Think you know Karl Stefanovic? You might think again after this. Karl is one of Australia's most well known television journalists and co-hosted the Today show with Jess Rowe in 2006. It was a tumultuous time, and they haven't spoken since.

In this episode Karl sits down with Jess for the first time in 14 years to talk about his most important life lesson and how it significantly changed his outlook, why he’s deeply sorry for not being a ‘better and stronger man, and the reason he’s been able to keep a thick skin when faced with ‘monumental’ criticism. Karl also explains why his divorce taught him the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist, and how finding love again with Jasmine has kept him on course. Spoiler Alert: This episode contains tears, laugh snorts, and a whopping amount of vulnerability

You can catch Karl on The TODAY show weekdays from 6am on Nine
