Wife of Texas Longhorns Coach Drops Maternity Throwbacks and Answers Fan Questions

Loreal Sarkisian—the wife of Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian—just treated fans to a couple of sweet throwbacks.

On Sunday, August 10, the proud mom took to her Instagram Stories to share maternity shots from before the April birth of her son, Amays. One showed her in a baby-blue gown adorned with butterflies, while the other featured a black bodysuit that highlighted her bump.

Along with the throwback baby bump photos, Sarkisian, 39, answered fan questions about life as a new mom.

When asked if she already had game-day outfits picked out, the “First Lady of Texas Longhorn Football,” revealed that she doesn’t actually plan her game day outfits in advance. “Funny enough, I never pre-plan my game day looks,” she shared. “It really depends on how I’m feeling that day and the vibe I want to bring.”

Someone asked Loreal about what her go-to mom accessories are. She answered with, "Nothing's changed...except a little more dress action while I contour down. Chanel for the baby bag, naturally."

Loreal also shared that the new baby is, "doing well and growing fast," adding, "Mom life has been such a beautiful new chapter. It's taught me to be even more intentional with my time, my energy, and my priorities."

Loreal, a former collegiate hurdler and track coach, first met Steve when they were both working at USC—he was the Trojans’ offensive coordinator at the time, and she was an assistant track and field coach. The pair tied the knot in June 2020 while Steve was at Alabama, later moving to Austin when he took over as head coach of the Longhorns. They briefly separated in 2024 but reconciled later that year
