She is a proud dog lover and owner of three pet dogs, Ava, Shivraj, and Mia.
And Elizabeth Hurley has welcomed even more pooches to her family after her two-year-old spaniel Ava reportedly gave birth to a litter of puppies.
The model, 55, often shares sweet snaps of her dogs to her Instagram page but the newest additions to her brood have yet to make an appearance on her social media.
Puppy love: Elizabeth Hurley, 55, has welcomed even more pooches to her family after her two-year-old spaniel Ava (pictured in May 2020) reportedly gave birth to a litter of puppies
According to The Sun, Ava gave birth to her puppies after she mated with a friend’s dog, saying: ‘Liz has wanted pups for years but her schedule has made it impossible.
‘Being at home so much in the pandemic gave her the perfect opportunity.’
However, it is unclear if the Hurley’s black labrador, Shivraj, one, is actually the father of the puppies and Elizabeth and her son Damien, 19, were said to be eagerly waiting to see what the pups would look like.
The puppies are said to have all found new homes, though it is thought that the actress may want to keep one in her Herefordshire country mansion.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for the star for comment.
The beauty introduced her dog Ava to her Instagram followers in May 2019 weeks after the previous family dogs Emily, 16, and Raja, 11, passed away.
Both Liz and her teenage son frequently share snaps on their Instagram accounts of the family dog being showered with affection.
The floppy-eared pet was also a regular fixture on social media as the family isolated at home at their Herefordshire estate during the UK’s nationwide lockdown.
New Labrador puppy Shivraj was adopted last year and made his social media debut in September.

The news came after the actress recently discussed her ‘strong’ friendship with ex boyfriend Hugh Grant, 60, saying that they ‘went through so much together’ as a couple.
She also revealed that she thinks the best way to ‘keep good relations with your exes’ is to have respect for their current life, partners and children.
She told People Magazine: ‘I’m still extremely good friends with Hugh, you know, we went through so much together.
‘But I’ve been thinking, one of the most important things to keep good relations with your exes is to have a lot of respect for their current life.
‘We haven’t been romantically involved for 20 years, I think, even though we have such a strong friendship, but we’re always very aware that there are other people in our lives.’

She did add that you have to be respectful of each other’s partners and children and that you can’t live in ‘a lovely, rosy, mist of the past’.
The beauty explained that you have to ‘move with the times’ and be ‘very respectful of the present’.
The pair split in 2000 after 13 years together but remain good friends, despite their break-up.
Hugh is now happily married to television producer, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, after the pair tied the knot in 2018.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth is currently single but has experienced several high-profile relationships with the likes of Arun Nayar and Shane Warne.
