Brazilian country singer Zé Felipe said he saved his one-year-old child from drowning just three days after moving into his new mansion.
In a video posted to his Instagram Story on Thursday, the 26-year-old, whose real name is José Costa, said his youngest child, Maria Flor, was playing with her three-year-old sister, Maria Alice, when she slipped and fell into the pool.
Felipe, dressed in normal clothes, jumped into the pool and managed to pull the toddler out.
“Maria Flor pushed those things over there,” the singer said, pointing to a pool float. “There’s a step and she started drowning. I jumped in with my sneakers on, my phone on and everything. It’s crazy! You have to be careful.”
Brazilian country music star Zé Felipe revealed on Instagram that he saved his one-year-old daughter, Maria Flor, from drowning in a pool at the family’s country home on Thursday, just three days after they moved in.

Maria Flor was apparently unfazed and went back to the pool while Zé Felipe relived the terrifying incident.
‘You were lucky I jumped. Next time I’ll at least let you have a little [pool water]’, joked Zé Felipe.
Zé Felipe and his influencer girlfriend Virginia Fonseca, who is expecting the couple’s third child — a son — moved into the house on Monday.
Before the family moved into the home, they held a special ceremony, during which the home was blessed by a local priest.

The luxurious residence took three years to build and is located on a 7,000 square meter plot in Goiânia, the capital of the central state of Goiás.
The mansion features six suites, a recording studio, a spa, a beauty salon, a sauna, a gym, a games room and a cellar.
It even caught the attention of Brazilian singer Anita, who reached out to Fonseca for an invite a few months ago after catching a glimpse of the house in a video she posted on Fonseca’s Instagram.
“Girl, can I stay at this spa for a few days while I’m in Brazil? Kisses, love you,” Anita said.
