Steve Sarkisian is winning on and off the field. The proud Texas coach has seen three of his players go to the first round of the NFL draft on April 24th. On the other hand, he is patiently waiting to see a new Texas era unfold with the inception of Arch Manning under the center. But this is not all that keeps the legendary head coach on his toes all the time. At home, he had a new responsibility to bring off, which was way harder than his regular coaching stints. Sarkisian, a new father of his fourth child, is relishing his new role to the fullest, and so does his wife, Loreal. The 39-year-old fashion mogul is stepping out of her comfort ‘mama’ zone and meeting the outside world like a boss lady.

The 39-year-old stylist stunned the world, releasing photos of their baby boy on April 4th and wrote, “He’s arrived, and our hearts are so full of love and gratitude! 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 💙.” The couple kept their pregnancy under the cover until the doctor placed the baby in her arms, all healthy. No photos, no baby bump fashion moments, no photoshoot! However, after attending the Paris fashion week in January, Loréal didn’t attend any of such events until the date of delivery.

After a brief stretch away from public events, Loreal Sarkisian reappeared in Austin less than a month after giving birth. Her first outing came at the Mack, Jack & McConaughey fundraiser on April 25, where she attended the Carolina Herrera fashion show. Less than a week later, she showed up again—this time at the ‘Whatamom’ event on May 2. No big statement, no press push. Just two low-key appearances that quietly reestablished her presence. She posted a photo of a black sleek dress from the venue and wrote, “Thank you to the ‘Whatamom’ event for having me yesterday. “

The name itself suggested that the event revolved around the moms and their lives in some way or another. However, the way Loreal fits back into her genre seamlessly demands command. If you have watched Sarkisian in the middle of the field, you must have been aware that the head coach remained dead serious when it comes to his work. Like husband, like wife. Loreal has been the same workaholic and ultra ambitious with her goals.

She kept the whole pregnancy process hidden from the public’s eyes while not missing out on many of her scheduled shows and events. Ask how? Well, that’s a covert advantage of being a professional stylist. She knows what to wear and what to avoid to conceal her bump well. But the intention was all but sneaky. She confirmed, “Please note I did not ‘hide’ anything! One, I was hardly showing! But also, it was a very personal time, a very special time, and a very much our business type of time! Love y’all though.”

But regardless of their highly private and secret pregnancy journey, Loreal didn’t forget her words to fans and the world.

Loreal Sarkisian promised to be back in her world real soon

Loreal and Steve Sarkisian, who married in 2020, publicly faced challenges in their relationship when they reportedly filed for divorce in the summer of 2024. According to reports, their demanding careers and the strain of balancing time between family and professional commitments led them to the decision. The couple’s split, however, was described as amicable and mutual, with discussions taking place over dinner.

Despite the separation, the two remained supportive of one another. In the months that followed, they were seen attending family events together, and their bond appeared to strengthen again. Just within a few months of the announcement, the couple started to reconcile behind the scenes. By the end of the year, fans get their heart in place knowing that they are back for real. Loreal started to accompany her beau on the Texas game like before, while flaunting her wedding ring in front of the camera. The birth of a child added another layer to their bittersweet relationship. But amidst all the hustle, Loreal promised her fans to get back to her fashion queendom as early as possible.

“Hi guys, happy Saturday. Sorry for the bare face… I’ll be back to regular scheduled program sooner than later. Um, but for now, I just want to say thank you so much to all of our close friends and family… And, of course, to all of the new fashionista friends and Longhorn’s nation,” Loreal shared on her IG story right after the childbirth. And here she is, ruling and shaping the word motherhood like never before.

In her quiet yet powerful way, she continues to navigate the complexities of motherhood and career, offering a glimpse into a life that blends strength, vulnerability, and a deep commitment to those she holds dear.
