Maria Shriver: Comforted By Bono

Maria Shriver's 25-year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger is heading for divorce after the action hero was revealed to have knocked up Mildred Baena.

She's doing her best to stand tall in the face of Arnold's staggering admission, and yesterday found comfort in a friend - none other than U2's Bono.

At one point, the rock star held her hand consolingly and patted her on the arm soothingly during a lunchtime get-together yesterday.

Maria was having lunch with the world famous musician at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif., and is believed to have ditched her wedding ring.

Bono (a.k.a. Paul Hewson) has been married to his wife Alison since 1982. They, too, have undergone plenty of ups and downs over the years.

The mother-of-four was keeping her head held high as she went about her daily life - perhaps preparing for her future as a single woman.

A divorce filing is expected any day now. She and Arnold have four kids - Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 12.

Arnold's love child with Baena, Joseph, is 13 and  born within weeks of his youngest son Christopher. We wish Maria and her kids the best.
