Karl Stefanovic’s fiancée hits back with loved-up tribute

The wedding invitations have been sent out, and the countdown is on to their wedding, which is tipped to be held in Mexico in December.

And Karl Stefanovic and his fiancée Jasmine Yarbrough looked every inch the loved-up couple, with the shoe designer sharing a sweet snap of them together surrounded by cherry blossom trees in the NSW town of Griffith.

Following weeks of Karl’s ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn speaking out about the end of her 21-year marriage, Karl and Jasmine have continued to make headlines with their romance, with latest reports claiming the TODAY show host’s 18-year-old son Jackson is to be a noticeable non-attendee at his dad’s wedding.

But despite all the fuss, Jasmine made it clear there was only one thing that was important to her – the constant support of the 44-year-old TV star.

“Always by my side,” Jasmine captioned the photo of her walking hand-in-hand with Karl.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that while Jackson will miss his dad’s wedding, Karl’s two youngest children Ava, 13, and River, 11, are believed to be travelling to Cabo San Lucas for the December 8 ceremony.

It’s not the first time Karl’s eldest son has missed a big occasion, having also skipped the couple’s commitment ceremony in Palm Beach in March.

According to the source, the star-studded guest list will include Jasmine’s Mara & Mine business partner Tamie Ingham and her sister Katie, Karl’s friend James Packer and his new girlfriend Kylie Lim, Channel Nine colleague Richard Wilkins and his manager Sharon Finnigan.

It comes after Cassandra opened up about the impact the breakup had on her and the couple’s three children after over two decades as a family.

“Last year, I declared that Karl really was dead to me, a man I no longer know, but the children still have their father,” she told The Australian Women’s Weekly earlier this month.

“The flip-side of that is I feel like we’re dead to his family and almost anyone from our old life.

“There has been practically no contact. I feel like we’ve been discarded and disposed of, replaced by a whole new line-up of starters.”

Within days Karl hit back with a statement.

“First and foremost, I’m a dad… and I’m not going anywhere. I love my kids,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

“I don’t want my silence, or the fact that my children aren’t visibly front and centre with me for everyone to see, to be misinterpreted as absence. That couldn’t be further from the truth.”

It’s been two years since Cassandra and Karl split.
