MasterChef Australia favourite Sarah Todd has proudly showcased her dazzling new engagement ring on social media, following her romantic proposal from fiancé Declan Cleary. The television personality took to Instagram to share a close-up of the exquisite jewellery, sparking excitement among her followers.
A Glittering Revelation on Instagram
On Monday evening, Sarah Todd posted a striking image of her hand adorned with a magnificent tear-shaped pink diamond, elegantly set upon a sleek gold band. The 38-year-old restaurateur accompanied the photograph with a heartfelt message to her partner, writing 'Always, Always' before tagging her food-loving beau in the caption.
The couple, who famously met while filming MasterChef: Back to Win in 2024, have yet to make an official announcement regarding their wedding plans on the platform. However, Declan Cleary, aged 27, had already hinted at their engaged status earlier this month through his own social media activity.
Social Media Hints and Family Life
Declan shared a video to his Instagram Stories featuring a mouth-watering meal preparation, with the caption 'Ribs are ready, my two daughters are asleep, happy fiancé, happy Sol, happy Tuesday.' This casual reference confirmed their engagement to attentive followers before Sarah's more direct reveal.
The pair welcomed twin daughters, Claudia and Charlotte, on Christmas Eve, adding to Sarah's family as she is already mother to 14-year-old son Phoenix. In a further Instagram post, Sarah shared a video of herself displaying the ring while taking her daughters for a walk, accompanied by the couple's dog, Sol.
From MasterChef Romance to Family Expansion
Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary first connected during the seventeenth season of MasterChef Australia, going public with their relationship in early 2025. Their whirlwind romance saw Queensland-born Sarah relocate to Melbourne to be with Declan, blending their lives together rapidly.
Prior to welcoming their twins, the couple indulged in what they described as a luxurious 'babymoon', travelling to Dubai and India for one final international trip before parenthood. They stayed at the exclusive Atlantis resort on The Palm in Dubai, a celebrity-favoured destination known for its premium amenities and substantial price tags.
Luxurious Preparations and Future Plans
Speaking about their pre-baby holiday, Declan Cleary explained 'We kind of took that as a babymoon, relaxing at The Atlantis on the Palm in Dubai and just doing all those loungy, resorty, hotel holiday activities.' The glamorous resort has hosted numerous A-list celebrities including Beyoncé, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Minogue, with room rates ranging significantly for overnight stays.
The couple celebrated their impending arrival with a baby shower alongside their culinary-themed celebrations, maintaining their connection to the food world that brought them together. Daily Mail has approached Declan Cleary for additional comment regarding their engagement and future plans.
For her casual outing showcasing the ring, Sarah Todd opted for a stylish grey tunic dress paired with white sneakers and matching socks. She completed the look with her dark hair flowing freely, accessorising with fashionable sunglasses and a designer handbag worn across one shoulder, presenting a picture of contented family life.
