The Texas Longhorns just got a brand new recruit—and this one’s barely out of diapers. Steve Sarkisian and his wife, Loreal, quietly welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Amays, this offseason. And while Loreal kept most of her pregnancy under wraps, she promised fans she wouldn’t disappear from the spotlight. True to her word, she’s already back — making waves and setting a bold new standard for working moms.

“I’ll be back to the regular scheduling programming sooner than later,” the 39-year-old wrote on Instagram. And just three weeks postpartum, she made good on that promise – turning heads at the Mack, Jack & McConaughey fundraiser in Austin, where a Carolina Herrera fashion show took center stage. The message was clear: Motherhood hasn’t slowed her down.

Loreal’s fashion game isn’t just for Texas sidelines — it’s her whole brand. And despite the pressure many women feel to step back after becoming a mom, Loreal only leaned in. This month alone, she co-hosted a “Mom Event” with Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Mahomes, in San Antonio and returned to Instagram with a creative touch: a new post featuring her baby’s footprint beside a sewing machine, symbolizing the blend of career and motherhood.

She also left new moms with a message of strength: “Life has a beautiful way of surprising you. Read that again. One day, the things you thought you’d never get over won’t even cross your mind. The peace you once prayed for will quietly settle in. And the life you used to dream about? You’ll be living it. Even if today doesn’t feel like that day, trust, it’s coming. The best parts of your story are still unfolding.”

It’s not the first time she’s shared a personal look at her journey. On Mother’s Day, she posted a heartfelt message about what it’s been like adjusting to life as a first-time mom. “As a new mom, I’m learning how deep, raw, and powerful love can be. I’m discovering strength I didn’t know I had and grace I didn’t know I needed.”

But the story behind Loreal and Steve’s growing family hasn’t always been smooth. In 2024, the couple announced they were separating. “After many heartfelt conversations, we have decided to amicably part ways and jointly file for divorce,” they wrote, citing demanding careers and lack of time together. “This step will provide us with the necessary time and space professionally while continuing to support each other personally.”

Still, Longhorn fans couldn’t help but notice Loreal sticking around — showing up at games, supporting the team, and staying close. And when the news broke that she and Sark had welcomed a child, it felt like a hopeful new chapter.

Now, the Sarkisians are entering a whole new season—this one less about football strategy and more about diaper bags, late nights, and figuring it all out on the fly. And for Longhorn Nation? It’s one more reason to be proud—not just of the football team, but of the strength and grace that’s walking beside it, one runway and one real moment at a time.

Now both of them are back on track taking a big step towards parenting and fans are going crazy over it.

Fans on the internet showered her with love and flowers

First came the showstopper: “Motherhood looks amazing on you!! 🍼🐣” — and honestly, it’s hard to argue. The baby bottle and chick emojis? Spot-on. Loreal Sarkisian didn’t just step into motherhood; she made it look like a glow-up. She’s still got that sideline drip, but now she’s bringing that same energy into mom life. It’s not just a compliment — it’s a whole vibe.

Then someone got real with it: “I love this. So inspiring and hopeful. That’s needed right now. I need it right now. Bless you my beautiful Soror!” That’s not just support — that’s someone feeling it in their chest. The back-to-back “right now” hits like a heartbeat. And calling her “Soror”? That’s deeper than fanship — that’s sisterhood. Loreal’s journey isn’t just hers anymore — she’s carrying a whole community with her.

Next up: “Baby Fashion coming!!! 🫶🏽👶🏽💙” Fans saw those fabric swatches and immediately clocked it — this baby’s about to be better dressed than most adults. Loreal’s been turning heads for years, and now people are already picturing strollers as runways. That mix of heart, baby boy energy, and bold blue? Yeah, they’re ready for Baby Sark’s first lookbook.

Then there’s the low-key banger: “Motherhood looks good on you ❤.” It might be short, but it says everything. No flash, no over-the-top hype — just straight respect. The type of line that hits different because it’s real. That single red heart? Clean. Simple. All love.

And finally: “Looking amazing, Mommy!” That one’s full of energy — proud, warm, hyped up. Loreal didn’t just step into a new chapter; she’s owning the whole book. From football sidelines to baby bliss, fans are watching her switch lanes without missing a beat.
