Loreal Sarkisian sends a powerful message after trying a year with Steve

It’s certainly been a year to remember for Loreal Sarkisian, both good and bad.

The 39-year-old wife of Texas Longhorns football coach Steve Sarkisian has been slaying 2024 from a business and brand standpoint, showing some incredible fits along the way like her Thanksgiving stunner in Daisy Dukes and boots and her burnt orange leather look that outshone the SEC Championship, and most recently her all-white sparkly denim cowgirl slay for the College Football Playoff.

The model and stylist who was the secret behind Steve’s viral pregame pass earlier this season has certainly been in the public eye. While she’s been crushing her looks, things at home were very rocky when the couple filed for divorce in July, announcing it on Instagram with this message:

“After many heartfelt conversations, we have decided to go amicably and jointly file for divorce,” it read. “We aim to remain the best of friends and are incredibly grateful for the love and support we’ve shared throughout our journey together. Our commitments to our respective careers made it difficult to prioritize time for each other and this move will give us the much needed time and space professionally while continuing to support each other personally.”

Since then they have reconciled and seem as strong as ever. Loreal looks crushed while rocking her giant wedding ring (see above photo), and the two have been spotted at Texas games holding hands while being affectionate. Considering all that has been going on, Loreal sent another heartfelt message as 2024 draws to a close.

She wrote: “To the woman I was, I love you. To the woman I am, I’m proud of you. To the woman I’m becoming, I’m excited for you.” Those are strong words right there and apply to everyone.

It’s great to see Loreal and Steve happy as the year comes to an end. When January 1st rolls around, they hope life is peachy when Texas takes on the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Peach Bowl for the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
