Sarah and Declan’s romance continues to go from strength to strength
In a milestone moment for the lovebirds, they have decided to move in together
Her brunette hair was loosely tied back in a low, messy bun as she carried boxes filled with décor inside the property.
The pair hired a Bunnings ute to move their belongings to the property, and the day was very much a team effort.
Sarah and Declan both showed off their strength as they assisted each other in carrying larger, bulky items into the home.
In a playful moment during the move, Declan swept Sarah up off her feet and carried her outside.
They also appeared to have a lively standoff as the builder carried a fire pit while his ladylove held what appeared to be a dish-drying rack.
The couple were all smiles during the milestone moment – proving their love has blossomed rapidly.
And fans are convinced it won’t be long before an engagement is on the cards for the two celebrity chefs, according to New Idea magazine.
Even Declan’s mother, Samantha, has given her seal of approval, saying she ‘couldn’t be happier’.

She hauled several items of clothing out of the back of her car before quickly moving inside
‘My beautiful boy. I am glad you and Sarah have found each other,’ she commented on a picture of the duo on Instagram.
‘I couldn’t be happier as you deserve the world.’
Sarah and Declan went public with their relationship earlier this month, revealing that they have already moved in together following the high-pressure show.
Speaking to Stellar Magazine, Declan admitted that despite their big age gap, the pair ‘instantly got along’, which saw them spend lots of time together behind the scenes.
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.
‘As she’s walking into the elimination [challenge], I said, “Sarah, can I ask you something? Would you like to go on a date with me?”‘ he said.
‘And she just looked at me and said, “You’re a bloody idiot”.’

While the poorly timed invitation didn’t land the way he thought it would, Sarah eventually came around to the idea of them together.
‘After I got through the stress of the elimination and had a couple of days to recover, I realised it made sense,’ she said.
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.
Now, after wrapping filming on the show, Declan has made the move from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Melbourne – along with his dog Sol – to be with Sarah and her 14-year-old son, Phoenix.
