Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is winning on and off the field. In a compelling off-season in Texas college football, everyone is embracing stepping into that historic Arch Manning era. But before that,  Mr. and Mrs. Sarkisian announced a personal bombshell that left the fans walking on air. Yes, call them the new mom and dad. Steve Sarkisian and Loreal Sarkisian welcomed the newest member of their family today. After dispelling all the rumors about their separation in the media, we have this new update. Isn’t it something? There were two, and now, we have three!

The 39-year-old fashion tycoon managed to cover up her baby bump pretty well for these nine months and finally let the cat out of the bag when it was really out. Puns aside, the First Lady of Texas didn’t even look like she was carrying a child while she was busy, meeting her professional pursuits during Paris Fashion Week. It’s really hard to escape the eagle eyes of the media. But thanks to Loreal’s on-point fashion sense, that might have made her an expert in choosing the right clothes to veil it up. And yes, to ease your curiosity, they have revealed the baby’s gender too. It’s a boy!

Coach Sarkisian’s better half shared her maternity photo on Instagram 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 moment the post went live, Loreal Sarkisian got thousands of messages congratulating her on this amazing life update. And how could the father of the new baby boy be left behind? Steve Sarkisian came up in the comments to co-celebrate, perhaps, the biggest joy of his life with a bunch of blue heart emojis. “💙💙💙.”

When all of you are thinking it’s a sudden shocker, well, if you look back and read between the lines with a little heightened instinct, you might be able to connect the dots. The Sarkisians left a few crumbs behind for you to pick up.

Loreal Sarkisian’s sneaky social media antics slyly carried the hints of a grand welcome 

Okay, revert your memory to just a month back. It was March 1. After the Longhorns’ playoff journey came to an abrupt end, Loreal took to her Instagram to share a bizarre life update with her 136,000 fans and followers after going silent for nearly a month. She wrote, “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 Fashion Month right now (as you’ve prob noticed). Not to worry, I’ll be back in the Fall.”

It seemed pretty feasible as it came at such a time when Loreal had just jetted off from Paris fashion week and attended Louis Vuitton’s men’s 2025 fall-winter collection debut. Before that, she had an awe-inspiring catch-up with Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue. So, there was no reason not to believe her busy-schedule angle then.

But again, that long-time absence should strike harder. For a celebrity social media influencer like Loreal, it was kind of odd to just disappear from the feed and stories for a month all of a sudden. Things went a little too extreme when she was nowhere on the social media wall when the Milan Fashion Week kicked off. But nobody doubted a pregnancy! Now, as we know, let’s wish the coach and his wife a happy and fulfilling parenthood, edging forward.
