Michael Clifford introduced his new puppy to fans on Instagram this week and we’ve never seen a smile so big!
The 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist even matched his new dog, named Moose, with fun, red sunglasses in the pic.
“world – please welcome to our family…. SWEET GIRL MOOSE!!” he shared about his and fiancee Crystal Leigh‘s new addition to the fam. “It’s been a little over a year since our little baby Georgia passed away, and after working our way through the grief and sadness, we came to the realization that the love we had for her would never be replaced.”
Michael continued, “We were really hesitant about getting another dog because we were worried things would never feel the same, but when we realized @southy was grieving even more than us we accepted that we had to move through it. In saying that, sometimes the best way to work through sadness is just to love more. and my god Moose is a dog who loves more than anyone.”
“Incredible win at the the @iHeartRadio awards!!! We won best group. Thank you so much for being with us through our ups and downs. We are on a high right now!!” the guys wrote on their Twitter page.
“‘It’s important for us to challenge peoples perceptions of a modern rock band In pop music world’ @Calum5SOS,” another tweet read.
Earlier in the week, Michael and Crystal announced their engagement during a trip to Bali for their three-year anniversary.
After Michael shared a heartfelt note on his Instagram, Crystal also shared her thoughts about the incredible moment.
“there aren’t enough words in the english language to describe this love or how I felt in this moment ❤️ he knows, I know, and I pray that one day everyone knows the feeling of a love so big that words don’t do it justice,” she wrote.
It features lead vocalist Luke sitting in a car in the middle of an abandoned race track at night. Two cars then crash into either side of the vehicle, leading to a fiery explosion.
“Now I wish we never met/ Cause you’re too hard to forget/ While I’m cleaning up your mess/ I know he’s taking off your dress,” he sings.
“Lie to Me” is part of 5SOS‘s 2018 album Youngblood.
The longtime couple were in Bali for the #DestinationGUESS retreat, and Bali just happens to be where they got together and shared their first kiss. The duo returned to The Ungasan Clifftop Resort to celebrate their three-year anniversary with a group of their closest friends last weekend.
Michael scattered pictures throughout the tent of special moments from their relationship from their first picture together, first I love you and first anniversary to pictures of their lives together.
During the moment, “Medicine” by The 1975 was playing when Crystal walked into the tent. The track is special to the couple, because it was the song playing when they first kissed in the exact same spot three years ago.
The happy couple celebrated with a surprise engagement dinner next door where Michael had their close friends waiting.
Dinner was catered by acclaimed Australian Chef, James Viles, owner of the two-hatted restaurant Biota Dining in Bowral, New South Wales.
The 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist revealed to fans that he asked Crystal to marry him.
“I was lucky enough to ask the love of my life to marry me in the place it all began for us,” he wrote on Instagram. “In the last 3 years she has helped evolve and shape who I am in ways I could never have imagined.”
Michael added, “I couldn’t ask for anyone better to spend the rest of my life with. I love loving you, Crystal.”
