Karl Stefanovic has written fiancee Jasmine Yarbrough a blank cheque to plan the “wedding of her dreams” at one of the most famous celebrity haunts in the world – and this time it will be official!
The divorced father-of-three and Jasmine held secret meetings with a renowned wedding planner months ago at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, still one of the favourites of movie stars and millionaires.
The hot tip is that shoe designer Jasmine wants superstar wedding planner Sharon Sacks.
She famously organised reality TV queen Kim Kardashian’s ill-fated $10 million wedding to first husband, basketball star Kris Humphries.
That marriage lasted 72 days.
“Sharon’s clients read like a who’s who,” says one insider.
“On top of planning Kim’s European wedding to Kanye, she also has Madonna, Pierce Brosnan, Jennifer Lopez and even [former] President Bill Clinton on her VIP list. I’m not sure how big Jasmine is on her radar.”
“Jasmine is a lot younger and obviously less well known than Karl, so she still loves all the fanfare, and likes being a celebrity,” snipes one LA friend, who reveals Karl, 43, and 34-year-old Jasmine spent five nights in an $1800-a-night suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel after their ski strip to Aspen last year.
“They’re pretty well-known at the hotel, and the staff were bending over backwards for them. They met with wedding planners then, and Karl’s already booked the venue.”
The insider says the wedding is expected to be in late November, with less than 100 people invited to see Karl make Jasmine his wife, after their unorthodox commitment ceremony in Sydney last month.
