Texas HC Steve Sarkisian and wife Loreal divorce after 4 years together
Texas Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian and his wife Loreal Sarkisian announced on their Instagram accounts on July 26 that they will jointly file for divorce. In the Instagram stories shared by both of them, they cited career differences and commitments as the main reasons for their split.
The joint Instagram message read:
"After many heartfelt conversations, we have decided to amicably part ways and jointly file for divorce. We aim to remain the best of friends and are incredibly grateful for the love and support we have shared throughout our journey together.
"Our commitments to our respective careers made it difficult to prioritize time for each other and this step will provide us with the necessary time and space professionally while continuing to support each other personally."
They both asked for their fans and supporters to shower them with love, kindness and encouragement, while also allowing them to maintain their privacy as they take steps in the new chapters of their lives.
The couple tied the knot in June 2020, the same time when Sarkisian was a part of the Alabama Crimson Tide's coaching staff.
