TODAY show host Karl Stefanovic and partner Jasmine Yarbrough made their first public appearance since their commitment ceremony yesterday.
Stefanovic flew in from the Gold Coast for the Witchery White Shirt Campaign launch, which raises funds for ovarian cancer.
The 43-year-old said the scrutiny and stress of events in his private life had made him reassess what mattered most.
“The last couple of months I’ve been able to reflect on the more important things in my life and they are those women who are close to me,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“Everything pales in comparison to the importance of things like this and nothing sharpens you more than the reality of a disease that can take your life.
“The women in my life are so important and they’re a rock for me so anything I can give back in terms of using whatever profile I have and if charities will have me, then I’m here.”
Stefanovic’s partner Jasmine Yarbrough, who the breakfast presenter said “put the heat” on him to MC the charity event agreed.
“The women in my life and so important and there is a lack of awareness about Ovarian cancer and to identify it early is so key,” Yarbrough said.
“This is the important part of life, not the rest.”
