How's it going? David Beckham and Tom Cruise look happy to see each other as they shook hands after meeting up at the LA Lakers game yesterday
He was among one of the first Hollywood stars to welcome the Beckhams to Los Angeles four years ago.
But while Victoria's friendship with Katie Holmes appears to have fallen by the wayside, husband David is still good mates with Tom Cruise.
And he greeted his friend warmly as they bumped into each other at the LA Lakers game at the Staples Centre last night.
What have you been up to? Cruise and Beckham catch up as their sons Connor and Brooklyn say hello
Cruise, 48, and Beckham, 35, shook each other's hand and stood chatting by their courtside seats.
As they caught up, David's eldest son Brooklyn, 12, and Cruise's adopted son Connor, 16, listened in smiling, occasionally joining in with their famous fathers' conversation.
Cruise and Connor then went to take their seats just along from the Beckham boys, stopping on the way to say hi and give a kiss to Vanessa Hudgens, who was there with her actor friend Josh Hutcherson.
The family well? The famous friends get closer as they catch up on each other's news
Also at the game were actors Jack Nicholson and his 18-year-old son Raymond, and The Mentalist star Simon Baker.
But it had been a while since Beckham and Cruise had been snapped together, even though they keep in touch and Cruise is often seen at LA Galaxy games to support his footballer friend.
Last December, the pair started an exclusive club called the Midnight Boys Bike Club, and invited a number of Hollywood stars, including Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt, to join them for midnight cruises through the Hollywood Hills.
Look, Dad! Brooklyn points out something on the big screen while his father flicks through a programme
Father and son day out: The Cruise boys looked happy and relaxed as they spent some quality time together
Both Cruise and Beckham own F131 Hellcat Combat motorcycles that cost £55,000 each.
But while they remain friends, the same can't be said of Victoria, 36, and Katie, 32, who are believed to have drifted apart about a year after the Beckhams moved to LA and struck up a friendship with the acting couple.
The ladies were inseparable at first and were often snapped out for lunch or shopping together and even jetted off for Paris Fasion Week.
But according to reports, Victoria began distancing herself from Katie after she made it clear she didn't want to join the Scientology religion, which Katie and Tom follow.
Victoria is also believed to have disagreed with Katie over the way she was raising her daughter Suri and got concerned when the Dawson's Creek actress began copying her style.
Come on you Lakers! Vanessa Hudgens stands up as she and her friend Josh Hutcherson clap the team
Another father and son day out: Jack Nicholson took his boy Raymond to the game with him
A-lister night out: The Cruises threw a party to welcome the Beckhams to Hollywood in 2007, which was also attended by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
