Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough arrive in Mexico to dramatic scenes ahead of flashy wedding

Exclusive: Star couple Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough have landed in Mexico with an entourage ahead of their A-list nuptials, as security tried desperately to fend off the paparazzi.

Karl Stefanovic was all smiles as he and his soon-to-be wife Jasmine Yarbrough arrived at Mexico’s Los Cabos International Airport ahead of their flashy wedding.

But not all members of the entourage looked as impressed as security staff tried desperately to fend off the paparazzi.

Donning a suit jacket paired casually with jeans and topped of with a flat cap, Stefanovic grinned while Yarbrough averted her gaze.

Yarbrough’s brother Josh and his New Zealand supermodel girlfriend, Emily May Baker, appeared deadpan as they went to jump into their taxi.

The group touched down in Los Angeles on Tuesday before boarding the 2.5 hour flight to the Mexican airport, about half an hour away from where they’re due to wed on Saturday.

Stefanovic and Yarbrough have picked the One & Only Palmilla Resort in San Jose del Cabo to tie the knot, a haunt for celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston.

The Today host and his shoe-designer fiancee are believed to have splashed tens of thousands of dollars on accommodation, including for their guests to stay in the hotel’s ritzy villas.

Yarbrough, 34, is expected to wear a custom dress by Sydney-based designer Jess Andreatta, which could cost as much as $25,000.

Andreatta gave few clues as to the dress’ aesthetic, but hinted it would take into account the “location and overall vibe of the wedding”, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Australia celebrities expected to attend include PR queen Roxy Jacenko, shock jock Alan Jones, and spin king Shane Warne.

Even Julie Bishop will take some time out from Canberra’s political chaos to watch the lovebirds marry.

Stefanovic and Yarbrough met at a Sydney boat party, and started dating in December 2016.

They announced their engagement in February, four months after Stefanovic and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn’s divorce was finalised.

The pair had been married for 21 years.
