MasterChef Australia‘s Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd have given an exciting update about their growing family, revealing that they’re expecting twins.
The couple announced their pregnancy in a sponsored Instagram post back in October, and have now taken to the platform again to reveal the gender of their two incoming additions.
They posted a video of them playing golf, telling their followers that they’d pull a ball out of the hole, which would either be blue or pink, revealing the gender of their baby. However, in a happy twist, Declan and Sarah pulled out two pink balls.
As she was retrieving the balls, Sarah asked Declan, “What’s better than one girl?” to which he responded, “Two!”
The couple’s close friend Rhi Anderson — who competed on MasterChef Australia Back to Win with them — shared her excitement in the comments section.
“Sooooo excited for you both! How loved are these two baby girls going to be! CAN’T WAIT to meet them,” she wrote.
The couple — who met while competing on the second season of MasterChef Australia Back to Win, which aired this year — first shared their exciting pregnancy news on Instagram.
“We are overjoyed to share that our little family is growing,” Sarah and Declan began the post, which clearly included the hashtags #ad and #ClearBlueConfirmed in their caption, indicating that it was a paid collaboration with the pregnancy test brand.
The post continued: “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.”
At the time, neither Declan or Sarah included any information on how far along Sarah is, or if they’ve found out the gender. However, the post was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from their MasterChef Australia co-stars.
“Congrats you two,” Depinder Chhibber commented, with Rhi penning: “Congratulations guys! Love you both so much and feel completely blessed to be part of your loving journey. You guys are going to have the best time parenting and provide so much love and laughter to your growing family! Bursting with excitement! Literally could be happier for you both!”
Declan and Sarah’s romance flourished while they were filming the most recent season of MasterChef Australia.
In a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Sarah said that having Declan by her side in the competition helped push her to do her best.
“I was devastated seeing Declan getting eliminated,” she said. “He’s so talented and passionate about food, and has a lot of creativity in the kitchen.
“Selfishly, I was devastated for myself as well, having that joy in the kitchen, and to be able to walk out after a cook and [have him]. We were just, like, doing our workouts and just having a lot of fun outside of the kitchen. So it definitely relieved a lot of that pressure of the intensity of the competition, so it was definitely not a fun day.”
Sarah and Declan dated post-show and moved in together earlier this year.
“It’s all going amazing,” Sarah told Chattr. “We’ve moved into our house and are still unpacking boxes at the moment. So, I think, in life, moving house is one of the most stressful things, and we’ve managed to be unscathed and no arguments, so it’s going strong,” she laughed.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
