Karl Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine Yarbrough has opened up for the first time about her pregnancy, as she enters her final trimester.

The 35-year-old shoe designer says she’s had a “great pregnancy” so far and has been looking to her friends for advice on motherhood.

“Yeah I’m good, going well. It’s been a great pregnancy,” Jasmine told The Daily Telegraph on Thursday.

And she revealed exactly what she’s been craving for the past few months, plus her and Karl’s thoughts on possible baby names.

“[I’m craving] ice cream, all kinds of ice cream. We’ve got a few names but I think we’ve got to meet the baby first,” she said.

Karl and Jasmine are expecting their first child together in May.

The Mara and Mine co-founder says she has also been staying active.

“I’m walking the dog and doing yoga. Just keeping it light,” she said.

She is due in May, but is remaining relaxed about her impending birth, thanks to her reassuring friends.

“All my friends have had great stories so I’m going in with a positive outlook,” she said.

While speculation was building for months at the end of 2019 that Jasmine was pregnant, the pair chose not to make an official pregnancy announcement – and this is the first time Jasmine has spoken publicly about the news herself.

In fact it was only a few weeks ago that Jasmine first showed off her baby bump on Instagram, when she uploaded a sweet selfie to her stories.

Last month, Today Show host Karl, 45, opened up about becoming a father for the fourth time and he also gushed about his gorgeous wife, revealing that she has taken to pregnancy like a duck to water.

“She is glowing, she’s happy and we’re all very happy,” Karl said.

Karl explained the couple are choosing not to find out the sex of their child until the birth.

“We have very few surprises in this life, and there’s been so much of us that is public. (During) the whole thing, we’ve been trying to hold on to ours,” he said.

Karl added: “I think pregnancy is one of those things that is really boring!”

The couple first met on a boat in Sydney in 2016, just months after he split from his wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn.

Karl has three children with his ex-wife Cass – Jackson, 20, Ava, 14, and River, 13 – and underwent a vasectomy reversal in order to father his fourth child.
