Savannah Chrisley compares Charlie Kirk’s wife to Jackie Kennedy following his death
'The epitome of a God-fearing, loving person, woman and mother'
Savannah Chrisley has reflected on the “poise” of Erika Kirk following the death of her husband Charlie Kirk, and compared her to Jackie Kennedy.
Savannah has previously spoken about how “heartbroken” she was about his death in a previous post, sharing: “One of those people that brought me into that world was Charlie Kirk—someone who gave me a voice as a woman, made me feel like I had the power to show up in this world.”
“He believed in me and in my family when the world turned its back. He saw potential, he spoke life into us, and he reminded me that God still had a plan even when I couldn’t see it myself. That kind of belief changes you forever.”
“I was supposed to be standing next to him at every college this October. Instead, I sit here with a broken heart, devastated beyond words.”
On her Unlocked podcast episode yesterday, Savannah Chrisley opened up more about her close personal and professional relationship with Charlie and Erika Kirk.
She explained: “Charlie gave me a voice to share my story, and I will forever be grateful for that. I can’t help but think of Erika and the kids.”
She then shared that she’d texted Erika Kirk after the shooting happened and had looked at messages that the wife of Charlie had previously sent her.
In June, Erika had messaged her, writing: “I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. I told your mom backstage you have a massive anointing on your life. Great job tonight.
“Just wanted to share these super sweet photos with you. God bless you. Continue to fix your eyes on Jesus. I’m very proud of you. If you need anything don’t ever hesitate to reach out.”
Savannah then described Erika as “the epitome of a God-fearing, loving person, woman, mother, “adding that “that’s the type of woman that I want to be.”
She also praised her behaviour following her husband’s death, saying: “In her first speech, I was in shock. It was like a Jackie Kennedy moment. She was so poised.”
She added in a seperate social media caption: “I’m so blessed to have known Charlie. While the pain feels unbearable, I know the enemy will not silence what God has already set in motion.
“Now, it’s on us, not only to keep his voice alive, but to lift up Erika as she carries his torch. She is our modern day Jackie Kennedy: a woman of strength, grace, and resilience in the face of unthinkable loss.”
