TODAY host Karl Stefanovic has slammed tabloid reports that he and girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough are expecting a baby.
Women’s magazine Woman’s Day, released yesterday, reported that Yarbrough, 33, is “believed to be pregnant” and had her bump on display at the Derby Day races in Melbourne.
The magazine also put the story on the cover, declaring the shoe designer is “pregnant already” and Stefanovic’s ex wife Cassandra Thorburn has known ”for weeks.”
However when approached to comment about the article, Stefanovic’s manager Sharon Finniganblasted the reports, calling them “absolute bulls***.”
Speaking on behalf of Stefanovic and Yarbrough, Finnigan said the couple were “disgusted” and “offended” by what had been printed.
“For 12 months this magazine has printed untrue stories about Karl and Jasmine and this is just another one of them,” Finnigan, who usually declines to comment, said.
“We are disgusted at what’s being printed and Karl is urging people not to buy the magazine because it’s untrue.”

Stefanovic’s life has become tabloid fodder after his split with Thorburn 16 months ago.
However while the popular journalist understands that the rumours and speculation are part and parcel with being on TV, he’s not comfortable with those close to him coming under attack.
“It’s particularly upsetting that this magazine is run by a female editor yet she feels the need to publish stories that are hurtful and upsetting, particularly to Jasmine,” Finnigan said.

This is the latest blow for the couple, who have publicly said they try to keep their relationship as private as possible out of respect for their friends and family.
“It is one step at a time and it’s about doing whatever we do in a respectful way,” Stefanovic recently told Confidential. Yarbrough, who is the co-founder of label Mara & Mine, recently commented that her friends and family have been “an amazing support”.
It’s understood Stefanovic’s management is considering whether it has any legal options.
