This is one odd soon-to-be ex-couple.
Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin sat elbow to elbow whispering to each other during their first divorce hearing Wednesday — then left together in a chauffeur-driven car.
Abedin, whose husband will be sentenced later this month for sexting with a minor, smiled as she stood next to the disgraced ex-congressman in the courthouse elevator, even though she’s filed a contested divorce proceeding against him.

And Weiner seemingly couldn’t be happier.
“Feeling OK, Anthony?” a reporter asked.
“Thank you, yes. Bless you guys,” the repeat sext-offender, who once went by the online moniker Carlos Danger, said on his way into Manhattan Supreme Court.

“I certainly would encourage you to try to work out a plan together with your attorneys’ assistance,” Katz said. “It certainly would be better for your son if you could do that. It would save you a lot of stress.
“Hopefully the financials can be worked out amicably as well,” the judge added.
