With rumours swirling that he’s finalising his split with Cassandra Thorburn, Karl Stefanovic is reportedly moving fast to set up his new life with girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough.
Friends say Karl, 42, who took a controversial break from Today last week to visit shoe designer Jasmine in LA, is so in love he’s planning to propose soon – and has already asked her father Robert for his permission!
“Karl and Jasmine went to stay with her parents twice while she was in Australia, and Karl was desperate to prove to her family that he’s really serious about her,” a source close to the pair reveals.
“He made a point of taking her dad to one side and telling him he’s genuinely in love and this is in no way a rebound or fling.”
Karl hit it off with Jasmine’s parents.
Karl even confessed to Robert that he plans to pop the question to 33-year-old Jasmine just as soon as he can.
“He told him he wants to marry Jasmine and is keen to have kids with her,” our source adds.
The head-over-heels TV host has become so close to Jasmine’s parents, he calls her mum Cheryl for “regular chats.”
“The trips were the icing on the cake,” our insider tells us. “I’ve never seen Karl like this before – he’s very happy.”
Karl’s taking time out from his TV hosting duties to plan his new life with Jasmine.
