A baby is on the way for a San Antonio TV news couple.
News 4/KABB investigative reporter and fill-in anchor Jordan Elder broke the news on social media on September 10, saying her family with former sports anchor and reporter Matt Roy (plus their dog, Dexter) would be growing by one.
“March Madness is about to get a whole new meaning,” Elder wrote on Instagram alongside some ultrasound shots and a couples photoshoot. The post also features a baby onesie that reads, “See you in March.”
“Baby Roy, we’re so excited to meet you,” she added.
When Roy left the news industry in October 2025, he told MySA it was because his “dream has changed,” despite always wanting a career in journalism. He said that with both himself and Elder working in news, that busy schedule made it hard to plan for a family and childcare. Trading in the sports desk for a different career, he became a media and communications associate at Victory Capital, an investment partner for the Spurs based at La Cantera.
“My dream has changed, and my dream now is to be the best dad, the best husband and the best man I can be, and it’s hard to have a family when my wife and I are both in journalism, and we’re working mornings or nights or weekends or days,” Roy said. “And it’s really, really, really inconsistent, because my wife and I don’t know how to say ‘no.'”
The two got married in December 2022 after Roy proposed in 2021. The wedding took almost two years of planning, but their story started way before that. They met at a party at Arizona State University, and Elder said she knew that was it when he walked in.
“When he walked through [the door], I looked at one of my friends and said, ‘that is my husband,'” Elder previously told MySA. She ended up being right about that, though Roy said that while his feelings weren’t as instantaneous, he did say “I love you” first. The two started dating in 2019, and the rest is history, arriving at News 4 and KABB in early 2022.
