Harper May is Stefanovic’s fourth child and first with new wife Jasmine, 36.

The 45-year-old’s other children from his 21-year marriage to ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn are Jackson, 20, Ava, 14, and River, 12.

Karl and Jasmine were tight-lipped about their pregnancy but in the final days before the birth it seemed clear that Harper May’s birth was imminent.

On Thursday Mara & Mine shoe designer Jasmine shared a happy snap on Instagram declaring the “countdown is on”.

It has been a big year personally and professionally for Stefanovic, who returned to hosting duties on Today in January alongside new co-host Allison Langdon after he was axed from the show just days after his wedding in December 2018.
