Damien Hirst, 58, and pregnant partner Sophie Cannell, 30, push their pet pooch in a pram ahead of the arrival of their first child

Damien Hirst and his pregnant partner Sophie Cannell pushed their pooch in a dog stroller as they stepped out for the arrival of their first child on Wednesday.

The artist, 58, wore a black zip-up sweater, a blue checked jacket, gray pants and sneakers, and a white beanie.

Former ballerina Sophie, 30, opted for a black hoodie with black slim-fit trousers and a black beanie.

She happily pushed the couple’s white-and-furred Chihuahua in a stroller as the couple enjoyed a peaceful stroll through central London.

The couple last took their pet with them in the dog stroller as they headed to Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair.

Sophie revealed her pregnancy in November in an Instagram post where she showed off her baby bump to the world while lounging by an indoor pool.

She confirmed the baby’s gender with the caption, “He’s a water boy,” and Damien shared NFT artwork of pregnancy emojis he created in support.

To celebrate her pregnancy and Sophie’s 30th birthday in February, Damien wrapped up an extraordinary cake that featured his shocking art style.

The huge cake was shaped like Sophie’s womb and was complete with a lifelike baby curled up inside.

It appears to have been inspired by his series of giant bronze sculptures depicting the development of the fetus in the womb, called The Miraculous Journey.

Damien and Sophie have been together since 2018.

They were rumored to be engaged in 2021 when Sophie broke a huge diamond on her ring finger, but neither has confirmed this yet.

When the couple’s romance first came to light, a friend close to the duo told Richard Eden in the Mail On Sunday that Damien is ‘in love’ with Sophie.

It was previously reported that Damien met the dancer at the swanky Chiltern Firehouse, where she worked as a waitress.

He also paid tribute to her in 2022 by creating a Medusa sculpture modeled on her body as part of four pieces for London restaurant Bacchanalia.

Although 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.”
