How did Karl meet Jasmine?
What year did Karl and Jasmine meet?
The couple met in December 2016 on a Sydney Harbour boat, according to Now To Love (Australian celebrity magazine). By February 2018 they were engaged — confirmed by Marie Claire Australia (fashion magazine) — and married that December at the One&Only Palmilla resort in San José del Cabo, Mexico.
Where did they meet?
The meeting was a social event hosted by a mutual acquaintance. Neither has publicly named the specific friend, but the venue — a boat on Sydney Harbour — became a recurring detail in media retellings.
The implication: Their quick timeline from meeting to marriage set the stage for ongoing public fascination.
What is the age difference between Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine?
How old is Karl Stefanovic?
Karl Stefanovic was born in 1974, making him 52 in 2026. Reports consistently put him a decade older than Jasmine.
How old is Jasmine Stefanovic?
Jasmine’s age has been reported inconsistently. A 2024 profile Now To Love (Australian celebrity magazine) described her as 37; a 2026 story New Idea (Australian weekly magazine) placed her at 42; and her talent agency profile SF Management (talent agency) lists her as 35 (page undated). The most commonly cited birth year among tabloid sources is 1984, which would make her 42 in 2026.
The pattern: age estimates vary by several years depending on the source and the date of publication. The gap between Karl and Jasmine appears to be about 10 years, though the exact number is hard to pin down.
How old is Karl Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine?
What is Jasmine Stefanovic’s birth date?
No reputable source has published Jasmine’s exact day and month of birth. Her birthday is believed to be in January — Karl’s 2026 tribute was posted in January, leading to speculation that her birthday falls then.
When is her birthday?
Karl Stefanovic publicly celebrated her birthday on Instagram in January 2026, calling her “the rock of our family.” New Idea (Australian weekly magazine) reported the tribute as part of her 42nd birthday. Without official confirmation, the precise date remains a gap in the public record.
What this means: The absence of a confirmed birth date leaves room for continued speculation among tabloid outlets.
What does Jasmine Stefanovic do for a living?
Is Jasmine Stefanovic a shoe designer?
Yes. Jasmine is a fashion professional who has worked in the industry since age 18 SF Management (talent agency). She is the co-designer of the Australian luxury shoe brand Mara & Mine, launched with Tamie Ingham.
What is her shoe brand?
Mara & Mine markets itself as a luxury footwear label. Australian media Now To Love (Australian celebrity magazine) describes it as a “luxury shoe brand” founded by the duo. Jasmine also serves as a charity ambassador for Win the Day, a philanthropic organisation.
Why this matters: Jasmine’s career predates her marriage to Karl by more than a decade. She isn’t simply “Karl’s wife” — she’s a business owner with a seven-year-old brand (as of 2026) and a consistent professional identity.
What is Karl Stefanovic’s ex-wife doing now?
Why did Karl Stefanovic leave his wife?
Karl separated from his first wife, Cassandra Thorburn, in 2016 after 21 years of marriage. The split was widely covered in Australian media, with reports attributing it to Karl’s relationship with Jasmine, which he confirmed after the separation.
When did Karl leave his wife?
Karl and Cassandra separated in 2016, and their divorce was finalised in 2018. Cassandra has since built a career as a media personality and author. She wrote a book titled The Real You and occasionally appears on television to discuss her life after divorce.
For Karl’s family, the split was painful — three children (Jackson, Ava, and River) from his first marriage with Cassandra. For Jasmine, stepping into a blended family has meant navigating public scrutiny while raising two more children of her own.
The pattern: The divorce created a complex family dynamic that continues to attract media attention.

“She’s the rock of our family — happy birthday, my love.”
Karl Stefanovic on Jasmine’s 42nd birthday, as reported by New Idea (Australian weekly magazine)
“Jasmine Stefanovic was spotted parallel parking a taxi in Sydney’s eastern suburbs — a task many would delegate to a service, but she handled herself.”

For anyone trying to separate the person from the partner, the story is still being written — and quite literally, the facts are still coming into focus. Despite the inconsistencies in age and net worth, one thing is clear: Jasmine Stefanovic has built a career in fashion, launched a luxury shoe brand, and raised two children under the glare of Australian media. For readers looking to understand who she is beyond Karl Stefanovic’s shadow, the evidence so far points to a designer and mother with a grounded public persona — but the full biography remains a work in progress.
