I am assuming English is not your first language. "Shed a few tears" is a play on words. If you say shed a few cheers, it probably means he was happy she wanted a divorce and went to the bar to celebrate. We say "cheers" to people around us before in a toast fashion before consuming a drink during a celebration.
Cheers!

The good news of a divorce made him cry tears of joy!
He had a few drinks earlier in the bar around the block, hence "A few cheers".

Nice play on words, it means the opposite of "shedding a few tears" who wrote that? It sounds like Dorothy Parker.

It means that the husband wanted a divorce too. He was happy about the idea of divorce.
It's a joke.

it's a humerous play on the EXPECTED word "tears"
"cheers" are when people shout for JOY!
"shedding tears" means crying...
