The pair are now both following each other, leading fans to speculate things may be back on.
The cookbook author debuted her romance with Mason just 10 months after her split with ex-husband Joe Jones.
She first appeared on Rob’s Instagram page in August 2021, before finally making things official two months later.
It comes as Leong broke her silence after the widow of her late co-star Jock Zonfrillo, Lauren Fried, sparked rumours of a behind-the-scenes feud.

Fried raised eyebrows last week after she conspicuously failed to mention Leong, 42, in a post reacting to the new MasterChef Australia lineup.
She also appeared to take another dig at Leong by saying the new judges ‘respect the privilege of being part of an extraordinary show’.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Leong defended her strong personality and insisted won’t stop being ‘unapologetically’ herself.
‘I like to be direct. I like to be heartfelt in everything that I strive to be as real,’ the food critic told the Herald Sun.

‘We are all humans, humans are complex and you are allowed to have off days. For me it’s about being real and that resonates with people.’
The upcoming sixteenth season of MasterChef Australia will see three new judges – series alum Poh Ling Yeow, Michelin-star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and food critic Sofia Levin – join returning host Andy Allen.
Leong, who starred as a judge in the reality hit for four years, maintains she left the program ‘on her own terms’.
She meanwhile remains part of the Ten family and will be presenting Dessert Masters, a MasterChef spin-off series, alongside Swiss-French pastry prodigy Amaury Guichon.
It comes after Jock’s widow Fried took to Instagram to say Zonfrillo would be ‘very happy’ with the new line-up of MasterChef Australia.
Her remark has sparked speculation that Jock , who died on April 30 of natural causes at the age of 46, did not get along with Leong behind the scenes.
