Karl Stefanovic embarrasses daughter in live TV interview with US ambassador Caroline Kennedy

“I would be so mad at you if I was your daughter.” Karl Stefanovic has revealed his teen daughter’s high-profile crush during an interview with the US ambassador.

Karl Stefanovic has taken an awkward line of questioning while interviewing Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of assassinated US president John F. Kennedy.

The Today host spoke with Ms Kennedy, who is the US ambassador to Australia, on-air Wednesday morning, where he revealed his daughter Willow, 18, wanted to go on a date with her son, 30-year-old Jack Schlossberg.

“I hope that you don’t take any offence to what I am going to ask. My daughter wanted to know if your son is single?,” Karl asked, which was met with laughs from Ms Kennedy.

“You’d have to ask him. I can’t answer that,” she answered. “Although your daughter must be so mad at you right now, by the way, I would be so mad at you if I was your daughter.”

Caroline Kennedy appeared on Today Wednesday morning.

Scaling back his attempts at uniting the Stefanovic and Kennedy families, Karl joked he was referencing his three-year-old daughter, Harper, whom he shares with wife Jasmine.

“She is only three. The other one is taken,” Karl joked, to which Ms Kennedy responded, “Then there is something really wrong with you.”

Willow, whose real name is Ava but she prefers to go by her middle name, graduated from high school last year, and shares a close relationship with her famous father.

Honouring her on her birthday in March, Karl wrote on social media, “Happy birthday to our 18 year old goddess. I’m so proud of you. I will love you forever. And beyond.”

Meanwhile, Jack, the grandson of JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy, is a Yale University and Harvard Law and Business School graduate, and in 2018, he made his acting debut as Officer Jack Hammer on the eighth-season finale of the TV show, Blue Bloods.

Ms Kennedy, 65, is currently visiting Australia, one year into her tenure as US ambassador.

After meeting with Governor-General David Hurley in Canberra on Monday morning to present her credentials, Ms Kennedy said she hoped to strengthen the bond between the two nations.

“To become officially the United States Ambassador to Australia and to be here on this Ngunnawal land, and to mark this moment with a ceremony that carries so much significance makes me feel a great deal of responsibility and strengthens my commitment to work to strengthen the bonds between our nations and our people,” she told reporters.

Ms Kennedy also plans to visit the Solomon Islands next month.
