Karl Stefanovic appeared to have gotten enough rest after a few days of chaos after a fiery brawl between the former Australian cricket captain and his Jade Yarbrough broke out in a public park in Noosa.
The 48-year-old Today show host smiled but remained focused as he carried a tray containing two takeaway coffees and a pink milkshake, perhaps for his two-year-old daughter Harper.
Stefanovic was dressed comfortably in all black sportswear, including a black Australian Open branded cap and black Birkenstocks.
He accessorized with a pair of aviator sunglasses and carried a set of keys as he walked back to his car.
It comes after an exhausted Stefanovic walked through Melbourne airport on Friday to return to Sydney.
On Saturday, Stefanovic looked relaxed over morning coffee near his home in Sydney’s Northern Suburbs.
The 48-year-old Today show host smiled but remained focused as he carried a tray containing two takeaway coffees and a pink milkshake.
Despite his exhaustion, he seemed to be in a good mood as he walked through security.
The 48-year-old breakfast TV presenter admitted he was “quite tired” on the Today show on Friday, after traveling from Sydney to Melbourne on Thursday for Nine’s coverage of the Australian Open.
Stefanovic attributed his fatigue to staying up all night to watch the exciting Australian Open tennis match between Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis, which lasted for five hours and 45 minutes before ending at 4:05 am.
However, it is also possible that he was playing peacemaker until the early hours, receiving desperate calls from his wife, sister-in-law and good friend as they struggled to deal with their dirty laundry being so publicly aired.
His appearance comes after days of chaos following the release of an extraordinary video of his confrontation with good partner Michael Clarke at Noosa Park earlier this month.
In footage of the fight, Stefanovic is seen intervening in an argument between Clark and Yarbrough in a public park, after she accused Clarke of cheating on her with Edwards.
The 60 Minutes reporter has yet to make a statement about the ordeal, but was asked about the footage during an event held at the Australian Open on Thursday.
According to the herald sun he smiled when asked about the incident.
‘You know what the answer is going to be,’ he replied.

The dramatic footage, obtained by the Daily Telegraph, shows a shirtless Clarke being yelled at and slapped by his irate girlfriend as others in the group, including Stefanovic and famed accountant Anthony Bell, try to defuse the fight.
Viral video of the Noosa incident shows Yarbrough accusing Clarke of sleeping with Edwards on December 17 and texting him to say she is the “love of his life”.
All hell broke loose when Clarke, Stefanovic and the Yarbrough sisters were having dinner at a beachside restaurant in Noosa with Bell.
The video opens with Yarbrough yelling at Clarke before she punches him in the face and pushes him after the cricketer insists he didn’t cheat on her.

At one point, Stefanovic’s wife, Jasmine, finally steps in and grabs her distraught sister by the arm and drags her away.
Jasmine can be heard saying, “Go to Karl, go out to Karl.”
As she is led away, Yarbrough can be heard crying as she turns to Clarke and howls, “I hate you.”
Clarke then tries to follow Yarbrough before he unleashes a wave of rage on Stefanovic, apparently because he is leaving with the two sisters.
The Yarbrough sisters are from a close-knit family from one of Brisbane’s wealthiest suburbs.
‘Karlos, I can tell you now shit, don’t walk away. She can, she can hit me, but you idiot,” says Clarke.
Stefanovic’s decades-long friendship with Clarke is reportedly rumored to be over.
The Today show host is ‘done’ with the sports star, with sources telling New Idea that ‘Michael has texted Karl and another to Jade’s parents.’
“So far, they have fallen on deaf ears.”
The insider added that Stefanovic “doesn’t forgive easily.”
“Karl has told Jade that as long as Michael’s ex Pip Edwards is still in his life, it can’t end well,” they said.
“Karl wants Jade to cut her losses and go ahead and meet someone else and let Michael learn his lesson the hard way.”
Karl and his wife Jasmine were forced to intervene during the ugly altercation between Clarke and his girlfriend.
