Victoria Beckham received a tender kiss from her long-time pal Tom Cruise while watching her husband David be honoured at Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
The former Spice Girl, 52, sat alongside the Mission Impossible star, 63, while David gave his speech and he touched her shoulder before grabbing her hand for a kiss.
The sweet display cements the long-time friendship of the group, after David and Tom first formed a friendship in 2007 when the Beckhams moved to LA.
Speaking at the ceremony, Tom said: 'Long before the trophies, the sold-out stadiums, the global fame, the recognition, there was a young boy with a dream, and the determination and discipline to earn everything that followed'.
Prior to her exchange with Tom, Victoria proved that despite her usual stony stare, she still has a sense of humour as she made a hilarious speech while David unveiled his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
She took to the podium to honour her husband but slipped in a cheeky joke about her own career and her role in the critically panned movie about her band, Spice World.
She mused: 'Growing up in England, the Hollywood Walk of Fame was one of those iconic things that you only saw in films - a way of immortalising people who had succeeded in their fields and truly left their mark.
'So naturally, I assumed I was coming here today to receive my star for my part in that iconic cult classic Spice World: The Movie!'
As the crowd cracked up, Victoria then paid a sweet tribute to her husband of 27 years as she noted his 'drive, determination and ambition'.
Victoria said: 'Most of you will know David as a sportsman, a businessman and an activist, but behind those titles is a man who has always been defined by his character.
'His drive, his determination and his ambition are known to everyone, but I'd also like to acknowledge his kindness, his loyalty and his commitment to the people that he loves.'
Following her speech, Victoria couldn't resist packing on the PDA with David, 51, grabbing his face to give him a kiss.
A source close to the Beckhams told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s a full circle moment for David.
Never back then did he think he and Tom would become friends, but they have, and there was only one person who could have done the induction speech for David.
‘The date night to watch Jerry Maguire is something both David and Victoria look back on so fondly.’
Also in the crowd was the couple's friend Eva Longoria and their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
However, Brooklyn wasn't in attendance, despite the unveiling taking place about 20 minutes from his estranged son's multi-million-dollar mansion in the Trousdale Estate.
Looking smart, David opted for a navy blue suit for the occasion, while Victoria wowed in a figure-hugging grey satin dress.
The former Manchester United ace was honoured in the sports entertainment category, coinciding with the US beginning play in the World Cup.
He is also receiving the star because of the work of his production company, Studio 99, which lay behind the successful hit Netflix series about his and Victoria’s life stories.
David’s plaque is in pride of place at the centre of Hollywood Boulevard, just over five miles from Brooklyn's house, which he shares with Nicola Peltz, an aspiring actress.
Speaking in an interview with Variety magazine on Friday, David admitted he never imagined he would receive a star.
He said: 'All I wanted to be was a successful soccer player for Manchester United and England.
That’s all I cared about.
I didn’t care about the fame, the wealth, all the admiration you get.
'All I cared about was being a soccer player.
So now, having a star, becoming a "Sir", all these things that have come with the career that I’ve had, I feel very lucky.'
The sportsman added: 'I’ve never really had any offers from Hollywood.
I like to stay in my lane, in all honesty.
'I’ve played a couple of roles in Guy Ritchie’s movies, but that was just for fun.
That was me and him having a glass of wine and him saying, “Do you want to be in this movie?”'
