Today host Karl Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine Yarbrough shows off baby bump in Byron Bay

When Karl Stefanovic returns to the Today show on Monday the spotlight will once again be on the TV presenter’s personal life.

The 45-year-old was dumped from the show amid flagging ratings at the end of 2018 after he became tabloid fodder amidst the breakdown of his marriage to journalist Cassandra Thorburn, the mother of his three children, and his new romance with shoe designer Jasmine Yarbrough.

Nine reportedly wants to keep Stefanovic’s private life out of the limelight as he attempts a comeback to try to save Today’s dwindling ratings.

But all that will change now that he has confirmed he is expecting his fourth child, and first with his now wife Yarbrough, 35.

Posting an unflattering paparazzi photo of himself at the beach, the host made a self-deprecating remark referencing his December food baby.

“After a great deal of speculation ... the rumours are true,” he wrote along with the baby emoji.

He made the announcement after photos today showed Yarbrough with a noticeable baby bump in a black one-piece while holidaying in Byron Bay ending the long-running pregnancy speculation.
