He teamed up the polo neck number with a pair of white trousers and wrapped up with trendy khaki and blue jackets amid the cold weather.

Throwing a black man bag over his torso, he kept his head warm with a coordinating beanie while protecting others with a face mask amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The actress cut a chic figure in a charcoal wool coat while highlighting her natural beauty with a minimal amount of make-up.

The High Jinx star covered her luscious caramel locks with a black baseball cap and crossed her arms during the autumnal outing.

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

It was previously been reported that Damien met Sophie at the swanky Chiltern Firehouse, where she used to work as a waitress.
