The latest addition to the Cyrus household is a piglet named Bubba Sue.
And on Sunday, Miley Cyrus took to Instagram to announce the newest member of her family.
Though she is currently in the middle of her Bangerz tour, the 21-year-old clearly had plenty of time to shower the little piglet with affection.

Bubba Sue nestled into Miley's lacy denim tank top, as the Party In The USA singer expertly balanced both the new piglet and her camera to take the snap.
A final photo of Miley relaxing inside what was likely a jet captured the 21-year-old as she gently cradled Bubba Sue against her chest.

Miley's bright blonde hair was pulled up into knot, and she donned stonewash denim jacket embellished with sequins and patches. 'Piggy on a pj,' she described the photo.
In 2012 a piglet named Nora was sponsored by PETA for the singer's 20th birthday.
According to E!, Tracy Reiman, Executive Vice President of PETA, said of the sponsorship: 'PETA knew that sponsoring a rescued pig was the perfect birthday present for a young woman who spends so much time encouraging others to help animals.'
She added: 'From promoting animal adoption to speaking up for cows who suffer on dairy farms, Miley never stops letting her millions of fans know what they can do to make the world a kinder place.'
