Karl Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine has once again reached out to Sarah Abo following reports the TV star felt ‘betrayed’ by her former co-host. (Sarah, Karl and Jasmine are pictured together) On Wednesday, Sarah announced on Instagram that she won’t be returning to the Today show before welcoming her first child as she has been ‘in and out of hospital’ with high blood pressure ‘Sending love to you and bubba beautiful Sarah,’ Jasmine commented, adding two love-heart emojisThe first time occurred earlier this month when Sarah uploaded photos of her baby shower. ‘Beautiful,’ Jasmine wrote alongside two love heart emojis. It comes after Daily Mail reported that Karl’s recent ousting from Nine follows what TV insiders describe as a ‘slap in the face’ to his most loyal wingwoman, long-time colleague Sarah. Karl left the network in June, following his interview with Robinson, which was uploaded but then deleted from his independent podcast, The Karl Stefanovic Show.The Sydney Morning Herald, which is owned by Nine Entertainment, had earlier indicated the decision was made in part to ‘defuse a major advertiser boycott’.This is despite Karl, who has hosted the Today show on and off for two decades, still having six months to run on his contract. Platforming Robinson and allowing him to air his thoughts on Islam, immigration and Australian politics was clearly a bridge too far for Nine – and, surely, for Sarah, who left Syria for Australia with her parents and sisters when she was four years old. It is the second time Jasmine has publicly reached out to the Syrian-born presenter following Karl’s sudden departure from Today – the first time occurred earlier this month when Sarah uploaded photos of her baby shower ‘Beautiful,’ Jasmine wrote, adding two love heart emojis It has not gone unnoticed that Robinson – who has multiple criminal convictions – was jailed in October 2024 for breaching a court order prohibiting him from repeating false claims about a Syrian refugee who had successfully sued him for defamation.Sarah is weeks from welcoming a longed-for child with husband Cyrus, following two miscarriages, and is preparing to go on maternity leave within weeks.Those in the know describe her situation with Karl, at best, as ‘very awkward’, and at worst, a ‘betrayal’. Indeed, the toll of the saga was written all over her as she tearfully addressed his exit live on air.She was seemingly handed a poison chalice when she was chosen to sit alongside Karl on the Today desk in 2022.He has infamously fallen out with several female co-hosts – including Lisa Wilkinson and Georgie Gardner – and Sarah was expected to smooth over his off-script quips and provide a stable influence on her erratic co-host.All while earning an eye-watering $2million less than Nine’s controversial poster boy, who was, according to The Australian, on a $2.8million salary compared to Sarah’s $800,000. Though there are reports he recently took a pay cut, but negotiated permission to start his independent podcast as part of those terms. But Sarah rose to the challenge and even became friends with Karl outside of work, with pictures emerging on social media of her spending time with Jasmine and her daughter Harper. It comes after Daily Mail reported that Karl’s recent ousting from Nine follows what TV insiders describe as a ‘slap in the face’ to his most loyal wingwoman, long-time colleague Sarah Sarah was also a guest at Jasmine’s 40th birthday in 2024.She has never had a bad word to say about Karl, at least not publicly, with no suggestion she ever leaked or briefed against him during their four years on Today – a display of loyalty that is vanishingly rare in the TV industry.’Sarah has done what few women in breakfast television have managed to do, which is to create a real rapport and genuine chemistry with Karl,’ said a well-placed source.’They are absolutely close friends. Through all their early mornings at the desk together, he had a front-row seat to her fertility struggles and the pain of her miscarriages, and she was one of his biggest supporters and sounding boards.’They trusted each other. So for him to go down this path of platforming anti-immigration influencers – when she herself is a first-generation immigrant – right at a time she’s about to have a baby feels like a slap in the face to Sarah, their friendship.’
