In a world where everything is put on social media, where everything is constantly being posted and being talked about, we made a decision, my wife and I, to keep one thing rather private. And I\u2019ll tell you, it was not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n Kirk and Frantzve\u2019s son was born in May 2024, with the political commentator once again announcing the news via Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cGlory be to God for the birth of our Son!
