Ariana Grande is mourning the loss of her beloved dog Coco after more than 17 years together, sharing an emotional tribute to the longtime companion who remained part of her life for nearly two decades.
The singer posted a series of photographs featuring Coco on social media, accompanying the images with a heartfelt message celebrating the dog’s life and the bond they shared.
“Sweetest, most amazing and most beautiful Coco… i am so proud of you,” Grande wrote. “thank you for your love, and for blessing this planet with your physical presence for over seventeen wonderful years.”
Grande also reflected on the impact Coco had on her life, writing that the dog made every place she visited “a more beautiful place.”
The singer said she would miss Coco every day and would continue to hold her in her heart.
“I love you so, sweet girl,” she wrote at the end of the tribute.
Coco was 17 years old. Grande’s message did not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the dog’s death, instead focusing on gratitude, love and the memories they shared.
Grande has previously shared glimpses of her affection for animals with fans, including photographs with her furry companions. Coco’s long life meant the dog had been part of the singer’s world through years of personal and professional changes.
The tribute offers a glimpse into a more personal side of the pop star, who has often connected with fans through candid moments and messages on social media.
Grande is also currently taking a break from work after completing her tour, according to a report published by TMZ in August. The break comes ahead of the press tour for Focker-In-Law, giving her time away from some of her usual professional commitments.
For now, Grande’s message is centered on saying goodbye to a companion who spent more than 17 years by her side. Her words make clear how deeply Coco mattered to her, with the singer remembering the dog not simply for the years they shared but for the love and joy she brought into her life.
