She revealed the pet was just 6 years old, and passed away after complications from knee surgery.

On Monday, Coco posted a photo collage featuring a few candid snaps of Spartacus over the years, and thanked fans for their condolences. Ice also expressed his sadness with an Instagram tribute for Spartacus, whom he called his “Best Friend.”

The couple’s baby daughter, Chanel, had also grown close to the treasured pooch. In a touching pic shared on her own Instagram page, which her parents manage, the infant is seen snuggling with her furry pal and mom. A heartfelt note written on Chanel’s behalf accompanied the shot.

“He was a cuddler and a lover,” the caption read. “I had a short time with him here on earth but worth every minute of it.”

Spartacus enjoyed Thanksgiving last week with his loved ones, including Ice and Coco’s other bulldog, Maximus. The canine pair was pictured on their shared Instagram page lounging with Ice at home during holiday festivities. Coco assured fans that the dogs’ account will remain active, gently joking that Maximus wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Max won’t stop posting pics,” she wrote.
