on preserving Charlie Kirk’s bright legacy. Both she and Candace Owens have firmly denied any divorce, putting rumors to rest for good.
