Karl Stefanovic, Jasmine Yarbrough wedding pictures splashed in Who magazine
Despite insisting “there was no media deal”, television host Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s lavish big fat Mexican wedding has been splashed all over a magazine cover with the editor of the mag promising to “reveal all”.
Despite emphatically insisting “there was no media deal”, TV host Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s big fat Mexican wedding has been splashed all over a magazine cover.
The latest issue of Who features an eight-page spread of the nuptials.
It comes after the Today host earlier declared the pair had no intention of partnering with a publication.
“There is no media deal, don’t believe everything you read,” he said in February after confirming the couple’s engagement.

But Who editor Keshnee Kemp was a wedding guest and shared intimate details and images from the event, including a quote from the bride herself.
Promising to spill “all the details”, the cover boasts “exclusive photos” of “the dress, the guests and their private moment before the ceremony”.
Inside, the first nine pages are dedicated to the wedding, with more than a dozen new photos from the ceremony, the reception and even the bride and bridesmaids getting ready.
Kemp explains her connection to the couple in an editor’s letter penned from Los Cabos, Mexico: “I’ve known Jasmine and her family my entire life — we grew up together in Queensland.”
Yarbrough is also quoted: “It’s been such a big year. To end it surrounded by so much love is a reminder of what’s important. And what’s important are the people you love, who love you back.”
The couple’s decision to allow Who exclusive on-the-ground coverage of their wedding comes as something of a surprise, and not just because of Stefanovic’s previous public denials of a media deal.
He has had a fraught relationship with several of Australia’s weekly celebrity magazines, slamming both Woman’s Day and New Idea (owned by the same parent company as Who) in the past six months over coverage of his personal life.
Stefanovic’s backflip comes as his ex-wife, Cassandra Thorburn, faced scrutiny over an alleged interview with New Idea over the weekend in which she was quoted as calling her ex a “fake” with a “narcissism” problem.
Thorburn vehemently denied giving the quotes, but The Daily Telegraph has “irrefutably verified” that she had.
