The sighting comes after the artist gifted the ballerina a £166,600 18-carat gold Rolex Pearlmaster studded with 713 gems back in August.

It’s so spectacular that Sophie took to Instagram at the time to show it off – along with a whopping great diamond ring on her left hand. 

Such a sparkler did little to quell speculation that she and Damien, her boyfriend of three years, are engaged and ready to commit despite their 28-year age gap.

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.

MailOnline now understands that the couple are not engaged.

Damien’s love life prior to Sophie included his long-term girlfriend Maia Norman, with whom he shares three sons.   

The former couple are parents to Connor Ojala, 26, Cassius Atticus, 21, and Cyrus Joe, 16. 

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

After his eldest child Connor’s birth, the artist spent much of his time in a remote farmhouse near Combe Martin in Devon.
