If anything can put a smile on your face it has to be lunch with a handsome multi-millionaire rock star!

Maria Shriver was spotted Thursday, smiling for the first time in weeks, as she left the Ivy at the Shore restaurant in Santa Monica with U2 front man Bono.

It’s been a tough time for Shriver since news broke that her disgraced husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with their longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

But the former first lady of California looked to be in fine spirits once again, enjoying a warm hug and a kiss from Bono after a long lunch.

At first glance Shriver and Bono may seem to be unlikely friends, but the pair have been close pals for years. Bono even sang at the funeral of Maria’s father, Sargent Shriver back in January.
