Erica Kirk has denied rumors of an affair with Blake Wynn, the nephew of casino magnate Steve Wynn, saying her late husband's "love will last my entire life.".
On May 28, Project Constitution reported on X that 37-year-old Erica was seen with Blake on May 14, 2026, at the "ultra-exclusive, invitation-only bar 1912 in a very intimate setting." However, Erica insists that she was at home on May 14, 2026, celebrating her son's second birthday with Charlie.
Erica denied all allegations of a new romance (YouTube).
«"Every word here is a lie. Charlie's love will be with me forever. Only God can fill this painful void," Erica wrote on X, adding that Blake was Charlie's "dear friend" and had been in a long-term relationship with him.
«"I'm grateful for his continued support, as are hundreds of others," Erica said, calling the "crazy obsession" with her life "deeply disturbing" and adding, "I pray that you get the help you so clearly need.".
Blake also used X's website to refute these claims.
Charlie and Eerik got married in 2021 and have two children (Instagram).
Charlie, a conservative commentator and right-wing activist, was shot and killed in Utah on Wednesday, September 10, during a public event at Southern Utah University.
A 31-year-old man was shot and killed 20 minutes into his campus speech; Tyler Robinson was arrested after surrendering to authorities following a more than 30-hour manhunt.

Charlie was a close ally of Donald Trump, and the president praised his contributions to attracting young voters to the Republican Party through the creation of Turning Point USA.
Charlie and Erica met in 2018 at a Turning Point USA event and married in 2021 in a small ceremony in Arizona. They called their marriage an "Ephesians 5 marriage," referring to the biblical verse calling for women to submit to their husbands and for men to love and cherish their wives as Christ loved the Church.
Erica, 36, was crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2012 and studied political science and international relations at Arizona State University before earning a master's degree in law from the conservative Christian college Liberty University in 2017. Erica completed her doctorate in Christian leadership in 2022.

However, despite Erica's own educational achievements and her decision to take the position of CEO of Turning Point USA, both Charlie and Erica were encouraged women to enter college solely for the purpose of obtaining a "Mrs. diploma,", which means "find a husband" in slang.
Two months before his death, Charlie told a 14-year-old interested in political journalism, "It's interesting, I think it makes sense to bring back the 'Mrs.' And just know why you're going to college, right?" Don't fool yourself like, "I'm going, I'm studying sociology.". No, you're not studying, we know why you're here. And that's okay! In fact, that's a very good reason to go to college.".
