Sara Roza sparked pregnancy rumours in August when she announced on Instagram she was entering ‘the next chapter in [her] life’.
And on Monday, the Married At First Sight star appeared on Channel Nine’s Today show to discuss her fertility journey after choosing to freeze her eggs.
The 40-year-old claimed her love life hadn’t panned out as she had hoped and felt ‘really empowered’ to be taking matters into her own hands.

‘My love life didn’t pan out’: Sarah rose to fame on Nine’s dating series, Married At First Sight where she ‘married’ Telv Williams (R), whom she has since split with
Sarah told Nine journalist Deborah Knight that a number of factors influenced her decision to freeze her eggs, inducing a lackluster love life, a higher focus on career in her youth, and her current age.
Sarah said she’d been thinking about freezing her eggs for the past five years and was increasingly aware that her biological clock was ticking.
‘That is my heart’s desire; to have a child in my life. For me it was something, OK if I can’t find the man I’ll go to the next level,’ she said.
‘I feel like I have done everything possible to secure the future of my fertility. I have taken the power back into my hands and it makes me feel really especially especially empowered,’ she said of the procedure, which is estimated at $8,000.
She also claimed to have undergone counselling prior to making the potentially life-changing decision.

Sarah was joined by Dr Lieberman from Sydney’s Genea Horizon – the clinic which has previously admitted to being in a paid partnership with the reality star.
The sponsorship agreement wasn’t mentioned on the program, nor on Sarah’s recent related posts on social media.
‘I’m so glad I was able to share my experience with The Today Show viewers this morning as fertility is such an important topic that affects so many women & couples nowadays. I feel so happy about the decision I’ve made & also really empowered by taking these first crucial steps to protect the future of my fertility & I only hope that my story will inspire other women to seek further knowledge for themselves if this is something they may be considering too. By me talking candidly about my egg freezing journey it hopefully will help to normalise a usually very taboo subject,’ Sarah told Daily Mail Australia on Monday.
Daily Mail Australia has also contacted Genea Horizon and Today for comment.

Sarah, who previously appeared on The Amazing Race, rose to fame earlier this year when she appeared on Nine’s dating series, Married At First Sight.
Unfortunately, her ‘marriage’ to Telv Williams ended in heartbreak and they were later embroiled in a public slanging match.
However, the star remains positive when it comes to love, and insists she’s still hopeful she will find a nice man who she will naturally conceive a child with.
