Texas Football Coach Steve Sarkisian and Wife Loreal Welcome Baby Boy: A New Chapter for the Longhorns’ First Family

April 5, 2025 – The University of Texas football program has a new reason to celebrate off the field as head coach Steve Sarkisian and his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, welcomed their first child together—a baby boy. The couple shared the heartwarming news on Instagram on April 4, 2025, with Loreal posting a series of maternity shoot photos that captured the joy of the moment. “He’s arrived, and our hearts are so full of love and gratitude!” Loreal wrote in her caption, adding, “Embracing these first days quietly resting, adjusting, and soaking in every little moment has been amazing! Thank you for your love and for respecting this sweet time of privacy . XOLO .”

The announcement comes as a milestone for the Sarkisian family, who have become a beloved part of the Texas Longhorns community since Steve took over as head coach in January 2021. Loreal, often referred to as the “First Lady of Texas Longhorns Football,” has made a name for herself not only as a supportive spouse but also as a personal stylist known for her stunning gameday looks. The couple’s journey to this moment has been one of resilience, reconciliation, and now, celebration.

A Growing Family and a Shared Journey

The newborn marks Steve Sarkisian’s fourth child, as he already has two daughters, Taylor and Ashley, and a son, Brady, from his previous marriage to Stephanie. Brady, notably, joined the Texas Longhorns football team as a linebacker in 2023, continuing the family’s deep ties to the program. For Loreal, this is her first child, a moment she hinted at earlier in the year when she spoke of 2025 being a “new chapter” on her Instagram, sharing inspirational life lessons that now seem to have foreshadowed this joyful arrival.

Loreal, 39, glowed in the pictures, her caption reflecting the couple’s gratitude and desire for privacy as they adjust to life as new
