Mob Wives star Natalie DiDonato, who was previously reported missing, has now been found safe and sound, according to her mother. The reality TV personality had failed to catch two flights back home to Florida, sparking concern. Her mum Denise described their last FaceTime chat about a week ago as ‘rushed’. TMZ has now revealed that the 44 year old is safe, although she reportedly had her ID stolen. Natalie’s mother, Denise Fuoco, confirmed on Wednesday night that she had spoken to her daughter, who told her she was in Nevada. Denise shared that Natalie wasn’t injured but allegedly had her handbag and identification stolen. The family’s main priority now is to help Natalie get a flight home.

Natalie gained fame during season five of Mob Wives, known for her fiery clashes with other cast members, including Natalie Guercio. She hasn’t yet addressed the situation on Instagram, with her last post dating back to December 12, just under a month before she missed her first flight on January 5. In the post, Natalie looked happy, dressed in black and celebrating life, reports the Mirror. She captioned the photo: “Not bad for 44. I love me some me. 44 sitting on 24’s still. (it’s not my bday…I’m just feelin myself, dropped 10 lbs…hit that goal weight).” Adding, Natalie said: “Getting older is a blessing, can’t believe I made it this far. I’m embracing my age because to me it’s a badge of honour to have made it to 44.”

About a week ago, Natalie’s mum Denise spoke to TMZ, recounting a ‘rushed’ FaceTime call with her daughter. The conversation left her concerned, and when she couldn’t reach Natalie in the following days, anxiety set in. A friend named Ben was reportedly the last person in contact with her, saying he believed she was in Las Vegas. Natalie had reached out to Ben for financial help to return to Florida but missed her flight, leading to a missing persons report filed in Vegas. Her mother additionally noted Natalie had seemed “distant” for months, whilst Ben mentioned she sounded “distressed” when asking for flight money.
