Michael Strahan announced some exciting news over the weekend - and it certainly melted a few hearts! 

The Good Morning America star took to Instagram to share footage of his teenage daughter Isabella, 19, introducing a new member of their family - a puppy called Zuma.

In the clip, Isabella held Zuma up in camera shot while standing in the kitchen at the family's home in New York City.

Michael wrote alongside the footage: "Everyone meet Zuma Strahan. New puppy so Enzo has a sister!! Welcome home!" Fans were quick to comment on the news, with one writing: "Nothing like a lil pup to add joy to a family," while another gushed: "She's so cute!" A third added: "Zuma is so adorable!"

 Zuma joins Michael's beloved pet dog Enzo, who often makes appearances on the star's social media.

Zuma's arrival into the family home will certainly keep Michael on his toes - but will also likely be a happy distraction for the doting dad, once his twins leave home later this year.

A friend commented on Isabella's news and added a congratulatory message to Sophia, revealing Michael's daughter was headed for Duke University in North Carolina. 

Michael is also a proud dad to his other grown children Michael Jr. and daughter Tanita who he shares with his first wife Wanda Hutchins. He was married to her between 1992 and 1996 and maintains a good relationship with her.
