Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary looked every inch the loved-up couple as they jetted off for a romantic getaway in Paris.
The pair, who went public with their relationship earlier this year after meeting on MasterChef Australia, shared a gallery of snaps on Instagram on Wednesday showing them cosying up beneath the Eiffel Tower at sunset.
In the photos, Sarah, 38, stunned in a light blue slip dress layered with a white shirt while Declan, 27, kept it casual in a white T-shirt, denim shorts and sneakers.
The lovebirds lounged on the grass surrounded by other tourists before sealing their outing with a kiss.
Declan captioned the post: ‘We are exactly where we are supposed to be. The right place. The right time. This exact moment with each other we have both dreamt of.’
Sarah responded in the comments: ‘Couldn’t be happier.’

The Paris trip comes just weeks after the couple addressed speculation they were preparing to take the next step in their age-gap romance after moving in together.
The pair told Daily Mail Australia that while marriage isn’t on the cards just yet, they’ve already formed a family unit, with Declan stepping into the role of stepfather to Sarah’s 14-year-old son, Phoenix.
‘It’s all relatively new but it’s working great,’ they said. ‘When it’s right, it’s right.’
Sarah and Declan admitted their romance began with an ‘immediate connection’ on set, revealing they bonded quickly while filming.
Declan also responded to criticism that he is ‘punching above his weight’ with former model Sarah.
‘I’m happy about that (comment). She’s beautiful inside and out and she’s the better cook, everyone knows that,’ he said.
As for claims their recent glamorous photoshoot with an Aussie magazine was AI-generated, Declan said it all comes down to Sarah’s lucky genes.
‘Sarah’s just naturally beautiful. I’m happy with any help. Hair, makeup, AI!’ he joked.

And with the couple now working and living together, are they worried about the chemistry fizzling out too soon?
‘We are just starting our journey together. If chemistry is a problem this early on, there’s no future,’ Declan said.
‘My future looks tremendous.’
Sarah and Declan went public with their relationship in July, revealing that they had already moved in together following the high-pressure show.
They came clean about their secret romance in an interview with Stellar magazine.
Declan revealed that the pair ‘instantly got along’, which saw them spend lots of time together behind the scenes of MasterChef.
However, it wasn’t until Sarah landed in an elimination challenge that Declan’s feelings became apparent, and he knew he needed to tell her how he felt.
They also posed for the magazine, with Sarah looking stylish in denim as she embraced her beau.

For their first date, the pair visited the Grampians National Park for a romantic weekend away, exploring markets, eating at picturesque restaurants and going for walks in the Central Victorian Highlands.
After wrapping filming on the show, Declan made the move from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Melbourne – along with his dog Sol – to be with Sarah and Phoenix.
Weeks later, Sarah’s ex-fiancé Devinder Garcha broke his silence on her romance with Declan.
The project manager said he was happy for them, adding that he’d met Declan for the first time ‘the other day’ and thought he was a ‘nice guy’.
‘I wouldn’t say we’re friends or not friends. We’re pleasant, and good luck to her,’ he added.
Devinder explained he’d spoken to Declan while Sarah was dropping off their son.
‘We try to keep it all amicable. It’s all the best for the kid. Declan seems like a nice guy. Phoenix likes him. He seems pleasant. I wish them all the luck,’ he said.
‘We both focus a lot on Phoenix. As long as he’s happy, I’m happy.’
The father-of-one said he and Sarah were together for ‘about five years [in] total’ and engaged for two before they split.
Devinder stopped appearing on Sarah’s Instagram account around December 2014.
