Karl Stefanovic said in his wedding speech on Saturday that his new wife Jasmine Yarbrough made him a ‘better person’ and a ‘better dad’.
And on Monday, it was reported that the Mara & Mine co-founder was instrumental in healing Karl’s troubled relationship with his 19-year-old son, Jackson.
According to Woman’s Day, she helped her husband become ‘closer’ to his eldest son after they grew apart following his divorce from his first wife, Cass Thorburn.

‘Jasmine has a really strong bond with her own family, so it was her priority that they all find some common ground,’ a source told the magazine.
Jasmine’s grandmother Belle also reportedly told her it’s crucial that she has a good relationship with Karl’s three children for their marriage to work.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Jasmine’s representatives for comment.

Karl shares three children with ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn: sons Jackson and River, 12, and daughter Ava, 13.
Earlier this year, it was widely reported that Karl was ‘estranged’ from Jackson.
In March, Woman’s Day claimed Jackson had been ‘shunned’ from Karl and Jasmine’s commitment ceremony at Sydney’s Palm Beach earlier that month.

And in April, the teenager changed his Instagram handle from Jackson Stefanovic to Jackson Thorburn, taking his mother’s surname.
But whatever problems they experienced in the past, Karl and Jackson appear to be on good terms today.
The younger Stefanovic watched his father marry Jasmine at the One&Only Palmilla resort in Cabo, Mexico on Saturday.
He will also reportedly be joining the newlyweds on their honeymoon in Aspen later this week, alongside his younger siblings.

According to Private Sydney, Karl described Jasmine, 34, as his ‘rock’ during his speech at the couple’s wedding reception.
Interestingly, he claimed his new wife had helped him to become a ‘better dad’.
‘I’m a better person because of you, a better friend, a better dad – tonight I celebrate and toast you Jasmine my wife,’ he said.
