"I'm fatter than I thought" – Karl Stefanovic urged to "make some changes" by doctor
With his health at risk and his upcoming wedding in Mexico next month, Karl Stefanovic is preparing to tie the knot by sticking to a gruelling exercise regime.
Taking to Instagram, the breakfast show host shared his struggles with his physical health as doctors advised him to lose weight.
The photo, which shows the 44-year-old lifting weights, was captioned with: "I was told a little while ago by a doctor I needed to make some changes to my physical health. It’s been tough. I was fatter than I thought. Ha. But I’m getting there. Slowly.
“I want to thank @osher_gunsberg for the inspiration. And @emiliebrabonhames and @chiefbrabon for making me bleed. Its been really positive. For anyone out there I truly believe it’s never too late.”
And to keep the momentum going, fiancee Jasmine Yarbrough, 34, seems to be supporting Stefanovic’s plans to shed the extra weight as the two are frequently seen going for walks and playing tennis in Mosman, where the couple reside.
The pair became engaged in January this year and took part in a commitment ceremony in March.
Yarbrough, a shoe designer, met Stefanovic in December 2016 following his highly publicised marriage split from Cassandra Thorburn, his wife of 21 years.
