Natalie Portman has spilled the beans on how a chance encounter with Rihanna helped her navigate the stormy seas of divorce from Benjamin Millepied.
Picture this: it’s January, and the scene is set at the Dior fashion show. Enter Rihanna, the queen of cool, who sashays up to Natalie and declares, “I am a f–king fan. You’re one of the hottest b*tches in Hollywood forever. You do the most innocent look and I’m like ‘ahhhh!’” Imagine the shock, the awe, the sheer fabulousness of it all!
Fast forward to March, and Natalie and Benjamin have officially signed the divorce papers after their hush-hush split in 2023. But it was that moment with Rihanna that stuck with Natalie.
On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Natalie reminisced about the epic encounter. “It was an amazing experience for me,” she gushed. “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b**ch.”
