Pavic, who lives in Sarasota, south of Tampa, Florida, shared several videos of the damage to the exterior of her home on Instagram Stories for her 139,000 followers.
After Hurricane Milton hit the US state on Wednesday (9 Oct) night, she said some trees in the garden were uprooted and the patio was badly damaged, but luckily water did not enter the house.
She also said that the power went out and is still yet to come back on.
Pavic explained that she spent the night with her children on the second floor of the house.
She said: “Everything is okay with my house.

“Last night, there were some huge waves at sea and the wind was very strong.
“The windows were rocking a lot, but we were able to remain super calm.
“We are still without electricity but everything else seems fine.”

Pavic also responded to the online trolls who criticised her for not evacuating her family.
She stated: “For those who hoped that something would happen to me because I stood firm about not leaving here, I regret to say that nothing happened.
“In the end, I think I made the best decision because I felt that it was the safest place I could be.”
Pavic married Chilean tennis star Ríos in 2008.
They have five children together, including triplets born in 2011.
The couple announced that they had split last year, as reported by What’s The Jam.
