Erika Kirk has gone viral after online rumors falsely claimed she was dating someone new following the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, who was killed in September last year during a rally in Utah. Since his death, she has taken over as CEO of Turning Point USA and remained active in public life.
A post from an X account alleged Erika was in a relationship with Blake Wynn, a friend of her late husband, and even claimed they were seen together at a Beverly Hills hotel. The rumor quickly spread online.
Erika strongly denied the claims, calling them completely false and stating she was not at the location mentioned. She said she was at home in Arizona celebrating her son’s birthday and added that Charlie’s memory and faith remain central in her life. She also criticized the spread of false information and urged the account behind the rumor to stop.
Blake Wynn also responded, denying any romantic involvement and calling the claims untrue.
The rumor has since been widely disputed by both parties.
