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 have a new resident, a pet Chihuahua, who Simon showed off in a slew of adorable Instagram snaps on Tuesday.
Simon captioned to post: ‘I’ve just fallen in love,’ but didn’t reveal the pooch’s name yet.
The Chihuahua is Simon’s sixth dog, after already being a proud dog owner to German Shepard Pebbles Yorkshire terriers Squiddly and Diddly as well as his late mum’s dog Freddy and Daisy, who he adopted in Barbados.

In April 2022 Simon revealed he will leave a ‘substantial amount’ to various dogs shelters in his last will and testament , which is believed to be around £20million.
The star decided to draw up his last wishes after suffering a traumatic bike accident which 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 covered in the will.
Talking of the morbid experience with The Sun, Simon shared: ‘Unfortunately, you have to — and that day, when it comes, is like, ‘Christ, I’ve now got to sit and talk about my death for the next few hours’ It was dreadful. But the fact that I’ve done it now has given me peace of mind.’
During the chat, he also revealed that he will leave a ‘substantial amount’, 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 on one of his trips to Barbados back in 2018.
Simon hosts annual auctions from 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 pet pooches, so strong is his love for them
Simon also revealed in the past that he hopes to clone his pet pooches, so strong 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 am 100 per cent cloning the dogs, all of them.“We’ve thoroughly looked into it, got all the details and I can prove to you I’m going to clone them. There is documentation.
‘I am doing it because I cannot bear the thought of them not being around.’
The dogs travel with Simon regularly as he works in both Los Angeles and London, as well as an annual trip to the Caribbean, and on the flight the dogs get their own squeaky toys to play with, and bespoke jum-bones.
