Danika Mason ends engagement to Todd Liubinskas, makes a comeback on Immortal Behaviour NRL podcast with Andrew Johns

Danika Mason seemed in good spirits as she bravely returned to her podcast for the first time since announcing the cancellation of her engagement to Todd Liubinskas.

The Channel Nine sports presenter called off her wedding to Liubinskas earlier this month, just four weeks before the big day.

But Mason didn’t let her personal woes affect her work when she appeared in Immortal Behavior with Andrew Johns.

Todd Liubiskas (pictured left) used a family member to mediate with his ex, days after the split, to ask her to return the engagement ring.

The TV personality, who didn’t wear her engagement ring for the podcast, beamed as she analyzed the latest NRL news with Johns ahead of the weekend’s grand final.

She even found time to joke about the possibility of Johns presenting nude weather.

There was no mention of Mason’s heartbreak on the podcast.

This comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed Liubinskas asked Mason returning her diamond engagement ring to her fiancé Todd Liubinskas after she suddenly canceled their marriage.

Mason called off her wedding to the Bondi-based personal trainer just weeks before the ceremony which was due to take place on October 27 at Greystone Estate in the NSW Hunter Valley.

“(The third party) insisted that she was not publicly discussing the breakup with the media and demanded that she return the ring,” a source close to the Mason camp said.

Following the breakup, Mason hunkered down in their South Maroubra home with the couple’s chocolate Labrador, Charlie, while Liubinskas sought refuge at his parents’ home in Sydney’s west.

Mason came up with other plans for what to do on the day she was supposed to have her wedding.

Yvonne O’Keefe – better known as Yvonne Sampson – will join Danika Mason on a girls’ trip to Bali next month on what was supposed to be her wedding day.

Mason is planning a special getaway to Bali with Fox Footy presenter Yvonne Sampson the week the nuptials were due to take place.

The two are close friends, having previously celebrated O’Keefe’s bachelorette party in the United States together in 2018.

The exact reason for Mason and Liubinskas’ split is unclear, with the soccer media world ablaze with conflicting and unconfirmed rumors about what happened.

What is certain is that Liubinskas wanted the engagement ring back on the grounds that it was considered a family heirloom.

The ring itself was a custom piece designed by renowned Sydney jeweler Sam Rahme.

Before reports of a split, the Nine presenter appeared on Sunday Footy without her engagement ring.

Todd Liubinskas sought refuge with his parents in Sydney’s west and appeared visibly unfazed by the media attention this week.

Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the couple were set to tie the knot in a star-studded wedding at the end of October at the lavish Greystone Estate venue.

The picturesque venue spans 10 acres at the end of an olive tree-lined driveway and “designed specifically to host lavish events.”

A post on the venue’s official Instagram account announced the sudden vacancy as a last-minute opportunity for last-minute couples.

“A rare opportunity has become available for the chance to celebrate your wedding at Greystone Estate – with 50% off! an announcement, obtained by Daily Mail, said.

The last-minute wedding cancellation undoubtedly came as a surprise to many of the couple’s celebrity guests.

They were to include fellow sports anchors James Bracey and Clint Stanaway, as well as Liubinskas’ close friend and 440 Run Club co-founder Trent Knox.

The wedding was to be officiated by Seven News journalist and wedding celebrant Grace Fitzgibbon, the daughter of retired federal Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon.

Couple Mason and Liubinskas were engaged for two years after Liubinskas popped the question in July 2021.

Mason remained tight-lipped when approached by the Daily Mail Australia this week.

She was noticeably absent from the rugby league nights, Dally M Awards on Wednesday night.

However, Mason is expected to return to TV screens for the NRL Grand Final on Sunday.
