She used to be the ‘First Lady’ of Texas Longhorns football, but that’s history now. But no issue! She still got her b’day present from the team. Well, on her 39th birthday, Texas absolutely crushed Oklahoma, winning 34-3. Afterward, Steve Sarkisian wrote a sweet message to Loreal, stating, “Happy Birthday Beautiful!! Honey, keep being you – inspiring, supporting, loving, motivating, & caring! Love you, have an amazing day!!😘😘😘.”

Loreal got Steve Sarkisian’s back

Steve Sarkisian’s viral pregame attire for the Longhorns’ pivotal September game against Michigan was inspired by ‘stylist Loreal,’ despite the fact that the couple filed for divorce. Additionally, following Texas’ overwhelming victory at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Steve’s Longhorns were awarded the prized Golden Hat Trophy. Loreal shared a video of Steve wearing the trophy, and in the description, she said, “The Best Birthday Gift.

Well, the couple amicably separated just three months ago, but Loreal and Steve are still standing by each other’s side whenever needed. She even said in an interview, “I completely understand his lifestyle, the schedule, and the intensity of his working nonstop in the office. Recruitment when traveling… It does more than only get you on and off the track.” So despite their divorce, they still have a great relationship and are like best friends. With Loreal rocking Paris Fashion Week and her personal stylist life, and Steve reaping wins alongside her, it’s just an amazing month for the duo!
