Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, once appeared on the Bravo series Summer House.
Erika, 36, who was then known by her maiden name Erika Frantzve, made a cameo in the 11th episode of the show’s third season.
She filmed her segment at a New York City bar in the summer of 2018, though the episode did not air until the spring of 2019.
A clip of her appearance has since surfaced on TikTok in the wake of her spouse’s September 10 assassination at the age of 31 at Utah Valley University.
On the show, Jordan Verroi, 36, was trying to set Erika up with his roommate Carl Radke, 40, who said that the future wife of the political activist was ‘beautiful and she happens to be religious.’
On the series, Radke commented that Erika might have been a better match for Verroi, who was outspoken about his devotion to Christianity during his time on the program.

Verroi did make clear his attraction to Erika on the show, at one point praising her ‘beautiful blonde hair, her smile’ and ‘her radiance’ in a confessional segment.
Verroi also said that Erika‘s ‘outward beauty and inner beauty’ marked everything he’s been looking for in a partner.
Erika and Jordan seemingly hit it off with the common ties of faith as they went out on a date in the show, as Erika told Jordan that he represented ‘a bright light in a very dark place.’
In spite of the chemistry, the two did not appear to continue to see one another when the cameras were off.
Erika would later go on to meet Charlie Kirk in the fall of 2018 in the pair would marry in May 2021. The pair welcomed two kids, ages three and one.
The Summer House episode Erika appeared on had aired in May of 2019; amid that timeframe, Erika said on social media that she declined a full-time role on the series as she was attending Liberty University and pursuing a juris master’s degree.
Following her graduation from the educational institution, Erika took to Instagram and explained her state of mind in choosing education over the limelight.
‘To the [people] that sent me insane amounts of encouragement & prayer as I silently pursued this degree,’ she wrote. ‘And made my own career sacrifices (like turning down being a cast member for @bravotv Summer House & other various TV show opportunities).’

Erika took to Instagram two years ago with a post commemorating how her relationship with the Turning Point USA cofounder began in the Big Apple.
She wrote: ‘5 years ago today, we sat inside Bills Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, “I’m going to date you.”
‘Dating with intention to marry is way different than dating to ‘see where it goes.’ Let God write your love story.’
Erika Kirk on Friday vowed that she would continue to spread her husband’s message after his passing, with a special message for the ‘evildoers’ implicated in his murder.
‘If you thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,’ she said in a Fox News segment. ‘You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country, and this world.’
