Photos taken of Jasmine in a swimsuit in Byron Bay on December 14 had confirmed speculation the couple were expecting their first child together.

Karl later announced the news via Instagram, telling fans: ‘After a great deal of speculation…the rumours are true.’

The lavish property on Sydney’s lower north shore has plenty of space for a growing family, with a total of four bedrooms across four levels.

Jasmine, who is the co-founder of footwear brand Mara & Mine, had been preparing for her daughter’s arrival by decorating a nursery in the home.

She also installed a child’s car seat in her and Karl’s family vehicle.

Karl told Daily Mail Australia last month that he was looking forward to becoming a father again.

‘We’re slowly getting a nursery together,’ he said. ‘I’ve had a fair few boxes arrive at the door and I’ve had to get the allen keys out.

‘I’ve helped build the cot, they’ve got this breast-feeding chair thing that I’ve put together. This is not easy stuff for a guy like me. But we are all ready to roll now.’
