Rihanna had a guilty pleasure that entertained her during both of her pregnancies, she has told “90 Day Fiancé” star Yara Zaya.
“She DM’d me back in February 2021 when she was pregnant with her first baby,” Zaya told Page Six. “She told me she loved my storyline, and loves to watch the show.”
The reality star added, “I always loved her. I reached out to her first, but had no idea that she would ever reply back to me.”
TLC had a “90 Day Fiancé” 10th anniversary party at the Standard Rooftop this week in NYC.
Zaya and Rihanna now follow each other on Instagram, and she added, “She DM’d me and told me that she is a big fan of the show. She also said that she hopes that she is just as a good mother as I am.”
Reality show “90 Day Fiancé” follows singles looking for love overseas, and has spawned a number of spinoffs since hit series premiered back in 2014.
“I was never going to talk about this, but she was so sweet to me — and helped me out a lot with her kind words when I was going through a really tough time,” Zaya also revealed at the event that featured cheeky signature cocktail with names like the Pack Your Bag and 90 Day Confessions.
Zaya isn’t the only star of the show to hear from the pop icon. Angela Deem has also said she has been contacted by Riri via DM.
Zaya, 28, is Ukrainian and works in the makeup industry. She first appeared on Season 8 of the show, when she met New Orleans native Jovi Dufren, 33.
The now-married couple has a daughter Mylah, 2.
Rihanna, 35 — who is also the CEO of fashion line Fenty — shares two sons with Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky, 34.
Their first child RZA,1, was born last year, while Riot arrived last month.
