Karl Stefanovic’s eldest son Jackson will miss his wedding to Jasmine Yarbrough, according to a report.
A source told Daily Mail Australia in March that Jackson was not invited to his and fiancée Jasmine Yarbrough’s commitment ceremony.
And according to The Sunday Telegraph, the 18-year-old will not be in attendance at the Today show host’s nuptials in December.
A source close to the paper said Jackson, who is currently travelling through Europe, will be a no-show at the wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The ceremony is reportedly scheduled to take place on December 8 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Those who are a yes on the guest list are reportedly Jasmine’s Mara and Mine business partner Tamie Ingham and her sister Katie, James Packer and his girlfriend Kylie Lim, Richard Wilkins and his girlfriend Virgina Burmeister, and Karl’s manager Sharon Finnigan.
It’s also been claimed that Karl’s brother Peter Stefanovic will not be best man.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Karl’s management for comment.
Karl has recently been forced to defend himself against claims that his three children – Jackson, 18, Ava, 13, and 11-year-old River – are being neglected by his side of the family.
Earlier this month, he told The Daily Telegraph: ‘First and foremost, I’m a dad… and I’m not going anywhere. I love my kids. They know that. And that’s what matters.
‘I don’t want my silence, or the fact that my children aren’t visibly front and centre with me for everyone to see, to be misinterpreted as absence. That couldn’t be further from the truth.’
The breakfast TV presenter said that he didn’t want to publicly make a statement about his children but felt compelled to after Cassandra claimed his family had ‘discarded’ their three children.

Karl’s response came after Cassandra commemorated the two-year anniversary of their split by sitting down for a blistering tell-all interview with AWW on Thursday.
‘Last year, I declared that Karl really was dead to me, a man I no longer know, but the children still have their father,’ she said.
‘The flip-side of that is I feel like we’re dead to his family and almost anyone from our old life.
‘There has been practically no contact. I feel like we’ve been discarded and disposed of, replaced by a whole new line-up of starters.’
After the AWW article was published online, a Stefanovic family spokesperson issued a statement to The Fix refuting Cassandra’s claims.
‘We are disappointed Cass would claim such inflammatory suggestions that we have alienated Karl’s children from our family,’ the statement to The Fix read.
‘Nothing could be further from the truth. Karl regularly co-parents his children and has his loving family around them.
‘We refuse to keep a running dialogue of the children… Family is often compromised when parents go through a painful divorce and we do our best to continue our love and support for the children.’

Back in March, a source close to Karl confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Jackson, along with the TV host’s other children Ava, 13, and River, 11, did not attend Karl and Jasmine’s commitment ceremony.
Karl, 43, and Jasmine, 34, had an intimate ceremony where they pledged their love for one another at a $13 million mansion in Sydney’s Palm Beach in March.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia at the time, the source revealed that Karl only invited two of the three children he shares with his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn.
Despite the invite, both Ava, 13, and River, 11, are said to have declined to attend the ceremony, but did appear to join in the celebrations afterwards.
The source also revealed that Jackson was not invited to the event after a difficult time with the divorce.
Karl and Jasmine have enjoyed a whirlwind romance since meeting at a Sydney boat party in December 2016.
The couple confirmed their engagement in February, with New Idea reporting Karl had popped the question to Jasmine during a holiday in Fiji.

In late February, after his bride-to-be flashed her $150,000 engagement ring, Nine’s million dollar man confirmed the pair would likely get married this year.
Last year, Karl responded to criticism regarding how quickly his relationship with Jasmine has moved following his split with Cassandra.
‘I certainly did not expect to meet someone five months after I broke up with my wife,’ he told Stellar magazine.
‘That was not planned. I did not know her before. I met her on a boat in Sydney.
‘We have a really lovely relationship, but it’s got to be slow for a variety of reasons.’
