To celebrate her “son” reaching the grand old age of 13, the Thank U, Next singer pulled out all the stops on her Instagram Story. Sharing a photo of her Beagle-Chihuahua Cross enjoying the great outdoors, the 32-year-old singer poured her heart out:
“Happy, happiest 13th birthday to my absolute perfect son and the love of my life, the greatest living creation on this big green Earth, Toulouse... I love you every second of every day forever!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW.”
Ariana Grande then shared several fond memories with her “perfect creature”. These included moments captured on stage during her tours, where she is seen cuddling or cradling him.
A dog used to the spotlight
Toulouse is certainly no ordinary dog. He has shared his owner’s star-studded life since he was a puppy. A true pop culture icon in his own right, this little dog has an impressive CV:
He appeared in the famous music video for the hit song Thank U, Next.
He shared the prestigious cover of Vogue magazine with the star in 2019.
He accompanied her to London on the film set of Wicked.
Showing just how close they are, the three-time Grammy Award winner even had Toulouse’s name tattooed on the back of her hand in 2019.
Ariana Grande’s comfort in the storm
This major milestone comes at a time of great change in the singer’s personal life. Currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, Ariana Grande has recently separated amicably from her partner Ethan Slater after nearly three years together.
According to close sources quoted by PEOPLE magazine, the star is now “incredibly focused” on her career, her world tour, and the upcoming release of her brand-new album, Petal, due on 31 July 2026. Amidst this hectic schedule and fast-paced life, dear old Toulouse remains, more than ever, the singer’s unwavering emotional support.
