So it should come as no surprise that Chrissy isn’t immune to fangirl-ing out when it comes to the ultimate carefree Rihanna, whose old mansion she recently moved into. During an appearance on _The Ellen DeGeneres Show_, Teigen revealed that she sometimes still receives some of Rihanna’s mail and that she has, on occasion, opened and read it. The findings ranged from an $18 bill from Bugatti to some fan mail, all of which Ellen kindly informed Chrissy were federal crimes to open and read, but frankly, if you had the opportunity to intercept [some sappy Aubrih correspondence](http://time.com/4465225/drake-rihanna-relationship/), wouldn’t you do the same?
