• Adrian Stoica won America's Got Talent season 18 with his dog Hurricane in 2023.
  • Viewers may be wondering what Adrian has been up to since winning the NBC series.
  • Fans also reacted to Adrian's surprise update about his career after AGT.

Back in 2023, fans of America's Got Talent tuned in to see Adrian Stoica win season 18. As for how he drew viewers in to vote for him, he was able to perform incredible routines with his beloved dog, Hurricane. Clearly the two were the perfect team, as they clinched the title and became part of the AGT legacy.

But that wasn't the only time fans of the NBC series got to see Adrian perform his tricks with Hurricane. The duo later competed on America's Got Talent: Fantasy League in early 2024, although their time on that series wasn't quite as fruitful as their previous stint. Adrian and Hurricane made it to the semi-finals, but they were eliminated just shy of the final episode. If that wasn't enough, they later returned to perform on the original AGT series, proving once again why Adrian and Hurricane deserved to win it all.

Now that AGT is airing its milestone 20th season, fans may be wondering about where Adrian and Hurricane are now. As it turns out, Adrian went international for the next stage in his life ... and he made sure to bring his beloved dog with him for the ride.

While it's unclear when exactly they moved, Adrian's Instagram indicates he and Hurricane are currently residing in Italy. As for what the two are up to, they perform for various events throughout the European country while also hosting dog training seminars online.

What's more, Adrian (and Hurricane) clearly know they have an online audience. Adrian loves to show off new tricks with Hurricane on Instagram, while also adding a comedic spin.

"😅 Hurricane ​​is much better than me at doing … everything!" he wrote alongside a video posted on April 2.

Fans are still into seeing Adrian and Hurricane learn new tricks, as evidenced by the comments at the time.

"She is a Superstar! But she's a great teacher, so there's hope for you, too. 😂❤️🐾❤️," one person joked. "Hurricane is so smart. I love these videos. 🥰❤️," another declared. "Aww ... she can do it 🙌❤️❤️ Good job! And, Adrian....you can do it next time!! 😁 Lovely video 🙌❤️❤️," a different follower added.

We're keeping our fingers crossed to see Adrian and Hurricane make another appearance on AGT soon!
