Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleCandace Owens has been dominating the headlines for the past few weeks, thanks to her recent death hoax, pregnancy announcement, and most notably, her scathing comment about the late Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk's marriage. While her comment itself set off a firestorm online, the attention has now unexpectedly shifted to Owens' own marriage with her husband, George Farmer.
It all began with a now-viral moment from a recent episode of Owens' show, where the commentator questioned the nature of the relationship between Charlie Kirk and his wife, Eika Kirk. While discussing reports that Charlie and Eika frequently talked about work, plans, and important decisions together, Owens made a personal comparison that grabbed attention.
Contrasting their relationship with her own, the writer said that she couldn't buy the idea that Charlie shared everything about his professional life and work-related plans with Erika. Owens ranted that the very thought of them making long-term plans together as husband and wife was absurd. She argued:
"In no relationship ever...does anybody say, 'I want to make sure you step into my role at work?' Nor do people generally know every bit of what their husband or wife is working on at work."
Candace went on to draw examples from her own marriage, sharing how, despite being in a business together, she cannot describe what George's typical day looks like. She claimed to spend most of her time in the basement with little information about her husband's whereabouts. Owens said:
"My husband and I, we're in a business together. I can't tell you what his day-to-day looks like... I don't know what George does every day. I'm in my basement all day."
Instead of fueling further debate about Erika Kirk, the remark prompted widespread discussion about Owens' marriage to British businessman George Farmer. A user wrote on X, "Candace accidentally revealed that her and George have communication issues...She’s so worried about trying to trash Erika that she doesn’t realize she trashed her own marriage in the process." Another supported Charlie and Erika's bond, saying, "That's the case with most real couples. Candace knows nothing about that." The clip has since circulated widely online, with supporters defending Owens' comments while critics questioned whether she had unintentionally exposed distance within her own relationship.

The viral moment comes as Owens continues making claims about Charlie and Erika Kirk's marriage following Charlie Kirk's assassination in September 2025. In her June 25, 2026, podcast, Owens said she does believe Charlie Kirk and Erika Kirk's marriage was ever authentic. She claimed:
"I do not believe, and I want to be clear here, that his relationship with Erika Kirk was ever real. I am firm on that now."
While she and Erika never really saw eye-to-eye, regarding her latest remarks, Owens said people had come forward with information that strengthened her belief but did not provide documentary evidence during the broadcast. Her claims have not been independently verified, and there is no public evidence supporting the allegation. Regarding the recent criticism, neither Owens nor George Farmer has publicly addressed the social media reaction.
Charlie Kirk became the victim of what has been labeled a political assassination in September 2025. After his death, Erika Kirk became the CEO of Turning Point USA, taking over her late husband's role. Since then, she has consistently dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding both her husband's assassination and their marriage.
Erika has continued to publicly honor Charlie through speeches, interviews, and social media posts while raising their two young children. On May 8, 2026, in what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary, Erika shared an emotional tribute celebrating their life together and previously revealed that the couple had hoped to expand their family.
