Heavy A DWTS alum took a meaningful trip.

A “Dancing With the Stars” alum flew to Brazil to meet and spend time with her son’s extended family just months after the tragic death of her daughter.

On April 24, 2023, Presley shared some pictures from her time with her son, Navarone Garibaldi, and his family in South America.

“Had an amazing visit with @nava_rone s family in Brazil!! Such amazing people such a wonderful city, such a wonderful. So much love here. Can’t wait to come back! Beeeiiijos #curitiba,” Presley captioned an Instagram post.

This appears to be the first trip that Presley has taken with her son since Lisa Marie Presley died in January 2023.

Lisa Marie Presley was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in her home and was later pronounced dead, according to TMZ. Doctors concluded that she suffered cardiac arrest. The only daughter of Priscilla Presley and the late Elvis Presley was just 54-years-old. She is survived by her mother and her half-brother as well as her three children; Riley Keough, Finley Lockwood, and Harper Lockwood. Lisa Marie Presley was predeceased by her son, Benjamin Keough.
