Karl Stefanovic goes public with new girlfriend
Months after announcing his split from his wife of 21 years, Today host Karl Stefanovic is photographed sailing in Sydney with new girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough.
Today host Karl Stefanovic, 42, Peter's older brother, was front and centre at the lavish affair at Ooralba Estate in Kangaroo Valley, NSW, acting as groomsman. However, his three children, Jackson, 17, Ava, 12 and River, 10, were not invited.
Stefanovic and the children's mother, Cassandra Thorburn, 46, split last July after 21 years of marriage.
It has been an acrimonious break-up with the pair only communicating through lawyers.
The Stefanovic family seem to have taken sides and have not been in touch with Thorburn since the split. However, it was unusual for the once close-knit family not to have Stefanovic's children present.
"The children are upset not to have been invited to their uncle's wedding," a family friend told Fairfax Media.
The youngest of the Stefanovics, Ava and River, acted as flower girl and page boy for Karl's other brother Tom's wedding to Jenna Dinicola in Griffith, NSW, in August 2015.

Late on Saturday, Nine issued three pictures from the day in a bid to thwart swarming paparazzi, who had descended on the Shoalhaven region to catch a glimpse of Stefanovic's new girlfriend, former model and shoe designer, Jasmine Yarbrough, 33.
She was not seen in pictures from the day. Unconfirmed tabloid reports last week claimed that Jeffreys asked her not to attend.

Karl and Jeffreys' Today co-stars Lisa Wilkinson, Richard Wilkins and Tim Gilbert were all in attendance, as well as the show's executive producer Mark Calvert, former Today presenter and current 2GB radio host Ben Fordham and former Neighbours star, Holly Valance.
For the outdoor wedding, Jeffreys stunned in a lace, tiered gown with train by her favourite designer and friend, Rebecca Vallance.

Her four bridesmaids, including her sister Claire Going, sister-in-law Jenna Stefanovic, Meggie Palmer and Alison Ariotti, all wore blush, floor-length numbers by the same designer.
Peter Stefanovic opted for a classic black tux by Armani, matching his groomsmen, who included brothers Karl and Tom, Michael Tramonte and Nick Atkins.

"Best day of our lives," Jeffreys captioned an Instagram picture of the day.
"I've never seen a more beautiful bride, or a prouder groom. It was a gorgeous day from start to finish. So much love, so many laughs. They couldn't have wished for a happier start to married life," said a close friend who attended the wedding.
The pair first started dating in 2014, when he was Nine's Europe correspondent. He popped the question last July on a holiday to France.
He has since moved back to Sydney and works on 60 Minutes and sometimes fills in on the news desk.
Fairfax Media asked SF Celebrity Management, who act as representatives for both Peter and Karl Stefanovic, on multiple occasions for comment but they did not respond.
