Erika Kirk has shut down rumors that she has a new boyfriend eight months after her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot at age 31.
In a Thursday post on X, Project Constitution claimed that Erika, 31, was spotted with Blake Wynn, the nephew of casino mogul Steve Wynn, at the Beverly Hills hotel earlier this month. The account alleged that the pair was seen “hugging and kissing.”
However, Erika has denied these claims in a Thursday statement on X. “Every single word here is a lie,” she directly responded to the post. “Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime. The Lord is the only one who can ever fill that most painful void.”
“On May 14th I was home in Arizona celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday. Blake (who is about to be engaged to his longtime gf) was a dear friend of my husband’s and I am grateful for his continued support, just like hundreds of others.”
She continued: “Your deranged obsession with me and blatant disregard for any form of truth whatsoever is deeply disturbing and I am praying you get the help you so clearly need. Brush off the Dorito dust and go touch grass.”
The controversial X account asked Erika to send “a picture with meta data from that day” or something that would show where she was May 14.
Meanwhile, Wynn stepped in to deny the romance rumors, responding on X: “I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the cesspool of bots and X users that spend their entire day making things up under the guise of journalism, but I am not dating Erika Kirk.”
Charlie was shot and killed at age 31 during a TPUSA speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. He was the father of two children, a son and a daughter, with Erika.
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah resident accused of killing the MAGA commentator, has been charged with aggravated murder. He faces multiple charges in the case, including felony discharge of a firearm, witness tampering and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.
Robinson’s preliminary hearing was recently moved to July 6 through July 10, due to the massive volume of evidence still being reviewed in the high-profile death penalty case.
Erika has risen to prominence in Republican media circles since her husband’s death last year. She has taken over Turning Point USA and continued to promote its message of conservative Christian views.
Earlier this month, she shared a tribute to Charlie on what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary. “When I stood at that altar with you, we made a covenant with God. Two becoming one with the Lord Himself at the center of our vows, binding us under the eternal,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a montage of videos with Charlie. “I always deeply understood the sanctity of marriage, we both did, but now that you’re in Heaven God has stepped into the ache of your absence. He hasn’t left me, nor forsaken me.”
“Even though our kids won’t see our love ‘grow old together’ from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one. And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can,” she continued.
