Inside Karl Stefanovic’s VERY low-key 46th birthday: The Today show host enjoys an intimate family gathering at home after COVID-19 pandemic forces him to scrap plans for a huge party

Karl Stefanovic was forced to swap his all-out birthday celebrations for a low-key gathering due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Following the change in plans, the Today show host, who turned 46 on Wednesday, was joined by his younger brother Tom and his wealth manager friend Tom O’Brien for dinner hosted by him and his wife, Jasmine Yarbrough, 36.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Karl admitted: ‘We would have loved to have a big dinner with everyone, but it is too risky. When this is all over, we’ll have a party with all our friends from Victoria – my shout!’

Karl’s visit by his cameraman turned almond farmer brother was even more special given that he had journeyed from Griffith to Sydney to see him. 

The breakfast show star’s pal Simon also brought along his wife Caro for the birthday dinner held at him home. 

On Wednesday, it appeared that Karl was all tuckered out by the afternoon.

His wife Jasmine Yarbrough, 36, shared a sweet photo of her husband napping alongside their three-month-old daughter Harper on Instagram.
