Damien Hirst seen for the primary time since welcoming his new child son

Damien Hirst and his fiancée Sophie Cannell were seen for the first time out and about with their newborn baby on Monday. 

The couple appeared to be joined by friends as they enjoyed an afternoon at their favourite restaurant Scott’s in Mayfair. 

The British artist, 58, and the ballerina, 30, announced the arrival of their first son together last month. 

It is Damien’s fourth son as he already shares three boys  aged 28, 23 and 18 with his former partner Maia Norman.

The baby, whose name has yet to be announced, was seen being pushed in a diamond encrusted pram designed by Damien himself and said to be worth £50,000.

The eye-catching stroller was adorned in multi-coloured butterflies as they parked it next to the table. 

Sophie was seen cradling the newborn in her arms after becoming a mother for the first time last month. 

The new mother kept it casual in a baggy grey T-shirt, grey jogging bottoms and trainers as she cradled her son. 

Meanwhile Damien kept it simple in a black T-shirt and jacket as he enjoyed the family outing. 

He completed the look with some sunglasses and was seen with a napkin over his head to protect himself from the sun. 

The couple were also joined by their dog who they were previously seen pushing around London in a pram ahead of their son’s birth. 

Last month Damien took to Instagram to announce the birth as he shared a picture of himself holding the baby while a snooker match played on a phone beside him.

‘Trying not to let the arrival of this beautiful baby boy interfere with the snooker,’ Damien joked.

Sharing another picture of their son on Instagram, Sophie said: ‘Welcome to the World OUR BOY.’

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.
