Kim Kardashian is showing off her family’s 4 recent puppies whether PETA likes it or not.
“Welcome to the fam,” Kardashian, 45, captioned an Instagram photo of her baby Pomeranians on Friday, March 6.
Two photos feature the lovable puppies — a pair with jet black coats, one other with a cream coloring and a fourth with sable fur — snuggling up together on a couch. Several of Kardashian’s famous social media followers were overwhelmed by the cuteness on display.
“Omg. They’re so cute,” Vanessa Bryant replied, with close family friend Khadijah Haqq McCray adding: “They’re so cute, they almost don’t seem real!”

Kardashian originally shared each photos on Christmas Day when she revealed that she’d given each of her 4 children their very own Pomeranian as a vacation gift. (Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West share 4 kids: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6.)
“Each kid got a puppy,” she announced via her Instagram Story on December 25, 2025.
The All’s Fair actress posted several videos of her kids fiddling with the Pomeranians on Christmas morning, including one clip of two of the puppies sharing a sweet kiss.
Not everyone was thrilled with the furry additions to the Kardashian family. Animal rights group PETA’s cofounder Ingrid Newkirk slammed Kardashian’s Christmas gift, insisting that “puppies aren’t plushies.”
It’s been well-documented that the Kardashian-Jenner family loves animals, a trait that they’ve already passed all the way down to their children. Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian gifted their daughters — Penelope and North, respectively — twin Pomeranian puppies in June 2017. Penelope — whom Kourtney shares with ex Scott Disick — selected to call her pup Honey […]
“It’s a rattling shame that Kim missed the possibility to be a spokesperson for shelter pups,” Newkirk, 76, told the Day by day Mail in December. “Ignoring the homeless animal crisis is inexcusably callous.”
Newkirk demanded that Kardashian “call PETA or an area shelter the following time” she was on the lookout for a pet.
“[She can] attempt to make some amends now by sending [her] kids to volunteer at an area shelter or paying for an area shelter adopt-a-thon,” Newark demanded.
Kardashian never directly responded to criticism from PETA.
Within the meantime, Kardashian has been spotted on quite a few outings with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton prior to now few months. Us Weekly exclusively reported in February that Kardashian and Hamilton, 41, had “just a few dates recently” but were keeping things “casual.”
“She has felt able to put herself back on the market recently,” a source told Us in early February. “Everyone round her wants her to be comfortable after all the pieces she has passed through.”
That very same month, Hamilton and Kardashian had their first major outing after they watched the Seattle Seahawks beat the Recent England Patriots during Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Us exclusively learned earlier this month that Kardashian and Hamilton have been spending more time together in recent weeks — including taking a visit to Arizona — because their busy schedules eased up.
“They each had a break of their schedules and decided to take one other trip to spend more time together and really get to know one another,” an insider revealed. “It’s going well, and Kim has been genuinely having fun with her time with Lewis.”
The source insisted that Kardashian is “taking it slow” with Hamilton for now because he’s “the primary person she’s been romantically involved with in a protracted time.” (Kardashian dated Pete Davidson from 2021 to 2022 and Odell Beckham Jr. from 2023 to 2024 following her 2021 divorce from West, 48.)
“Lewis is such an important guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He’s been making all of the plans and ensuring she is taken care of,” a source told Us this month. “Everyone round her thinks it’s really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all features of her life. Her mindset has totally modified. She’s not forcing anything, just letting it unfold naturally.”
