The couple shared two children, a three-year-old girl and one-year-old boy.
They did, however, have their sights on extending their family in the years they thought they had left together.
In the wake of Kirk’s death, Erika has urged young girls to have a family as soon as possible.
In a recent interview with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Channel, she pleaded with women not to ‘put it off.’
Erika said: “When I see young couples, I tell them please, don’t put it off. Especially if you’re a young woman.
“You can always have a career. You can always go back to work.
“You can never just go back to having children, and they grow so fast and so quickly.”

In the interview, Erika also made a devastating confession about extending their family, and the one wish she had when Kirk died.
She revealed: “We were really excited to just expand our family.
“We wanted to have four.
“And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered… I was like, ‘Oh goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.’”
Kelly responded: “Thank God you have the two.”
