Even amid heartbreak, Kirk shared tender moments with those around her.
She explained a now-viral and intimate hug with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance during a memorial, where she touched the back of his head. Social media users dissected every frame of the encounter, suggesting the intimate hug was evidence of something more than friendship.
During the interview with Kelly, Kirk also opened up about a deeply personal hope she had kept private: the desire for another child.
”We wanted to have four,” she shared. “And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered […] I was like, ‘Oh goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.’”
