She'd just received the bad news that her pilot TV show Cinnamon Girl would not be commissioned for a first series.
But what better way for Renee Zellwegger to ease her disappointment than with a kiss from her boyfriend Doyle Bramhall.
The guitarist pulled Renee into his arms for a long embrace as they waited to go through security at Los Angeles airport.
While she was heading out of the city after her bad news, the actress certainly didn't seem to be brooding.
Instead Renee laughed as she chatted to Doyle, 44, while he seemed keen to distract his girlfriend, 43, as they checked in for their flight on Friday.
Doyle had his guitar slung over his back, while dressed-down Renee pulled her own luggage.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed earlier that day that U.S. network Lifetime had passed on Cinnamon Girl, a coming-of-age tale by Renee and Anthony Tambakis.
The show was to have revolved around four girls in LA during the cultural revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
It was loosely based on Renee's own life, and her move her from home in Austin, Texas to LA.
It was in Texas met way back in 1990 that Renee met Doyle, when they were both students in a co-ed dorm at the University Of Texas.
While they have known each other for more than two decades the couple only began dating shortly before Christmas.
Doyle, who is known for his
work in Arc Angels and for touring with Eric Clapton, asked Renee out
when they both found themselves single.
In the past the American singer and guitarist has dated Sheryl Crow, but they ended their two year relationship just before Doyle reconnected with Renée.
She split with Bradley Cooper in March 2011, reportedly because she wanted to wed and he didn't.
