Natalie Portman talks about Rihanna on the Jimmy Fallon Show.
Natalie Portman recently said that Rihanna helped her cope with her divorce from Benjamin Millepied.
Natalie spoke on the newest episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon about meeting the Umbrella hit-maker at Paris Fashion Week in January.
Rihanna described Natalie as “one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood” during the event.
The May December star said Jimmy, “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad bitch.”
Interestingly, Natalie garnered praise from Jimmy when a clip of their fashion week conversation was shown during the performance.
Natalie said, “It was exactly what I needed.”
“That’s a big deal,” said Jimmy.
The Black Swan actress replied, “It was a formative moment in my life.”
Natalie was observed saying to Rihanna, “I love you,” and the vocalist answered, “I am a fan,” at the Dior Haute Couture presentation earlier this year.
Natalie said, “I love you and listen to your music all the time…” You’re such a queen. “Thank you.”
Meanwhile, Natalie shared a snapshot on Instagram of herself and Rihanna hugging at the time.
The actress captioned the photo, “Still not over this… @badgalriri.”
Natalie and Benjamin’s divorce was finalized in March, eight months after they separated quietly, according to PEOPLE.
A person familiar with the situation stated, “Natalie is coming out of a really tough and painful year but she’s come out the other side of it stronger and is finding joy in her family, friends and work.”
