**In one of the most joyful celebrity stories of the season, MasterChef Australia stars Sarah Todd (37) and Declan Cleary (27) have welcomed twin baby girls — arriving just in time for Christmas. The couple shared the news with fans on social media late on Christmas Eve, revealing the beautiful names they chose for their daughters: Claudia and Charlotte.
The announcement was made via a heartfelt Instagram post from the proud parents, who wrote “Claudia and Charlotte. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.” Declan also shared a touching message saying, “My three girls are healthy in my arms,” in reference to the twins and Sarah herself.
From MasterChef to Family Life
Their love story captured fans long before the babies arrived. Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary first connected during the 2025 season of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win, where their chemistry was evident on screen. The couple got serious off camera, moved in together in Melbourne, and publicly announced their pregnancy in October 2025, later revealing they were expecting twins.
Sarah is a well‑known chef, television personality, restaurateur, cookbook author, and model. She rose to fame with her debut on MasterChef Australia in 2014 and has since built a successful culinary career. Declan, a former carpenter turned contestant on the show, won fans over not just with his cooking, but with his charm and passion for life.
A Magical Christmas Arrival
Claudia and Charlotte’s arrival has understandably sparked an outpouring of love from fans and followers online, with comments flooding in to congratulate the couple and wish the new family all the best. Many viewers pointed out how perfect the timing was — bringing even more joy to the holiday season.
Beyond just welcoming beautiful new additions to their family, Sarah and Declan’s story — from competing and falling in love on MasterChef to becoming parents — has been one of 2025’s most heartwarming celebrity moments.
