Is a video showing Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk saying "I will never marry anyone else" after his death authentic? No, that's not true: The video is likely AI generated. Erika Kirk has spoken publicly once since her husband was shot and killed on September 10, 2025. In that appearance, she did not say she would never marry anyone else, as video and a transcript of her speech shows. There are no credible news reports of her making the declaration.
The statement appeared in a September 15, 2025 video posted on TikTok (archived here) on the @celebflicker account with the title "Charlie Kirk's wife says she wants to personally care for their children.". It opened with an image that appears to be Erika Kirk saying:
I will never marry anyone else in this lifetime.
This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

The video opens with what looks like Erika Kirk speaking but only for the first sentence, the rest of the clip has only the audio purporting to be Erika over videos that are of her family and Charlie that are publicly available.
According to the video and transcript of Erika's live speech that was posted to the Turning Point USA YouTube account (archived here) on September 12, 2025, she never said the phrase, "I will never marry anyone else in this lifetime." She spoke two days after her husband was shot and killed on the Utah Valley University campus on September 10, 2025.
In the video posted on TikTok, Erika is wearing a black shirt and has her hair half up in a knot in the back of her head, as this screenshot shows:

In her September 12, 2025, speech posted on the Turning Points USA YouTube page, Erika Kirk is wearing a black blouse with a cream blazer and her hair is down straight and parted in the middle as this screenshot shows:

Had Erika Kirk stated that she would never marry anyone else in this lifetime, that would have been a major news story. A Google search found no actual news reports of Erika making the declaration. Similarly, the Yahoo! News index of partner news sites and news services (archived here) showed no evidence-based news reports that Charlie Kirk's wife vowed never to re-marry.
