Erika Kirk has spoken publicly about her husband on numerous occasions following his death in September.
The right-wing activist, 31, was shot dead on a Utah university campus while hosting an event at the venue.
Currently charged with Kirk’s death and awaiting trial is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, whose next hearing appears to be in January.
It took officials 33 hours to identify and arrest Robinson, who investigators have claimed had become ‘more political’ in recent years.
Kirk’s funeral was held at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, and in attendance were President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk, and other influential figures.
Erika joined the President on stage, as the pair spoke about the devastating loss.

Erika Kirk interviews
The mom-of-two has given numerous interviews following the death of her husband, in which she has been very candid about the moment she found out Kirk had been shot.
Speaking about her grief, she said: “One day you’re collapsed on the floor crying out the name Jesus in between labored breaths.
“The next you’re playing with your children in the living room, surrounded by family photos, and feeling a rush of something you can only attempt to define as divinely planted and bittersweet joy as a smile breaks through on your face.”

Speaking about the brutal video that circulated of her husband’s violent death, she noted: “I never saw the video, I never will see it, I never want to see it.
“There’s certain things you see in your life that you can never unsee, there’s certain things you see that mark your soul forever, and I don’t want my husband’s public assassination to be something I ever see.”
The 37-year-old added: “I don’t want my kids to ever see that.
“And for the people who actually enjoy watching that, which is quite literally sick, what if that was your father? Or your brother, sister, there’s a perspective shift there.
“We’re human, life is fragile. And there is so much beauty in the world, why would you spend time looking at something so evil?”
