Pregnant former Miss Brazil has been found safe after going missing while visiting Rio Grande do Sul during deadly floods, leaving her American husband desperately trying to find her.
Natália Anderle, 37, who is seven months pregnant, lost touch with her family and friends four days ago while in Roca Sales, in the Vales Region, as confirmed by Cleber Rodrigues, head of Civil Defense, according to the Brazil news outlet G1.
Anderle, currently living in the United States, traveled to Brazil to reunite with her family and prepare for the birth of her child in Roca Sales, her hometown.
In her most recent social media post on Tuesday, she mentioned the disappearance of her brother's dog from a rural property in Roca Sales due to the flooding.
Evandro Hazzy, president of Miss Grand Brazil, revealed in an Instagram post shared by Metropoles on Saturday that he 'just spoke to Natália and heard from her that they are fine. They were left isolated and without communication. Thank you Lord.'
Across the state, 67 people remain missing, with 57 fatalities. Additionally, 42,221 people have been reported to be displaced from their homes.

Currently, 9,581 people are housed in shelters, while 32,640 are seeking refuge with relatives or friends.
A total of 300 municipalities out of the state's 496 have reported various problems, affecting approximately 422,307 individuals, according to reports.
Rodrigues urged anyone in the region who has seen anything to come forward with any information.
'What we know is that she came to visit the family home with the hope of welcoming her son to Roca Sales. We are asking anyone who is in the region and knows the family to bring information about them, if possible', he said in Portuguese.
Natália, the daughter of farmers, also resided with her family in Encantado, a neighboring city severely affected by the storms in the Taquari Valley.
Eric Thornton, her American husband, had been desperately trying to contact her.
Prior to being crowned Miss Brazil 2008, she worked for around 15 days as a maid to pay for her cosmetology training. Following her victory, she invested in businesses within the construction and agricultural sectors alongside her brother, Lucas.
Amilton Fontana, the mayor of Roca Sales, highlighted the severe challenges faced by the city in communication and basic services.
'Once again, the Municipality was severely impacted by the flood of the Taquari River, which destroyed houses, businesses and access roads.'
