Karl is ready to go public with Brisbane-born model Jasmine Yarbrough, who has been dating since before Christmas.
The move will see him put his messy split with his wife of 21 years and the mother of his three children, 45-year-old Cassandra Thorburn, behind him.
It’s believed Karl hopes the public declaration will cement his feelings for his much younger girlfriend and prove to her – and the rest of Australia – that he’s ready to say goodbye to the single party life.
Friends say Karl has invited 33-year-old Jasmine to the April wedding of his little brother Pete to his Today Show colleague Sylvia Jeffreys.
Karl sees the special occasion as the perfect time to introduce Jasmine to his family and friends. He also plans to take her to this year’s Logie Awards, later in April.
“Karl and Jasmine don’t want to hide because they aren’t ashamed to be together,” a friend tells Woman’s Day exclusively.
“They are hoping that once they declare they are a couple, public interest will die down.”
