Dua Lipa dotes on precious pooch Dexter in playful snapshots days after rescuing the puppy

She unveiled an adorable addition to her family on Friday, when she shared snaps of a puppy called Dexter that she and boyfriend Anwar Hadid had rescued.

And Dua Lipa kept the heartwarming posts coming on Sunday, when she took to Instagram to share snapshot of herself playfully posing with the precious pooch.

Donning a woollen peach shorts set, the 24-year-old New Rules hitmaker was seen cradling her new four-legged friend, before striking a few solo poses.

The British beauty looked sensational in the snaps, wearing her voluminous raven tresses in a high ponytail with side-swept bangs.

Sporting a palette of immaculately applied makeup, the star further glammed up her look with a range of jewellery that included a thick gold necklace and bracelets.

Captioning the images, London-born Dua playfully wrote: ‘[D]on’t talk to me or my son ever again.’

On Friday, the singer posted a sweet picture of her and Anwar with their ‘tiny best friend’, after they adopted the pup from The Labelle Foundation in Los Angeles.

A fresh-faced Dua looked radiant as she pouted in the playful selfie wearing a black tank top and gold necklace with 21-year-old model Anwar. 

She titled the post on Instagram: ‘Our tiny best friend Dexter!!! thank you @thelabellefoundation HE’S PERFECT.’ 

The songstress shared six pictures of their tiny short-haired pup wearing a blue fleece and matching collar.

Last month, the New Rules singer revealed she’d finally returned to America with Anwar following an idyllic getaway on the island of St Lucia. 

The young couple were welcomed back by Anwar’s mother Yolanda with a heartfelt post uploaded to Instagram. 

Despite being eager to return, the couple had to quarantine in the Caribbean beforehand to isolate as Dua is not a registered US citizen. 

They had originally been holed up in ‘a random Airbnb’ in London, after the award-winning belter returned home from her Australian tour to find her flat flooded.  

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Dua, who has just released her second album, said things are going well as she enjoys some rare downtime with Anwar.

‘I’m still in the airbnb, it’s all good,’ she told the ITV show. ‘My boyfriend and I are used to it, we travel a lot so we can make anywhere home. 

‘I got back from Australia and when the self-isolation thing started to happen, I quickly had to find a spot.’  

Meanwhile Dua has much to celebrate as she leads the British nominations at this year’s MTV VMA Awards, which were announced on Thursday.

The singer is hoping to secure her first awards at the event after being nominated in four categories, and she joins the likes of Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi to receive nods at the prestigious event.
