Something to tell us? MasterChef star Sarah Todd's bizarre accessory as she leaves a wedding venue with younger boyfriend Declan Cleary in Melbourne
But the pair added fuel to the fire earlier this month when they were spotted checking out a wedding venue in Melbourne.
The two spent time at Middle Brighton Baths, a popular spot for nuptials, with Declan's dad joining them.
Adding to the mystery, Sarah covered her hands with ski gloves, perhaps to protect against the cold - or to hide an engagement ring.
Sarah looked chic in a baby blue suit, under which she wore a darker blue top.

The chef added a pair of well-loved sneakers, layering gold necklaces to complete her look.
She had on a full face of makeup in a peachy tone, along with a pink lip gloss, and had her brown hair down.
Declan was casually cool in a checked shirt paired with black trousers and leather dress shoes.
The couple strolled hand-in-hand while taking in the ocean vista, appearing relaxed and smitten with one another.
It comes just days after Sarah and Declan addressed rumours they're planning to take the next step in their age-gap romance after moving in together.
The lovebirds, whose romance continues to go from strength to strength, told Daily Mail Australia that while they are not planning to tie the knot anytime soon, they have become a family, with Declan taking on the role of stepfather to Sarah's teenage son Phoenix, 14.
'It's all relatively new but it's working great,' they said, adding: 'When it's right, it's right.'
While the reality stars' romance has come as a surprise to many, Sarah, 38, and Declan, 27, said they had an 'immediate connection' while filming the Channel 10 cooking show.
'Sometimes, things just appear out of nowhere for all the right reasons. We made an immediate connection,' they said.
Declan also responded to criticism 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.
'We are just starting our journey together. If chemistry is a problem this early on, there's no future,' Declan added.
'My future looks tremendous.'
Sarah and Declan went public with their relationship earlier this month, 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.
The couple strolled hand-in-hand while taking in the ocean vista, appearing relaxed and smitten with one another.
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.
Sarah's ex-fiancé Devinder Garcha recently 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.
The lovebirds, whose romance continues to go from strength to strength, told Daily Mail Australia that while they are not planning to tie the knot anytime soon, they have become a family, with Declan taking on the role of stepfather to Sarah's teenage son Phoenix, 14
'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.

BBC woman presenter ‘showed lewd picture to colleague'
The BBC is facing a fresh crisis over claims a prominent female presenter showed a lewd picture to a colleague. The presenter, who has not been named, was ranked among the corporation's top 50 highest-paid employees this year, according to reports. She is said to have apologised to the junior member of staff for showing them the unsolicited nude photograph of an unknown man. The incident marks the latest blow to the beleaguered broadcaster, which has been plagued by scandals in recent years including ones affecting its Strictly Come Dancing and MasterChef shows. It was also revealed earlier this year that the BBC spent more than £1.3m on the fallout of the Huw Edwards scandal, including £340,000 on legal advice over the decision to suspend the disgraced newscaster on full pay. A source told The Sun newspaper that the latest incident was 'a ticking time bomb' for the broadcaster. They added: 'As soon as the name of this woman – and details of her bad behaviour – are unleashed, it will derail entire departments and mark the first female to be formally swept up into the BBC's wrongdoing roll call.' They went on to say that the release of the presenter's name would be 'seismic'. The source added that the decision to show her junior colleague the indecent photograph was meant to be 'jokey, locker-room type banter'. But the younger employee had been 'completely horrified,' and said she 'cried about it'. 'No one minds a bit of office banter, but this was on another level,' the source added. 'She felt like it was an intentionally shocking move to intimidate, veiled as a joke. It was way too much. The woman had to apologise to the girl.' Meanwhile, Jermaine Jenas, the former Match of the Day presenter, has spoken about the fallout from his sacking by the BBC in August last year. He was dismissed after he was accused of sexting two female employees. Speaking to a podcast on Wednesday, the former Tottenham player claimed former colleagues at the BBC took away his life 'in terms of every deal I had, the jobs that I had at that particular time'. He told the Reece Mennie podcast: 'I said that is never happening to me again, so I've recently set up my own production company.' He added: 'This is not their fault, but when you're in this kind of media bubble where you work for the BBC, there are so many walls in terms of what they want you to do and what you're not allowed to do.' In April, an independent review commissioned in the wake of the Edwards scandal found that the BBC continues to reward 'untouchable' stars by letting their bad behaviour go unpunished. The report found some presenters are so problematic that they are 'man-marked' by BBC managers who act as a buffer between them and more junior staff. 'We heard examples of well-known names not being held to account for poor behaviour,' it said. 'A small number of people can become 'untouchable' in the eyes of colleagues. They are known for getting away with poor behaviour, and their reputation spreads beyond their immediate team.' A BBC spokesman said about the latest incident: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.'

She added that they were relieved and planned to spent the jackpot on a fully pink-themed funeral in honour of his mother. The woman said: 'My partner went up to get his medication and when he came back and sat down he looked shocked. I double checked and it said we had won £2,400. We thought we could take care of the funeral with no worries about the expense.'

She told the Daily Mail that since the shocking incident, Gala Bingo has frozen her and her partners accounts and even disabled her husband's chat room privileges. because of his complaining.
