Fans always love to see their favourite stars socialising with each other. Recently, ‘Black Swan’ actress Natalie Portman spoke about the time when Rihanna helped her through a tough time in her life.

The Oscar-winning actor recently appeared on the latest episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ and talked about his meeting with the Grammy-winning singer (Rihanna) at Paris Fashion Week in January 2024. He recalled the moment when Rihanna called him “one of the hottest girls in Hollywood.” At the time, Portman was going through a tough divorce from her former partner Benjamin Millipied. He said that Rihanna’s compliment boosted his confidence.

Portman described the moment on the show, saying “It was an amazing experience for me. I think every woman going through a divorce should hear Rihanna tell me she’s a bad wife. It was exactly what I needed.” The actor has spoken openly about her struggles, and this moment of kindness and support from Rihanna made a significant impact on her.

The actress also shared a picture of them hugging on social media. She wrote in the caption, “Still can’t get over this. @badgalriri.”

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millipede, who met on the set of ‘Black Swan’, officially divorced last month. Portman, 43, filed for divorce in France in July and it was finalized last month, ending their 11-year marriage.
