WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Steve and Loreal Sarkisian Welcome Baby Boy: “Our Hearts Are So Full” It’s a touchdown for the Sarkisian family! University of Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian, 51, and his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, 39 — known to fans as the ever-stylish “First Lady of Texas Longhorn Football” — have officially welcomed their baby boy into the world. The happy news was shared on Friday, April 4, when Loreal took to Instagram to post a stunning set of maternity photos, celebrating their new arrival. And while the name and face of their newborn weren’t revealed just yet, the emotion in her caption said it all. “He’s arrived, and our hearts are so full of love and gratitude,” Loreal wrote. “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 photos show Loreal radiating pure goddess energy, draped in a form-fitting, earth-toned gown that highlighted her beautiful bump. In one especially tender photo, Steve gently kisses her forehead while resting his hand on her belly — a moment that perfectly captures the love between the two. In the comments, Coach Sarkisian kept things short and sweet with a quiet show of affection, posting: a blue heart which, honestly, says it all. The couple has become beloved by fans across Texas and beyond — not just for their leadership of the Longhorns, but for their modern, supportive marriage that blends style, strength, and soul. Loreal, a personal stylist with an eye for high fashion and game-day glam, has become something of a fan-favorite figure in college football, showing up on the sidelines in looks that always give. This baby boy marks a beautiful new chapter for the Sarkisians, who married in 2020, and have spoken publicly about building a blended, faith-based family filled with intention, grace, and gratitude. The couple inexplicably separated last year. But obviously, with teh announcement of their new child, it means they have reconciled in their marriage. While Steve is laser-focused on leading Texas into the SEC, it’s clear his heart is firmly at home, too — now with another little Longhorn to love. Fans, players, and fellow coaches quickly flooded Loreal’s post with messages of congratulations and well wishes, including: “The Sark squad just got even stronger! Congrats!!!” As the Sarkisians enjoy these precious early moments in private, one thing’s for sure: baby XOLO is already deeply loved, beautifully blessed, and probably has a closet fuller than most of us. Congratulations to the growing Sarkisian family — and welcome to the world, little one.
“That baby has championship DNA and amazing style already!”
“So happy for you both — what a beautiful blessing.”
