Karl & Jasmine Bust-up After 16 Days

Karl’s axing from Today has put strain on his three-week marriage, claim sources

It’s meant to be happiest time of his life, but last week was undoubtedly the week from hell for Karl Stefanovic.

After months of speculation, it was finally confirmed Karl had been axed from his job as the co-host of Today after almost 14 years. But it might not just be Karl’s tenure on the breakfast TV show that’s over.

Whispers are building that his marriage to Jasmine Yarbrough could be in trouble as a result of his sudden demotion – just weeks after they tied the knot!

On December 16, the newlyweds were spied heading to the famed Matsuhisa restaurant during their Aspen honeymoon. However, an onlooker says things hardly appeared romantic between the two, who were joined at dinner by James Packer and his girlfriend Kylie Lim.

“You would never have guessed they were married,” reveals the onlooker. “She looked like she didn’t want to be there.”

Some believe the sudden change of Karl, 44, and 34-year-old Jasmine’s situation could prove problematic.

“The honeymoon is well and truly over now – although it barely even began,” notes an industry insider.

“When Karl and Jasmine first got together, he was the biggest name on Australian TV. But now that’s no longer the case, and it’s possible that could change the dynamics. In any marriage, change is hard. They are going to be around each other all the time now, and that might put strain on their relationship.”
