Karl Stefanovic has revealed the gender of his unborn baby with Jasmine Yarbrough

After keeping mum in the first few months of their pregnancy, Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough have revealed the due date and gender of their first child.

Karl Stefanovic has confirmed the due date and gender of his baby with wife Jasmine Yarbrough, saying he “can’t wait to meet his little princess”.

The Today co-host opened up about his wife’s first pregnancy with 9Honey, revealing Jasmine will give birth to their baby girl in May.

“We are really excited,” Stefanovic told 9Honey on Friday.

“Jasmine looks so beautiful and is handling pregnancy in such an incredible way. Our whole family can’t wait to meet our little princess.”

Jasmine and Karl’s “little princess” will be a half-sister to Stefanovic’s three children Jackson, 20, River, 12, and Ava, 14 from his marriage to Cassandra Thorburn.

In December last year, Karl confirmed the swirling rumours he and his wife were expecting their first child together in the most Karl Stefanovic way possible.

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

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

Speaking on radio in January for the first time since his post, the Today show host seemed excited to reveal the details of his private life.

He told The Kyle and Jackie O Show of his marriage: “We’re glad that some of the heat has died out of the whole thing and we sort of lead a more normal life than we did before.

“(Jasmine) is glowing, she’s happy and we’re all very happy,” he added.

Stefanovic, 45, and Yarbrough, 35, 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 Stefanovic when ratings under co-hosts Georgie Gardner and Deborah Knight plummeted further.

Stefanovic returned as host in January alongside former 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon.

Stefanovic and Yarbrough were the subject of pregnancy rumours ever since they tied the knot, with The Daily Telegraph reporting last year that Stefanovic had undergone a second vasectomy reversal surgery, after undergoing an initial one straight after their wedding.

Stefanovic and Thorburn split after 21 years together, with Stefanovic announcing their separation in September 2016. He met Yarbrough in December that year, before they announced their engagement in February 2018.
