Turns out, Erika Kirk had a brief moment on Summer House Season 3 back in 2019.
Apparently, Erika, who wasn’t yet “Erika Kirk,” was in New York with a friend and ran into Carl Radke. They actually went on a double date together with Carl’s then-housemate Jordan Verroi.
“[Erika] wanted me to date the friend, and I said she should take a look at my friend, Jordan,” Carl recalled. “They went on a date or two … The whole thing is kind of insane.”
Summer House’s Carl Radke spoke about Erika Kirk once appearing on the Bravo show
In a June 9 interview with Variety, Carl also claimed that he was “advised to not really talk about” Erika’s Bravo history.
“It doesn’t have to deal with me,” he said. “But all roads lead to Bravo.”
Following her brief appearance on Summer House, Erika later married conservative activist Charlie Kirk in 2021. The couple welcomed two children before he was shot and killed in September 2025.
In the wake of her husband’s death, Erika assumed his duties as the CEO of Turning Point USA.
“I didn’t ask for this, [but] it’s obviously a blessing,” she at a CBS News Townhall in December 2025. “I view it as a blessing [and] a duty to my husband, but I was very happy being a stay-at-home mom. There’s nothing wrong with being a mother. There’s actually [no] more beautiful and emotional and powerful job title if you will [than] being a mother.”
“For me, I experienced what it was like living in New York and experiencing that ‘boss babe’ culture,” she continued. “When I met Charlie and we had our babies, I was in it. That was all hands on deck. I would take that world in a heartbeat. Stepping into this role … is something that I’m very passionate about. [Turning Point USA] is still a living, breathing version of my husband.”
“The staff and employees are not just staff and employees, they’re family,” she concluded. “For me, it’s a lot different and a lot deeper than a career. This is very personal.”
Summer House is now streaming on Peacock.
