Congratulations!

MasterChef Australia lovebirds Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary have shared more details about their growing family!

The couple, who both competed on this year’s Back to Win season, initially announced on Instagram on October 9 that they are expecting their first child together.

On November 30, they posted a gender reveal on Instagram, which took place at a golf course.

They explained that whatever coloured ball they pulled out of the hole determined the sex of their baby.

In the end, they pulled out two pink balls, revealing they’re having twin girls!

“What’s better than a hole in one, two holes in one! 💗💙 Are you seeing what I’m seeing 👶👶,” Sarah wrote in the caption.

Previously, the couple had shared their due date with Mamamia’s No Filter podcast.

At the time, they didn’t reveal that they’re having twins, and said they would have a “summer” baby, expected around the end of this year or early 2026.

Sarah also explained that she didn’t initially realise she was pregnant, but knew something was amiss when she fell sick at the end of a work trip to India.

“I’m going through customs in the airport, and out of nowhere, I just vomit in a bin,” she explained.

Once she arrived in Cairns, where she was meeting Declan and some of her co-stars, she got the confirmation.

The couple initially kept the news to themselves before sharing it with their family and loved ones.

While their romance might seem like a whirlwind to onlookers, having only met on this year’s MasterChef, the pair were very confident in their relationship.

They said they were both on the same page when it came to wanting children, and even spoke about other options if Sarah struggled to fall pregnant.

Declan said it’s all he’s ever wanted and cannot wait to be by his partner’s side. Sarah already has a son, Phoenix, from a previous relationship.

“I’m so excited for all the little moments, the late-night feeds,” he said.

“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 and enjoy this experience.”

Both are also determined to work through the “hard times”, and support each other’s careers.

More space for their expanding family

The couple have also purchased a bigger house in Bayside, to accommodate their growing family.

“We are overjoyed to share that our little family is growing 💛,” they gushed in the original announcement.

“These past months have been some of the most precious of our lives. A sacred time of holding this news close, letting it sink in, and soaking up all the emotions with those dearest to us.”

“It has been such a gift to sit in the wonder of it all, imagining the beautiful new chapter that lies ahead.

“We feel so deeply blessed knowing this little cherub will enter a world already brimming with so much love. Between us, Phoenix, and Sol, there is no shortage of cuddles, laughter, and warmth waiting to welcome the addition to our family.”

“Our hearts are full to the brim, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share this joy with all of you. Thank you for being a part of this special moment in our lives. It means the world to us.”

Their pregnancy announcement included photos of the positive test, Sarah’s growing baby bump, a family photo with her son, Phoenix, and looking at baby clothes.

Other MasterChef stars have been quick to rush to the comments to share their congratulations.

“Congrats you two ❤️,” Depinder Chhibber commented.

“This is amazing! Congrats to you both xxx,” Sav Perera said.
