Steve Sarkisian's wife Loreal stuns in first public appearance since welcoming baby

In this story:
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian proudly watched as three of his players were selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on April 24.
The New Orleans Saints selected offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 9, the Denver Broncos picked up defensive Jahdae Barron at No. 20, and wide receiver Matthew Barron went to the Green Bay Packers at No. 23.
“I try to sit back and enjoy it," Sarksiain told the SEC Network of the NFL draft. "I’ll be on the couch enjoying it all trying to be a proud papa."
Of course, Sarkisian, is already a "proud papa" at home, as he and his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, quietly welcomed their first child together earlier this month. Sarkisian also shares two sons and a daughter, Taylor, Ashley and Brad, with his former wife, Stephanie.

The 39-year-old stylist showed off her maternity photos on April 4 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 💙."
Loreal promised her 139,000 followers on Instagram that she'd return to her "regular scheduling programming sooner than later," and she wasn't kidding.

Just three weeks later, Loreal made her first public appearance at the annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey fundraiser in Austin, which included a Carolina Herrera fashion show in Austin.
Longhorns alum and super Matthew McConaughey, one of the fundraiser's founders, attended the event, along with his wife, Camila Alves. "Fun Fridays," Loreal wrote while posting a video of Alves.

Loreal reflected on the event on Instagram on Saturday. She wrote, "Starting my weekend in the best way, surrounded by beauty, fashion, and inspiring women at a gorgeous event hosted by Neiman Marcus.
"It was such a joy to reconnect with familiar faces and meet others who share the same love for fashion, texture, and creating unforgettable moments through styling. Truly a day to remember!"
