Celebrated their wedding anniversary in May

Charlie Kirk leaves behind his wife, Erika Frantzve, and their two young children — a three-year-old daughter and a 16-month-old son. The couple had only celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May.

According to social media posts from Kirk, the two tied the knot in May 2021 in what Frantzve described as a “very intimate” ceremony in Arizona. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen, and Frantzve revealed she didn’t even have a bachelorette party.

Reflecting on weddings in a February post last year, Frantzve wrote:

“If you’re newly engaged and feeling the rush and pressure of preparing for the ‘big day,’ slow down. It’s one day; yes it marks a new chapter of life. Yes, it symbolizes a special covenant between you, your husband and the Lord.”

Erika Kirk is businesswoman, podcaster, philanthropist, and real estate agent at the Corcoran Group in New York City.

She previously held the title of Miss Arizona USA in 2012 and has described her upbringing as part of a tight-knit Catholic family. She attended Arizona State University, double-majoring in political science and international relations.
