KARL & JASMINE’S BABY JOY ‘IT’S A GIRL!’
The loved-up couple have shared some special news with their family
Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough couldn’t stop smiling as they were spotted in Sydney just hours after returning from a family visit to Queensland.
Showing off her gorgeous bump in a striking dress, Jasmine, 35, was glowing as her husband Karl, 45, beamed beside her. Insiders tell Woman’s Day there’s an extra special reason for their newfound happiness – they’re believed to be expecting a girl!
“It’s a dream come true for them and in particular Jasmine, who had her heart set on having a little girl, especially given Karl already has two boys, Jackson and River, from his relationship with his ex-wife Cass,” a source reveals to Woman’s Day, adding that Karl too was hoping for another girl as he finds himself more suited to the fatherdaughter bond that he shares with Ava, and he’s always shared a close relationship with his mother.
“He never had that strong male bond with his own father,” the source says. “And while on the surface it looks like he’s strong with his brothers [Pete, 37, Tom, 34], they aren’t that close.”
While the pair seem to be on cloud nine after delivering the news to Jasmine and Karl’s family last week during a whirlwind trip to Queensland to celebrate Karl’s mum Jenny’s 70th, Woman’s Day learns they broke the news to Karl’s children two months ago when Jasmine was just eight weeks pregnant!
“The kids were naturally a little taken aback and haven’t talked about it too much,” says the insider. While Jackson, 20, and River, 13, were fine with the news, Ava, 14 – who recently changed her name to Willow and has always been Karl’s little girl – has taken a while to adjust.
“She was a little shocked but Karl has assured her that she will always be daddy’s little girl and that no new baby will ever replace their tight bond,” says the insider.
