Gossip Queen: Karl Stefanovic and Cassandra Thorburn finally moving on

Two and a half years after their acrimonious 2016 split, Karl Stefanovic and Cassandra Thorburn have finalised their bitter divorce and for Thorburn that’s likely to mean another change of address.

Karl Stefanovic and Cassandra Thorburn have finalised their bitter divorce — 2½ years after their acrimonious 2016 split.

After 21 years of marriage, the couple are now both free to move on with their lives — although for Thorburn that’s likely to mean another change of address this year.

The former couple’s most significant asset is an $8 million waterfront home in the Sydney suburb of Cremorne that Stefanovic, the highest-paid man on Australian television, bought with his $3-million-a-year pay cheque just months before leaving Thorburn.

Stefanovic never moved into the trophy home.

Following extensive renovations Thorburn took up residence with the couple’s three children in mid-2017.

His new relationship with shoe designer Jasmine Yarbrough (pictured top) in the early months of 2017 led to relations with his ex-wife further deteriorating against a backdrop of paparazzi tip-offs and allegations of leaks to the media.

The couple’s other prized assets include shares in Bali resort Mrs Sippy, acquired in late 2015.

In early 2017, sources close to Nine’s then undisputed star said he was prepared to hand over $6 million worth of property, acknowledging Thorburn had given up her journalism career to raise their children.

Sources say that in the end however, the newly remarried Stefanovic decided to fight for a larger slice of the estate while his ex-wife returned to work, most recently as a contestant on Ten’s Dancing With The Stars.
