Well, Steve Sarkisian just pulled off the ultimate hat trick this offseason. While Texas is going under a new transition in Arch Manning’s era, Sark and Loreal just added a new MVP to their roster. Yes, they are parents now, and forget about those split-up rumors. They are dead on arrival. And the best part? The entire sports world is joining in to make their special day even more magical. Even Nick Saban and Deion Sanders’ daughters celebrated the news with the Sarkisians, showering love over social media. From playbooks to pacifiers, things changed real fast for the couple.

Loreal Sarkisian flabbergasted the Instagram community—and this time, it wasn’t about her posts endorsing the Longhorns or providing fashion inspiration. It’s a moment of joy for her and Coach Sark. They revealed not only her pregnancy but also the gender of their newest member. And it’s a boy! That’s right—Texas’ very own football power couple just became parents, and no one saw it coming. Between jet-setting to Paris and hosting a fashion show in Austin, she kept her pregnancy a secret.

“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 💙,” Loreal captioned her post. And love poured in fast. The entire football world united to celebrate their big moment. Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban, and Deion Sanders’ daughter, Deiondra Sanders, both swiftly ‘liked’ the post. Making sure their love reaches the new parents.

Both Kristen and Deiondra are parents of sweet little boys James and Snow themselves, and their ‘likes’ said more about the ‘love’ they feel for the couple. Even Sark hit the comment section to shower love over his wife and son with blue hearts filled with love. And not just them, but even basketball player DeWanna Bonner made sure her affection reached them as she commented on Loreal’s post, saying, “congratulations” with a heart emoji.

Now, Loreal Sarkisian, also known as ‘The First Lady of Texas Longhorns Football’, has reached a new milestone – she is now a mother. Loreal and Steve Sarkisian have welcomed their first child together, which is a significant moment for Loreal. Although Sark already has three children from a previous marriage – two daughters named Taylor and Ashley, and a son. Brady Sarkisian – this new addition is Loreal’s first child, making it particularly special.

However, what has caught the netizens wondering is how Loreal veiled her pregnancy throughout the recent months. She’s an active social media personality and hence almost always under the lens. But, if you look closely, some dots do connect…

Loreal Sarkisian’s dropping subtle hints

Well, Loreal, who was a regular presence at almost every game last season, both at home and away, effortlessly showcased her sideline fashion sense. Despite rumors of a possible divorce over the summer, Loreal’s game-day appearances and stylish outfits spoke volumes by fall. During the College Football Playoff, she impressed onlookers with a chic all-white cowgirl denim attire that cleverly concealed her baby bump. In the semifinal against Ohio State, she made a statement in a stunning burnt-orange leather outfit. It turns out her fashion choices were not just about looking good but also about hiding her pregnancy, and she did it with perfection.

The tea began brewing in March when Loreal hinted that something was in the works. She took a break from social media and informed her 136k followers, “Hiii. So sorry I’ve been in and out! My schedule has been a little cray cray lol! Also I won’t be doing any Fasion Month right now (as you’ve prob noticed). Not to worry I’ll be back in the Fall!”

Initially, everyone accepted the “busy” explanation without question. She had just returned from Paris Fashion Week and attended Louis Vuitton’s fall-winter men’s show effortlessly. Not to mention her elegant encounter with Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

No one thought twice about it. However, looking back, Loreal had been dropping hints like a pro. She referred to 2025 as a “new chapter,” and her Instagram had gradually transformed into a collection of inspirational quotes and mysterious captions. With the recent announcement, everything she shared suddenly made sense. She wasn’t just managing her schedule—she was quietly crafting a whole new life.
