Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian recently shared some personal news. He and his wife, Loreal are going their separate ways. 

In a joint statement, Steve and Loreal described their split as amicable. Despite making the decision to file for divorce, the soon-to-be former couple said they strive to "remain the best of friends."

"After many heartfelt conversations, we have decided to amicably part ways and jointly file for divorce, the statement read. "We aim to remain the best of friends and are incredibly grateful for the love and support we have shared throughout our journey together."

The Sarkisians also cited the demands of their respective careers. Loreal works as a professional wardrobe stylist, the Houston Chronicle reported.

"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 closed the statement by thanking supporters and asking for understanding and privacy.

"While we appreciate all the love and encouragement we have received, we kindly ask for your understanding and privacy during this transition as we embark on this new chapter in our lives."

Steve and Loreal tied the knot in 2020. Steve was the offensive coordinator under Nick Saban at Alabama at the time. The couple relocated to Austin in 2021 after Sarkisian was named the head coach at Texas. Loreal routinely appeared at Longhorns football games in support of Sarkisian and the team over the past few years.

Loreal attended North Carolina A&T and was a decorated track athlete. She became an assistant coach at Southern California in 2013. Sarkisian returned to USC as the Trojans head football coach ahead of the 2014 season.

Texas finished with a 5-7 record under Sarkisian in 2021. But, the team improved in 2022 and finished with eight wins. 

Sarkisian continues to prepare the Longhorns for their inaugural season in the Southeastern Conference.

The Longhorns are coming off a run to the College Football Playoff semifinal and were the No. 2 team in this year's SEC preseason poll.  The Georgia Bulldogs landed in the top spot in the conference's preseason rankings.

Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal celebrated his 38th birthday last month. 

The 22-time Grand Slam singles winner has had some injury setbacks in recent years, which fueled the belief he would soon step away from the sport he has dominated for so long. 

But Nadal did his best to dispel any notion the 2024 Paris Olympics would mark the final chapter of his storied career.

Shortly after the opening round of men's doubles matches at Roland Garros, where he has won the French Open 14 times, Nadal hinted his longtime rivalry with Novak Djokovic is nowhere near its ending.

"Who say that's last dance?" Nadal quipped when asked if he was prepared for a possible "last dance" with Djokovic in singles competition during the Summer Games.

Nadal is scheduled to face Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the opening round of men's singles Sunday. The Spaniard previously seemed uncertain if he would compete against Fucsovics, saying, "I don't know if I'm going to play or not," according to The Associated Press.

Nadal noted that he wanted to discuss his plans for Sunday's competition after he finished playing on Saturday "and then make the smartest decision possible to have the best chances to bring [a] medal back home."

If Nadal defeats Fucsovics, he would earn a spot in the second round, which is where he would likely face Djokovic. 

The Serbian and all-time major singles title record holder expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete against Nadal — especially if it would indeed be for a final time.

"If we get to face each other, it's going to be possibly the last time we're going to face each other on a big stage," Djokovic said. "So, I'm sure that people would enjoy it. I'm looking forward to it, and I'll be ready for that matchup."

Nadal and Djokovic have not gone head-to-head since the quarterfinal at the French Open in 2022. Nadal outlasted Djokovic in that meeting. He went on to win his 14th title at Roland Garros.

"Playing him is like finals, in any tournament," Djokovic said. "Particularly here, knowing what he has achieved and what he's done for our sport, but particularly here at Roland Garros, his record speaks for itself."

Nadal said playing in Saturday's doubles match with Carlos Alcaraz was "emotional."

"[It was] an emotional night, an electrifying night, amazing crowd," Nadal said. "To play with Carlos on this court has been so special. I'm just super happy about the victory. It gives us a chance to keep going."

While the "King of Clay" will eventually end his superb career, the Olympics may not be his final bow.
