The actress gushed, “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad bitch.”
Portman explained that the empowering statement from the Grammy winner was “exactly what [she] needed” while splitting from her husband of more than a decade.
Jimmy Fallon celebrated the moment by giving Portman a standing ovation, saying, “That’s a big deal.”
The “May December” star, who said she might “black out” and “faint” after Rihanna complimented her, gushed, “I love you and I listen to your music all the time. You’re just such a queen. Thank you.”
The following month, Portman’s rep confirmed that she filed to end her marriage in July 2023, with the exes quietly finalizing their divorce in February.
Portman and Millepied tied the knot in August 2012 and welcomed two children during their time together — son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia , 7.
“This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again,” Portman captioned a slideshow of smiling snaps with her loved ones last month.
