Sources were claimed to have told the publication that the ‘engaged’ couple threw a ‘nine-hour party’ at Peter Stefanovic’s Double Bay mansion in Sydney.
New Idea alleged that ‘well-wishers and partygoers were heard cheering, applauding and offering congratulations during the nine-hour party on January 20’, held at Peter’s luxury abode.
The lavish bash is said to have occurred after ‘Karl got down on bended knee on January 14, asking Jasmine to marry him in a romantic proposal, before returning to Australia on January 19’.
It’s also been claimed that Jasmine went to ‘extreme lengths’ to hide her sparkling engagement ring from view.
