The woman from the viral BBQ leftovers clip is making sure the young boy leaves full next time around ... 'cause she's throwing him a pizza party after the video sparked a huge online debate.

Ariel Smith tells TMZ she and her boyfriend were caught totally off guard when a boy named Jacquez knocked on their door asking if they had any BBQ leftovers ... especially because, as she puts it, he "knocked like a grown man."

Influencer Ayla Woodruff is getting a divorce ... but not from the influencer she started a whole family with ... instead, it looks like she's divorcing a guy she's been separated from for more than 11 years.

Ayla says she married Bar on January 21, 2014 and separated from him on May 15, 2015 ... and she's citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Seems like she's certainly had plenty of time to stew on why things didn't work out.
