Like father, like son! Karl Stefanovic, 46, looks just like his eldest child Jackson, 20, in resurfaced photos from the Today host’s year 12 formal
Karl Stefanovic’s daggy year 12 formal photos emerged on the Today show on Thursday.
And fans have noticed that the 46-year-old breakfast TV presenter and his eldest son, Jackson, share very similar facial features.
Karl’s teenage throwback, from his days at Brisbane’s Anglican Church Grammar School, showed him with his formal date in the early ’90s.

One fan commented on the Today show Instagram account: ‘Baby Karl looks so much like his son.’
‘Wow haven’t aged, Karl, you just get better looking,’ another wrote, while a third added: ‘Has Karl grown into the suit yet?’
Karl shares 20-year-old Jackson with his first wife, former journalist and TV producer Cassandra Thorburn.

It was previously reported that Karl and Cassandra’s separation in 2016 caused a rift between the father and son.
But it seems they have since mended the relationship after Jackson attended Karl’s Mexico wedding to Jasmine Yarbrough in December 2018.
Last year, Jackson told Woman’s Day he felt a duty to ‘step up and protect’ his mother, Cassandra, during his parents’ high-profile split.
Karl also shares son River, 12, and daughter Ava, 14, with his ex-wife.
Karl welcomed his fourth child, a daughter named Harper May, with new wife Jasmine in May.
Karl was left red-faced when his daggy year 12 formal pictures resurfaced during an embarrassing live segment on the Today show.
Co-host Allison Langdon revealed that she’d tracked down the early ’90s photos after contacting Karl’s brothers for help.
The first image that flashed on screen showed an awkward-looking Karl dressed in an oversized tuxedo with his date, Noella, who looked elegant in a fitted black dress.
