Breaking up a relationship is hard, but when it is a marriage that ends, it surely leaves a denser scar on the two people. Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, and Loreal Sarkisian, announced their divorce on July 26, 2024. While the wound is fresh, the two have moved on in their professional lives, which consumes them largely. While HC has been working on providing the Longhorns with a successful season, ex-wife Loreal, a wardrobe-stylish, has been busy with clients.

Today, Loreal Sarkisian took to Instagram to share a story flaunting her luxury life. Her story depicted a perfect combination of fashion with class. She shared a collage of women wearing luxury shoe collections. With a poll involving her fans, to chime in. The polls went on to offer the options “I am here for this look”, “not really a fan” and “I had those shoes in high school”. Later on, she posted another story heading out of a fancy building, with her hair on point, a poised walk, elegant heals, and the boss lady attitude.

While Loreal Sarkisian works as a wardrobe stylist, Texas fans also highly regard her. Among Longhorns fans, she gained the highly esteemed title of ‘The First Lady of Texas Football.’ Apart from that, Loreal also had a major impact on Sarkisian’s career revival. After being fired from USC in 2016, Sarkisian had a hard time getting coaching interviews. Loreal played a crucial role in assisting him in rebuilding his coaching career and helping Steve to secure a place in Texas. Moreover, she used to help Steve Sarkisian with his attire on game days, too. It was surprising for their fans when they announced their divorce, even after having such a strong bond.

Loreal Sarkisian and Steve Sarkisian reason for the split

Loreal and Steve Sarkisian’s divorce news came as a shocker for all Texas fans. Both tied the knot in 2020 and after 4 years of marriage, both announced their divorce on July 26, 2024. Both Steve and Loreal took to Instagram to confirm the news, saying, “After many heartfelt conversations, we have decided to amicably part ways and jointly file for divorce.” They also added to it, saying, “We aim to remain the best of friends and are incredibly grateful for the love and support we have shared throughout our journey together.” 

However, they never really got into the real reason for their separation. However their social media statement highlighted the fact that they both want to focus on their professional careers. As they both stated, “Our commitments to our respective careers made it difficult to prioritize time for each other, and this step will provide us with time and space professionally while continuing to support each other personally.” Looks like it was a mutual decision, and looking at their professional growth, they both seem to be in a happy place.
