Following the announcement from Loreal Sarkisian about the birth of their first child on the April 3, fans were left baffled by another twist in the crazy rollercoaster of a love story that is the relationship between the Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and his wife.
Best Moments of Steve Sarkisian and Loreal Sarkisian’s Rollercoaster Romance
While many, particularly fans of college football, will be quite aware of who Steve is, there are probably many that don’t know that his wife has a claim to fame herself.
Growing up, Loreal was actually an athlete herself, playing softball and also running and coaching track in College, meaning she also understands the demands of her husband’s job, but her real talent is in the fashion industry. Loreal has been pictured on multiple occasions wearing various outfits when attending her husband’s games.
Loreal has been pictured at the worldwide premier event for fashion, Paris Fashion Week, clad in Louis Vuitton.

While there are no reports indicating how exactly the Longhorns head coach met his wife, the pair most likely met at the University of South California between 2013 and 2015, where Steve was the head football coach, while Loreal was also coaching at the University as an assistant to the track and field team.
Steve married his current wife in 2020, with Loreal releasing a sweet post two years later, celebrating their marriage.
While Loreal and Steve may have welcomed their first child into the world, the Longhorns head coach had three children and was married for 18 years to another woman named Stephanie; however, the two split back in 2015 due to “irreconcilable differences.”
Another confusing part of the detailed tale between the Longhorns head coach and his wife, is the fact the two actually split up for a short period in 2024.
Back in July 2024, the pair announced that they were filing for divorce, claiming that their professional careers made it too difficult for them to spend a sufficient amount of time with each other.
In the past, Loreal had actually gone on record to say what the hardest part of being married to a football head coach was, saying that the main difficulty was balancing both of their lives and careers at the same time.

Despite their apparent divorce, there has never been any actual evidence that the pair split up, apparently reconciling their differences, with Loreal continuing to both attend and post photos from her husband’s games, and also being pictured sporting her engagement ring.
And with the announcement of the birth of their first child, a son, on Friday, which also left fans baffled due to the nature of the announcement, things are once again looking up for Steve and Loreal.
