Damien Hirst, 58, and pregnant partner Sophie Cannell, 30, push their pet chihuahua in a pram on dinner date as they prepare for parenthood

Damien Hirst and his pregnant girlfriend Sophie Cannell seemed in good spirits as they pushed their pet chihuahua in a stroller to dinner at Scott’s on Thursday. 

The artist, 58, and the ex-ballerina, 30, who announced last November that a baby was on the way,  looked carefree as they gave their pooch a ride to their regular hangout.

The pair wore eclectic designer get-ups, with Sophie donning a £3000 Louis Vuitton man’s fleece, with a casual hoodie obscuring her baby bump, and joggers.

She added to the look with an eye-catching lilac handbag.

Damien also aimed to catch attention as he donned skater trousers adorned with statement ‘Sex’ graphics and crucifixes. 

Britain’s richest artist kept the rest his look comfy, all in black, with a beanie hat, bomber jacket and skater trainers.

Even their dog donned designer, sporting a Barbour jacket attached to his leash. 

Sophie revealed her pregnancy in November with an Instagram post where she bared her bump to the world as she lounged by an indoor pool.

She confirmed the gender of the baby with a caption: ‘He’s a water boy.’

Damien also shared NFT artwork of pregnancy emojis he created in support.  

To celebrate her pregnancy and Sophie’s 30th birthday last month, Damien picked up an extraordinary cake which characterised his shocking art style. 

The cake was in the shape of Sophie’s womb, complete with a very-lifelike baby inside. 

It appeared to have been inspired by his series of giant bronze sculptures showing the development of the foetus in the womb, called The Miraculous Journey. 

Damien likes to make a show of extravagant presents for his partner last year, gifting her a £166,600 18-carat gold Rolex Pearlmaster studded with 713 gems back in August 2022.

He also paid tribute to her last year by creating a Medusa sculpture modelled on her body as part of four pieces for the London restaurant Bacchanalia.  

While the couple have been together for four years, Damien has three sons with his previous long-term girlfriend Maia Norman.

The former couple are parents to Connor Ojala, 28, Cassius Atticus, 23, and Cyrus Joe, 18.

Although he never married Maia he referred to her as his ‘common-law wife’.
