A persistent online rumor claimed that Erika Kirk was pregnant with her and Charlie Kirk’s third child after his assassination in September 2025. The claim circulated across social media platforms, including Facebook posts and a parody X account, with iterations appearing in October 2025 and January 2026. Posts featured images purportedly showing ultrasound photos or Kirk crying over a gravestone and often linked to advertisement-filled stories. No verifiable evidence confirmed a pregnancy, and Kirk did not publicly confirm being pregnant following her husband’s death.
