The 42-year-old, who skipped their £62million divorce hearing earlier this week, looked in very good spirits as they took a stroll in West London.
The beloved chocolate Labrador is said to be the main bone of contention in the teenage sweethearts' split and it’s believed he was discussed during the hearing that Ant missed.
Infamous celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, nicknamed "Mr Loophole" thanks to his work getting a string of high-profile celebrity clients including David Beckham off due to technicalities, believes Ant will get the dog because they always seem so happy together.
Weighing in on the debate yesterday, he said: "I've no doubt how much these devoted owners both love Hurley.
"But you can tell a lot from the body language between man/woman and dog.
"And in my view, and this particular case, I think Ant is the rightful custodian."
Ant, 42, credited the pooch with helping him tackle his drink and drug addictions.
Make-up artist Lisa, 41, is equally smitten and fills her Instagram with snaps of Hurley.
She even describes him as her "baby boy".
The five-year-old pet was the couple's first dog when he arrived in 2013, at a time when they were said to be trying for a child.
Ant would receive birthday cards with Hurley's paw print when filming away for I'm A Celebrity in Australia.
Hurley was allowed into the Priory last year to see Ant in rehab, when he was not even allowed to see his family.
He brought Hurley to Britain's Got Talent auditions at the London Palladium in February during "bring your dog to work day".
But since their split in January, Ant and Lisa each have custody of Hurley for one week at a time.
Pals say the weekly handovers have been increasingly difficult and shared custody will be one of the key factors of their divorce.
