by

As a massive fan of Natalie Portman, I can only imagine how difficult and emotional her divorce from Benjamin Millepied must have been for her. The public nature of their split, coupled with the rumors surrounding his infidelity, no doubt added to the pain and uncertainty she was feeling during that time.

When well-known women experience divorces under the media spotlight, certain incidents become symbolic representations in popular culture. For instance, Princess Diana’s vengeful dress appearance, Nicole Kidman’s passionate parking lot gesture, and Sophie Turner’s frequent dinners with Taylor Swift are some examples. Another such incident is Natalie Portman’s remark to Rihanna, affectionately addressing her as “the hottest woman” in Hollywood.

After her divorce from Benjamin Millepied was completed a few months ago, Portman revealed that Rihanna had been instrumental in helping her cope during this period. Here’s what she shared about the Umbrella singer.

How did Rihanna help Natalie Portman during her divorce?

During her interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Portman expressed her belief that every woman experiencing a divorce deserves to hear Rihanna tell them they’re fierce and strong women. She shared that this message from Rihanna was particularly impactful for her during a pivotal moment in her life.

Portman shared an unforgettable encounter with Fallon when he brought up their unexpected meeting with Rihanna at this year’s Paris Fashion Week. She described it as an “amazing experience” for her. During the chance encounter, Rihanna, an Oscar-winning artist herself, expressed her admiration for Portman, exclaiming, “You are one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, and I have always been a huge fan! I hardly ever get excited about anyone, but you – I just love you!”

Portman was thrilled beyond belief when she met Rihanna and exclaimed, “Really? I’ll pass out. I’ll lose consciousness.” She continued, “I adore you and play your music regularly… you’re truly magnificent. Thanks a million.” Later on, Portman posted a photo of herself embracing Rihanna on social media with the caption, “Still can’t get over this… 😥@badgalriri.”
