We don’t typically hear about public figures making dramatic career switches but the ex-wife of Today host Karl Stefanovic, Cassandra Thorburn, was more than happy to embrace the change.

Although she rose to fame as a TV producer and journalist, she has now decided to work as a dental nurse and receptionist.

The news was revealed in Woman’s Day on Monday during a profile of her son Jackson Stefanovic. Jackson shared the gritty details of his relationship with his parents after they split in 2016.

‘Mum’s our rock — she’s very happy and is currently working as a dental nurse and receptionist at a local practice. She continues to inspire me every day.’ he told the publication.

‘I make it a priority to catch up with our dad regularly. We’ve never been closer.’

Cassandra also told the magazine how proud she was of her son, saying: ‘Jackson is the most beautiful young man. He is a very loving and protective big brother. He’s incredibly emotional, and very in touch with others and their feelings, so music is a great avenue for him to explore.’

The separation of the two stars was messy and may have potentially contributed to Karl’s sacking from the Today show back in 2018. However, he returned just a year later as his replacements were unable to deliver high ratings.

Karl received plenty of backlash for his decision to marry his next partner Jasmine Yarbrough so soon after the divorce.

Cassandra didn’t hold back about what she thought of Karl after the break-up, previously revealing in Woman’s Day that he was ‘dead to her’ and that they ‘wouldn’t be friends again’.

‘There were days, in the beginning, I would get up, put on a brave face, and drop the kids off to school. Then, I’d get to the back door and I would lie in a heap for the rest of the day unable to move. Those were very dark days.’ she admitted.

‘I slept on the couch in front of the fire for months because I didn’t want to go near the marital bed.’

Since the split, Cassandra has published a children’s book called Leo Lion’s Big Bed! and competed in Dancing With The Stars in 2019.

Sure about career choices, being close to home and regular hours. But lifestyle, being Karl's Ex must be the best decision ever made.

Good for her!

Hi! A medical career attracts many people now. And this suggests that people want to help others, which is very cool. I am also not mastering the medical profession thanks to https://www.exploremedicalcareers.com/patient-care-technician/, and I just decided to leave the OIC and start doing something useful for people. I think that if we all stop doing marketing and different shows and start doing what is useful, this world will become much better,

Good for her. If she wants to change her career, nothing should stop her. People should be able to pursue the careers they want at any age. Some find themselves later in life, and that’s completely normal. Nowadays, there are many online resources to teach you a new career path. Additionally, you can take classes at a trade school or community college to gain the knowledge and skills that your career requires. Spending your days doing a job that you don’t enjoy can affect your wellbeing, because of the lack of productivity and motivation. I hope she will be happy in her new career.
