"Oh, wow," Kelly responded. "I thought of that once. Whether it was meant to be or whether we'd get news like that."
Erika continued: "I was like, oh, goodness, that was going to be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe."
Charlie, founder of Turning Point USA and one of the most visible conservative activists in the country, was shot and killed in September while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Excited To Expand Family
Erika said she wanted 'four' children with Kirk.
Erika then encouraged young women not to wait to start having children.
She said: "When I see young couples, I tell them, 'Please, don't put it off.' Especially if you're a young woman. Don't put it off, you can always have a career, you can always, you know, go back to work.
"You can never just go back to having children. And they grow so fast and so quickly.
"I was praying. Both of us were. We were just excited to just expand our family."
Kelly told her: "Thank God you have the two. Thank God."
"A boy and girl. I know," Erika said, adding that one day they will understand their father's public role.
Kelly said: "One day they'll find out they're Charlie Kirk's children and they'll know what that means," drawing applause from the crowd.
Friday’s interview marked one of Erika Kirk's most personal public comments since her husband's assassination.
Promise To Keep Kirk's Memory Alive
Erika vowed to educate her children so they will understand their father's public role.
Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for Kirk's murder. Authorities say he turned himself in shortly after the shooting.
Kirk's memorial service, held at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, drew President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and a wide range of Republican officials and influencers.
