Sylvia Jeffreys has lifted the lid on her brother-in-law Karl Stefanovic’s upcoming wedding to new fiancée Jasmine Yarbrough.

Speaking on Wednesday’s Nova 100 Chrissie, Sam and Browny radio show, Sylvia — who married Karl’s brother, fellow Nine journalist Peter Stefanovic, last April — joked that she doesn’t expect to receive a physical invite to the lavish wedding.

Why? Well, ah, Karl’s less than perfect organisational skills — a trait which seems to run in the family.

“I will just be happy to be there celebrating whenever it all happens. I will tell you one thing, Karl, much like Pete, is not really an organiser. They can’t even really pull a lunch together more than three hours in advance,” the 31-year-old explained.

“Don’t ask them to book the restaurant, mate, because you don’t know where you will end up. Probably at 17 different locations for each guest! If I just receive a physical invitation I will be absolutely gobsmacked that he succeeded.”

All jokes aside, the beloved reporter made it clear that she’s delighted about the upcoming union.

“He is extraordinary happy and we are also happy for him and for Jasmine, too. They’re a beautiful couple. Happy, happy days ahead,” she said.

Last week, Karl finally confirmed his engagement to Jasmine.

“When Jasmine came into my life, I had no thoughts of new love or the future, but we are happy and grateful we found each other,” Karl told TheFIX.

“We are yet to work out when we will get married, but probably later this year. We are both very happy.”

After weeks of parading their speculated engagement in the spotlight, the announcement didn’t exactly come as a surprise!

The pair were previously seen flaunting their happy news at the David Jones Autumn/Winter 2018 Collections Launch in Sydney.

All eyes were on the duo, who began dating just five months after the breakdown of Karl’s 21-year marriage, as they packed on the PDA inside the event. Karl could barely contain his joy as he giggled alongside his 34-year-old fiancée and her gal pals, Jasmine’s collaborator Tamie Ingham and presenter Ksenija Lukich.

Smitten! Karl stayed by Jasmine’s side throughout the evening.

At the event, Jasmine refused to hide her sparkling new engagement ring.

At this stage, the couple were yet to officially confirm their engagement, but for many one look at the sparkling diamond on Jasmine’s left hand was confirmation enough of their upcoming wedding.

Let the wedding planning (or lack thereof) begin!
