The post also features a baby onesie that reads, &#8220;See you in March.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Baby Roy, we\u2019re so excited to meet you,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>When Roy left the news industry in October 2025,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local\/article\/matt-roy-news4-san-antonio-21089403.php\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\"> he told MySA<\/a> it was because his &#8220;dream has changed,&#8221; 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\u00a0Cantera.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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&#8217;s hard to have a family when my wife and I are both in journalism, and we&#8217;re working mornings or nights or weekends or days,&#8221; Roy said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s really, really, really inconsistent, because my wife and I don&#8217;t know how to say &#8216;no.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/entertainment\/article\/news-4-san-antonio-journalists-wedding-17643594.php\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">got married in December 2022<\/a> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he walked through [the door], I looked at one of my friends and said, &#8216;that is my husband,'&#8221; Elder previously told\u00a0MySA. She ended up being right about that, though Roy said that while his feelings weren&#8217;t as instantaneous, he did say &#8220;I love you&#8221; first. The two started dating in 2019, and the rest is history, arriving at News 4 and KABB in early 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A baby is on the way for a San Antonio TV news couple.\u00a0 News 4\/KABB investigative reporter and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2107,820,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-432371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysaentertainment","tag-mysastaff","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
