Simon Cowell shares adorable snaps with new pet pooch as the dog lover announces new addition to his family
Simon Cowell has added a new member to his ever-growing four-legged family.
The music mogul, 64, who is known for his love of dogs, currently lives with his fiancée Lauren Silverman, their son Eric, 10, and five dogs.
And now the family has a new resident, a pet chihuahua, which Simon showed off in a slew of adorable Instagram snaps on Tuesday.
Simon captioned the post: “I just fell in love,” but did not reveal the dog’s name yet.
The Chihuahua is Simon’s sixth dog, having already been a proud dog owner of German Shepard Pebbles, Yorkshire terriers Squiddly and Diddly, as well as his late mother’s dogs, Freddy and Daisy, which he adopted in Barbados.

In April 2022, Simon revealed that he will leave a ‘significant sum’ to various dog rescue centers in his will, believed to be around £20 million.
The star decided to write his last wishes after a traumatic cycling accident that left him with an injured arm.
The music mogul described the process as “one of the most depressing things I’ve ever done, and one of the hardest,” as he revealed that “everything he cares about” will be included in the will.
Speaking about the sick experience with The Sun, Simon said: ‘Unfortunately you have to – and that day, when it comes, is like, ‘Jesus, I now have to spend the next few hours talking about my death. ‘It was horrible. But the fact that I have done it now gives me peace.’
During the chat he also revealed that he will be leaving a ‘significant sum’ to dog charities including Dogs Trust, K9 in Barbados and London’s Battersea Dogs Home.
Simon rescued Daisy when he came across the abandoned dog during one of his trips to Barbados in 2018.
Simon organizes annual auctions of homeless dogs on the Caribbean island and fell in love with Daisy.
She was found abandoned along with her two puppies, but thanks to charity K9 Puppies, of which Simon is a patron, they were all nursed back to health.

Simon also previously revealed at the time that he hopes to clone his puppies, such is his love for them
Simon has also revealed in the past that he hopes to clone his puppies, such is his love for them.
He revealed he plans to spend £180,000 to have them cloned by harvesting their genes through a South Korean company.
The star told The Sun on Sunday: “I’m 100 per cent into cloning the dogs, all of them. “We’ve researched it thoroughly, got all the details together and I can prove to you that I’m going to clone them. There is documentation.
“I do it because I can’t bear the thought of them not being there.”
The dogs regularly travel with Simon as he works in both Los Angeles and London, as well as an annual trip to the Caribbean, and during the flight the dogs are given their own squeaky toys to play with, and custom-made jum-bones.
