Dropped a bombshell
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.
“Anyone whom I have hugged, that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say, ‘God bless you,’” she said. “Whoever is hating on a hug needs a hug themselves.”
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.’”
