They surprised MasterChef Australia fans when they revealed they were expecting in October, but it seems Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary have more happy news to share. The couple – whose love blossomed on MasterChef: Back To Win this year – were out shopping for baby essentials when Sarah flashed a diamond sparkler on that finger.
And while they’re yet to confirm an engagement, fans have been speculating a wedding is on the cards for the happy couple, who have already purchased a joint home together in Melbourne.
“We’re having a baby – the bun’s in the oven and it’s all I’ve ever wanted in life,” Declan says of their little one’s imminent arrival.
While they’ve fallen hard and fast for one another, it has been a case of opposites attract for the pair. Declan, 27, is a cheeky tradie from Sydney, while Sarah, 38, is a single mum, accomplished chef, restaurateur and TV personality, who has spent much of her career in India.
But after Declan plucked up the courage to ask brunette bombshell Sarah, out, they quickly became inseparable, with Declan becoming a crucial part of Sarah and her 14-year-old son Phoenix’s life.
“A relationship takes a kind of surrender,” Sarah says of their relationship.
“If you’re someone who’s been fiercely independent, that requires a different set of muscles.”
Declan adds, “I really want to support Sarah in every way I can professionally, so she can continue this career and all this work that she does.”
