Has Erika Kirk publicly shared her children's names and ages?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Erika Kirk and her late husband Charlie Kirk are publicly known to have two young children: a daughter born in August 2022 and a son born in May 2024; multiple outlets report their ages as about 3 and 1 in late 2025 [1] [2]. Reporting consistently says the family has protected the children’s identities by not publicly sharing their full names or showing their faces on social media [3] [4].
1. What the record says about names and ages
Contemporary reporting is uniform about the children’s ages and birth months: outlets state the Kirks welcomed a daughter in August 2022 and a son in May 2024, making them roughly three and one years old as of late 2025 [1] [5] [2]. Several news organizations summarize those birthdays in the same terms, and profiles and obituaries for Charlie Kirk repeat those dates [4] [6].
2. Have their names been published?
Major mainstream profiles say the family has “kept the names and faces of their children private,” and recount that Charlie and Erika shared glimpses of family life without revealing identifying details [3] [4] [7]. Good Morning America, OPB and Fortune explicitly say names were not publicly shared [2] [3] [4].
3. Discrepancies and a single outlier
Most outlets refrain from publishing names; however, one entertainment-aggregator site (GazetteDirect) lists a daughter’s name as “Sarah Rose” while noting the son’s name remained undisclosed [8]. That is an outlier compared with mainstream reporting, which continues to state that names are private [3] [4]. Readers should treat the GazetteDirect listing as not corroborated by other cited outlets in the provided results (p1_s5 vs. [10]0).
4. How the family communicated privacy choices
Reporters quote Charlie Kirk stating in June 2025 that “We have a girl and a boy, and it’s no one’s business what their names are or their faces,” and note that Erika and Charlie posted family glimpses but deliberately obscured identifying details [7] [8]. Coverage of Erika’s media appearances after her husband’s assassination also emphasizes her requests for privacy—“Can my children have one thing? Can my children have one thing?”—underscoring a public insistence on shielding the kids’ identities [9].
5. Why outlets avoid naming the children
News outlets cite the family’s explicit privacy choices and social-media behavior as the reason for withholding names and faces; major outlets follow that lead rather than publish unverified personal details [3] [4]. This restraint reflects editorial norms about protecting young children whose parents have publicly stated a preference for privacy [2].
6. What reporting does and does not confirm
Available sources consistently confirm the children’s birth months/years and approximate ages (daughter Aug. 2022, son May 2024)—these details appear across multiple mainstream outlets [1] [5] [4]. Sources also consistently state that names and faces have been kept private [3] [4]. The claim that the daughter is named “Sarah Rose” appears only in one provided source and lacks corroboration in the other reporting in this dataset [8]. No provided source documents the son’s name in a way that multiple outlets confirm [8] [3].
7. Implications for readers and researchers
If you need to cite the children’s identities for reporting or research, rely on the widely corroborated facts (birth months/years and parents’ privacy stance) and note that names are not publicly confirmed by mainstream outlets [2] [3] [4]. Treat single-source name attributions as unverified unless corroborated by additional reputable reporting [8]. Outlets’ consistent framing shows an implicit editorial agenda of respecting the family’s stated privacy and avoiding amplifying unverified personal details [3] [4].
Limitations: this analysis uses only the provided search results and does not reflect any reporting outside them; if you want definitive confirmation of a name, available sources in this dataset do not include multiple mainstream confirmations of any child’s name [3] [4] [8].
