Karl proposed to Jasmine with a $100,000 engagement ring in February 2018.

They got married in December 2018 at the five-star One&Only Palmilla resort, surrounded by 200 of their closest friends and family.

Guests included Carl’s three children, Jackson, Ava and River, from his first marriage to former TV producer Cassandra Thorburn.

On May 1, 2020, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Harper Mae.

“Five years of laughter and love.  Your strength, resilience, clarity and unwavering commitment to what is right continues to give me strength.  You made me a better person.  “I love you,” Karl wrote.

The start of their relationship was marred by controversy, with Karl’s reputation taking a hit after he split from his wife of 21 years, Cassandra, in September 2016.

By February 2017, Karl went public with Jasmine, a former model turned shoe designer who is 10 years his junior.

“I certainly didn’t expect to meet someone five months after I separated from my wife. It wasn’t planned, I didn’t know her before,” he explained in an interview with The Daily Telegraph’s Stellar Magazine in July 2017.

Despite telling the publication they were “taking things very, very slowly,” the couple announced their engagement just seven months later.
