Jasmine Yarbrough has been pictured on a Queensland getaway with her two-month-old daughter Harper May.
The 36-year-old new mum reportedly drove to the state recently with her parents and baby girl to visit family, with husband Karl Stefanovic remaining in Sydney for work on Channel 9’s Today.

RELATED: Karl’s Today return: ‘I’m struggling’
Over the weekend, the shoe designer was spotted loading suitcases into her car, before heading up to the Sunshine Coast where she and Karl recently bought a $3.6 million beach house.
Jasmine and Today host Karl, 45, welcomed their daughter Harper on May 1. She was born at Sydney's North Shore Private Hospital.
A week after the birth, Karl admitted he was “struggling a bit” during his first show back after the birth of his new daughter.
By the sounds of it, juggling a newborn baby and several hours of live early morning TV each day may take some getting used to.
“How are you going on your first day back, Karl?” Today co-host Ally Langdon asked her returning colleague.
“I’ve been struggling a bit, to be honest,” he said.
“Emotionally? Physically?” she asked.
“Everything hurts. I’m tired. Emotional,” he said with a chuckle.
Karl told Today viewers his week off had been “wonderful”, and was full of praise for his new daughter.
“I know they call it the bubble in the first couple of weeks but Harper may the bubble continue,” he said.
“She is so gorgeous – 2.9 kilos of just scrumptious delight. She’s sleeping OK, three hours on, three hours off.
“Jasmine has just taken it in her stride, she is feeding really well. It makes me cry already,” he said, struggling to contain his emotions.
Stefanovic and ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn share three children: Jackson, 20, Ava, 15 and River, 12. Karl admitted it was a bit of a shock to be changing nappies again after more than a decade.
“It felt very difficult waking up this morning only five minutes after changing a nappy, but it’s like riding a bike – you just get used to it.”
“(Harper’s) feeding beautifully. Mum is terrific. It’s all going really swimmingly at this point.”
Karl went on to thank fans for their well-wishes: “This is a really beautiful time for us and we felt all your love.”
The star’s return to Today came after a surprising, whiskey-fuelled interview on the Brown Cardigan Instagram page last month. Admitting he hadn’t cleared the lively social media appearance with Channel 9’s publicity, the TV personality downed a shot of whiskey and discussed his infamous 2009 post-Logies hosting appearance.
It wasn’t his only surprising media appearance of late: In April, Stefanovic gave a detailed, three-part interview with the Daily Mail, despite previously begging Today viewers never to read the outlet.
According to The Courier Mail, Karl and Jasmine are planning to spend more time in Queensland with their daughter.
In April, the couple purchased a $3.6 million beachside property in Noosa, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, less than 30 minutes from the airport for when Karl needs to jet back to Sydney for Today.
The couple have strong links to Queensland and celebrated New Year’s Eve with their families in Noosa.
