Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough's secret commitment ceremony

Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough got hitched in a secret commitment ceremony in Palm Beach on Saturday evening.

The Channel 9 Today show host, 43, and the shoe designer, 34, held the ceremony in the back garden of a private home under a wooden arch.

The low-key event in front of their close friends and family threw unsuspecting media off the scent because it had been expected they would opt for an OTT affair.

The event came as a surprise to many, particularly Stefanovic's youngest children, Ava, 12, and River, 11, who are believed to have not known about the ceremony until 3pm that afternoon when they were already at the venue.

It is said to have caused some upset.

Stevanovic's eldest son, Jackson, 18, reportedly did not attend.

Stefanovic's brother Peter Stefanovic and his wife Sylvia Jeffreys, who both also work for Channel 9, were spotted at the mystery soiree.

Stefanovic and Yarbrough went public with their engagement last month after a relationship that has lasted at least one year.

The TV host and his wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn, a fellow journalist, announced their split in September 2016. They were divorced in October last year.

Karl Stefanovic did not respond to Fairfax Media's request for comment.
