Maria Shriver shares a tender hug with good pal Oprah Winfrey after celebrating her 58th birthday with girls' lunch

She and Oprah Winfrey are famously close, having met as young journalists in Baltimore in the 1980s.

So it comes as no surprise that Maria Shriver would celebrate her birthday with the legendary talk show host.

The former First Lady Of California - who turned 58 on Wednesday - was seen leaving Geoffrey's restaurant in Malibu with Oprah, as well as her daughters Christina and Katherine Schwarzenegger.

Maria looked incredibly youthful with her brown hair tied back in a high ponytail and natural makeup.
She wore black trousers, a loose-fitting top and a stylish grey coat to ward off the autumn chill.

The mother-of-four carried a black leather handbag as well as a paperback, perhaps a birthday gift from book-lover Oprah.

The media mogul, meanwhile, opted for an all-beige ensemble consisting of khaki trousers and an elegant draped sweater paired with suede booties.

Oprah - who is allegedly working to hire Maria to host a show on her OWN network - wore her hair naturally curly and pulled it back with a sandy-coloured headband.

She finished off her stylish look with gold-trimmed sunglasses and a large watch.

Maria's daughters had the job of carrying their famous mother's birthday gifts.

Christina, 22, held what looked like a cake box as she walked alongside Maria.

The recent college graduate kept it low-key in navy blue jeans, knee-high leather boots and a colourful pink scarf paired with a striped cardigan.

She also tweeted a heartwarming birthday message to her mother that same day: 'Happy happy birthday to the most BEAUTIFUL and BEST mom in the world!! [sic]' accompanied by a glamorous picture of Maria when she was younger.

Her older sister Katherine, 23, carried a vase of pink flowers as she chatted with Oprah while leaving the restaurant.

The author was sophisticated in all-black and wore her dark hair loose and wavy over her shoulders.

She too wished Maria a happy birthday, both on Twitter as well as a lengthy post dedicated to her mother on her blog.

'Happy happy birthday mommy!! You are such an amazing person, and I am so lucky to have you as my mom and my best friend... Thank you for always loving me and supporting me. You inspire me every day with everything that you do.'

Maria's son Patrick also wished her over Twitter on Wednesday: 'Happy birthday to the best human in the world and the best mother I could for @mariashriver love u to the moon back'.
Meanwhile, there was no signed of Maria's estranged husband Arnold Schwarzenegger on her big day.
The pair have allegedly put their legal proceedings on hold, as they have reportedly revealed to friends how sometimes they want to get back together, and other times, they don't.

Maria filed for divorce from her husband of 25 years after revelations he had fathered a love child with the couple's nanny.

Since the split, the award-winning journalist has thrown herself back into work, and has rejoined NBC as a special anchor who will focus on women's issues in the work place and their changing roles in American life
