Erika Kirk is shutting down rumors that she’s moved on with someone new less than one year after husband Charlie Kirk’s death.
Erika, 37, took to X on Thursday, May 28, to respond to a report from Project Constitution claiming that the Turning Point USA CEO “has a new boyfriend” after she was allegedly spotted with Blake Wynn, the nephew of casino mogul Steve Wynn, at the Beverly Hills Hotel on May 14.
“Every single word here is a lie,” Erika wrote. “Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime. The Lord is the only one who can ever fill that most painful void.”
Erika denied being out with Blake in California, adding, “On May 14th, I was home in Arizona celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday. Blake (who is about to be engaged to his longtime gf) was a dear friend of my husband’s, and I am grateful for his continued support, just like hundreds of others.”
Erika concluded by slamming the YouTuber who reported on the rumor.
“Your deranged obsession with me and blatant disregard for any form of truth whatsoever is deeply disturbing, and I am praying you get the help you so clearly need,” she wrote. “Brush off the Dorito dust and go touch grass.”
Erika’s post comes eight months after Charlie was shot and killed at age 31 during a TPUSA speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. Utah man Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, victim targeting enhancement and violence committed in the presence of a child. He has not yet entered a plea. Robinson’s preliminary hearing is set to begin on July 6.
Erika broke her silence on Charlie’s death days after the shooting.
“Charlie loved life. He loved his life, he loved America, he loved nature which always helped him closer to God,” she said in a September 2025 livestream. “He loved the Chicago Cubs and my goodness did he love the Oregon Ducks.”
Erika, who shared two children with Charlie, continued, “Most of all Charlie loved his children and he loved me with all of his heart and I knew that everyday. He made sure I knew that everyday. Everyday he would ask me, ‘How can I serve you better? How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father?’ … He was a such a good man. He still is such a good man. He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband.”
Earlier this month, Erika celebrated what would have been her fifth wedding anniversary with Charlie.
“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,” she wrote via X on May 8. “And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can.”
Erika concluded, “Happy Anniversary to the love of my life.”
