But before Harper came along, Jasmine was already playing the role of step-mum to Karl’s other three children: Jackson, 22, Ava, 16, and River 14 – and it appears there’s plenty of love.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the shoe designer posted an adorable birthday message to step-daughter Ava, who is celebrating her sweet sixteenth.

“Happy Sweet 16th beautiful girl,” Jasmine captioned a carousel of snaps, which includes a snap of the pair striking a pose together, while a follow-up shows Ava holding a birthday cake.

Another candid snap reveals the teen was gifted a second cake, which features a pretend ice-cream cone, made out of fondant icing, which appears to be melting over the dessert.

The final snap in the mix shows the teenager, who goes by the name Willow, posing for a selfie in an elevator, alongside dad Karl and step-mum Jasmine.

Another person stated: “She looks like Julia Roberts. Happy birthday,” while a third fan added: “Happy Birthday, enjoy your special day.”

Jasmine’s sweet gesture comes after Karl took to Instagram to share his own birthday message, which included a series of throwback photos, including one of him and Ava on a trampoline.

“Happy birthday my love. Sixteen. What a light you are. And what love and happiness shines from you. @willowstefanovic,” the Today host wrote.

The post was flooded with birthday wishes for the 16-year-old including comments from Jasmine and her sister Jade.
