Former Nickelodeon star Carlos PenaVega and his wife Alexa have compared the legacy of their stillborn daughter to that of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed in 2025. The couple, who lost their fourth daughter Indy in April 2024, made the remarks while reflecting on grief online.
Speaking about how a person's legacy can grow after death, Carlos said: 'I think what's been amazing is that Taven, and then even our Indy, and then even recently, Charlie Kirk. Like these guys, their lives have been so much more impactful after.' Alexa explained they had befriended another couple whose 10-year-old son Taven had died.
Kirk, a right-wing social media personality, was assassinated in September 2025 at a Turning Point USA convention. President Donald Trump attended his memorial and called him a 'martyr.' The PenaVegas announced Indy's stillbirth in a statement, saying: 'After a beautiful and peaceful delivery our daughter Indy was born at rest.'
Carlos added: 'I look at my life, and I go if this ceiling were to fall on me right now... I want to make sure whatever happens to me, that when I do go, man, it would be awesome that my life is as impactful, if not more, afterwards.' The couple have three other children.
