Jasmine Stefanovic has shared a rare candid photo of Karl with his daughter, Ava.

The 36-year-old shoe designer, who married the Today host in December 2018, posted an adorable picture on her Instagram of her husband with his 14-year-old daughter, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Cassandra Thorburn.

Karl, 45, and Ava can be seen laughing and putting their arms around each other in the cute snap, which Jasmine captioned, “#fatheranddaughter”.

It comes after Jasmine and Ava were seen having a shopping date in Sydney’s north shore at the weekend, where the mum-to-be showed off her growing baby bump in a skin-tight maxi dress.

The pair wore matching shoes from Jasmine’s designer footwear company, Mara & Mine, as they picked up groceries in Mosman.

In January, Jasmine and Ava were seen alongside Karl in VIP seats at the Australian Open in Melbourne, watching Ash Barty play Slovenia’s Polona Hercog.

It is reported that Jasmine is five months pregnant with her first child, which will be Karl’s fourth time becoming a dad.

Rumours began swirling late last year the pair were expecting. And while Jasmine hasn’t directly addressed the news, Karl validated reports in the most Karl way possible.

Posting a paparazzi photo of himself emerging from the ocean during a beach trip in December, the returning TV host made a self-deprecating remark referencing his December food baby.

“After a great deal of speculation … the rumours are true,” he wrote along with the baby emoji.

Before his announcement, photos surfaced of Jasmine cradling her stomach at a baby shower in New York City, where she was celebrating her one-year wedding anniversary with Karl.

“I love baby showers,” a shower attendee wrote over an Instagram Story, while another friend posted a baby emoji over a photo of Jasmine.

Karl and Jasmine were married in Cabo, Mexico, on December 8, 2018 in an extravagant celebration that was said to be the nail in the coffin for Karl’s career as host of Today.

But less than a year later Channel 9 was forced to backtrack on their decision to sack Karl when ratings under co-hosts Georgie Gardner and Deborah Knight plummeted further.

They brought him back to the desk alongside popular 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon.
