Karl Stefanovic kisses pregnant wife Jasmine Yarbrough in Noosa

Following weeks of speculation, Karl Stefanovic finally confirmed his wife Jasmine Yarbrough’s pregnancy on Monday afternoon.

And just hours later, the 45-year-old Today host was spotted enjoying a day at the beach with Jasmine, 35, in Noosa, Queensland.

The Channel Nine presenter went shirtless during the outing and, at one stage, was seen sweetly kissing his wife on the lips.

After cooling off in the ocean, the journalist joined his younger wife for an iced coffee alongside two female friends.   

Meanwhile, Jasmine – who was holding on to the pair’s dog Chance the Yapper – covered up her pregnant figure in a khaki dress.

She finished off her breezy look with a navy blue cap and black sliders.
