Today show host Karl Stefanovic and wife Jasmine Yarbrough ‘are planning to have their second baby’

Karl Stefanovic and his wife, Jasmine Yarbrough, welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Harper May, three months ago.

And according to New Idea on Monday, the Today show host, 45, and the shoe designer, 36, are already planning to have another child.

Karl, who has three older children from his first marriage to Cassandra Thorburn, has reportedly been telling colleagues at Channel Nine that he and Jasmine are keen to give Harper a younger sibling.

‘A second baby is not far away and due to COVID, they have decided to increase their family,’ a source said.

Karl apparently loves being a father and little Harper has ‘made him so happy’ that he wants to have another baby.

The insider added: ‘Karl is telling his network colleagues they want a new baby brother or sister for Harper as soon as possible. His Today co-workers have said they are already planning that it will be sooner rather than later.’ 

Jasmine and Karl welcomed their daughter Harper on May 1. She was born at Sydney’s North Shore Private Hospital.

In a statement to the Today show at the time, Karl said: ‘Harper and Jasmine are doing well and dad had a great night’s sleep.’

He added: ‘I am in awe. Harper is absolutely perfect.’

The happy news was also announced on Weekend Today on Saturday May 2, by Karl’s colleague and close friend, Richard Wilkins.

Richard confirmed that Harper weighed 2.9kg at the time of her birth and was born the day prior, just after midday.

Karl met Jasmine in late 2016, five months after his split from his wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn.

The new couple wed in a lavish ceremony at the One&Only Palmilla resort in San José del Cabo, Mexico, in December 2018.

Karl is already a father to three children shared with Cassandra: son Jackson, 20, daughter Ava, 14, and son River, 12.
