Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika Frantzve, has been thrust into the spotlight following the conservative activist’s death in September 2025. The former Miss Arizona USA, podcast host, and mom of two has built her own career around her faith.
Learn more about her below.
Erika first came into the public eye after being crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2012. She then went on to represent Arizona at Miss USA that year.
She created and hosts Midweek Rise Up, a podcast where she discusses faith, purpose, and personal growth, often with a Christian perspective.
She founded Every Life Is Worthy (ELIW), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities and advocating for pro-life causes.
Charlie and Erika tied the knot in May 2021. The two had their first date in 2018, she mentioned in an Instagram post in September 2023.
“5 years ago today, we sat inside Bills Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy, and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, ‘I’m going to date you.’ Dating with intention to marry is way different than dating to ‘see where it goes.’ Let God write your love story.”
