Damien Hirst seemed to be getting some fatherly practise in on Friday as he pushed his pet pooch in a pram as he prepares to welcome his fourth child.
The artist, 58, was joined by his fiancée Sophie Cannell, 30, who is heavily pregnant with the couple’s first child together.
Arriving at their favourite restaurant, Scotts in Mayfair, Damien kept it casual in a black zip up hoody and T-shirt.
Completing his look with a grey beanie, Damien’s dog could be seen peering out through the pram as it travelled in style.
Meanwhile former ballerina Sophie showcased her effortless sense of style in a black leather jacket as she cradled her bump.

Once sat down, the pair chose an outdoor table as they were seen fawning over the dog who sat at the table with them.
As the couple left the restaurant later that evening, Damien gave Sophie his hat as he continued to push the pram.
Sophie revealed her pregnancy in November in 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’ and Damien shared NFT artwork of pregnancy emojis he created in support.
To celebrate her pregnancy and Sophie’s 30th birthday in February, Damien picked up an extraordinary cake which characterised his shocking art style.
The huge cake was in the shape of Sophie’s womb and was complete with a very lifelike baby curled up 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 and Sophie have been together since 2018.
They were rumoured to be engaged in 2021 when Sophie snapped a huge diamond on her ring finger but neither have confirmed this to date.
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 Sophie.
It was previously reported that Damien met the dancer at the swanky Chiltern Firehouse, where she used to work as a waitress.
He also paid tribute to her in 2022 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’.
