Natalie Portman revealed the kind words Rihanna said to encourage her during her divorce by Benjamin Millepied.
The Star Wars actress met the 36-year-old for the first time at Paris Fashion Week in January, and after they had fun, the singer told Natalie something that created a “formative moment.”

In the clip, captured on camera, Natalie, 43, told Rihanna: “I love you”, which in return received the response: “I’m a big fan”.
The Black Swan star continued: “I’m going to faint. I’m going to faint.
“I love you and I listen to your music all the time… You are a queen. Thank you,” Natalie continued praising the Fenty founder.
On Monday, Natalie told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that Rihanna called her “one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood.”

“I think every woman going through a divorce should have Rihanna tell her what a terrible person she is,” she said.
Jimmy then stood up and applauded loudly.
After they showed her video with Rihanna, Natalie said: “It was exactly what I needed.
“It was a formative moment in my life,” she added.
THE DIVORCE
Her latest comments follow her announcing her divorce from her husband, French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, earlier this year.
They met on the set of the 2009 film Black Swan and married in 2012.
The ex-spouses share two children, a 12-year-old son named Aleph, and a daughter, Amália, 7.
The couple never formally released a statement about their divorce and “quietly separated” months before finalizing it in France, where they lived.
At the time, a source close to the situation said the split occurred after news of an affair with Benjamin came to light.
They told US Weekly: “After news of their affair broke, they are trying to work on their marriage but are currently helpless.”

Another source said: “Natalie believes Benjamin’s affair was a brief, stupid phone call that meant nothing to him.”
Natalie was “willing” to try to repair their relationship and trust as she didn’t want her two children to grow up in a “broken home.”
However, another source apparently disputed this and said that Natalie wasn’t sure she could rebuild what they had, and the choreographer “regrets” his infidelity.
Talking about meeting and working with her husband for the first time, Natalie said in an interview with SiriusXM Town Hall that she was “in dreamland.”
“I met my husband on that, so I guess I was in dreamland.
“He was teaching me how to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] …
“It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don’t know if it was instantaneous.
“It was like I really knew him and that’s when I thought, ‘Oh, this is the person.’”
PUTTING THE RUMORS TO REST
Earlier this month, Rihanna shut down pregnancy rumors while posing in lingerie.
The Needed Me hitmaker revealed that an iconic collaboration would return to her fashion brand, Savage X Fenty’s website.
