The awkwardness can be felt through the screen thanks to these photos of David Beckham sitting near Katherine Jenkins at Wimbledon.
In a star-studded first day for the tennis tournament, the football legend, 51, took his seat in the Royal Box, while the opera songstress, 46, was mere feet away with her husband, Andrew Levitas.
The Welsh vocal powerhouse looked radiant in a white dress with blue polka dots, which she teamed with a matching bag and oversized shades for the sunny temperatures.
Her other half, Andrew, whom Katherine wed in 2014, put on a dapper display in a double-breasted navy suit and pink tie, holding hands with his wife as they posed for pics upon arrival.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United player David was his usual suave self in grey attire, accompanied by his beloved mum, Sandra.
David attended the opening of Wimbledon just two days after he was spotted watching England against Panama at the World Cup on Saturday, which is currently being held in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
And while he appeared engrossed in the on-court action and took selfies with Sandra to document the outing, there was one person he seemingly didn’t fancy turning around for a chat with.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since Becks and Katherine’s feud.
Well, their history actually stretches back slightly further to 2012, when Katherine vehemently denied rumours that she and David, who married Victoria Beckham in 1999, were having an affair.
She blasted the speculation as ‘very hurtful’ and ‘untrue’, writing on social media that she had ‘only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012′.
That drama fizzled out soon enough, though… before a fresh scandal emerged in the form of ‘Beckileaks’, which leaked emails saw him allegedly brand her 2014 OBE for services to music and charity a ‘f***ing joke’.
David was said to have been angry at not receiving a knighthood, an honour he eventually received from King Charles at Windsor Castle last November, recognising his services to sport and charitable causes.
When his private emails surfaced to his PR, David allegedly referred to the musician using drugs, claiming that her OBE was awarded for ‘singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke’. This came after Katherine admitted some years prior that she had tried cocaine when she was younger.
Katherine was upset by the scandal, telling Fabulous magazine shortly after: ‘I’m a human being. Of course, something like that would be hurtful.’
‘But at the same time I’ve learned when you’re famous, sometimes you get dragged into things you shouldn’t be involved in,’ she reasoned. ‘Sometimes people feel like they know you, but actually they know nothing about you.’
After the leak in February 2017, Katherine said the following year that she had not received an apology from David or his camp, who defended that the material, dating back to 2013, had been ‘taken out of context and doctored’.
Katherine told The Sun: ‘It’s obviously disappointing. I’ve never heard anything from them about it.’
She recalled how she had been ‘minding [her] own business’ when the media ‘storm’ swept her up, saying: ‘I don’t know why, again, that was aimed at me.
‘I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done, and when I got the OBE, it was given to me for music, and for charity.’
Holding her head high, she moved on, still wishing ‘the best’ for the Beckham family and declaring that the row hadn’t ‘knocked’ her.
She thanked the public for their support, too, feeling like she had ‘a lot of people speaking up for [her] for ‘the first time in [her] life’.
However, almost a decade later, it doesn’t come as a shock that she wouldn’t want to greet David with open arms in public.
Snaps of the celebs at Wimbledon today show no attempt at a conversation between them, with David remaining facing the court at all times.
In the one moment when he did turn around to snap a pic with his mother with the court as the background, Katherine faced the other way.
She also looked lively while greeting other guests, going in for a hug and peck on the cheek from Pointless star Alexander Armstrong.
Other big names at Wimbledon today included Dame Mary Berry, Carol Kirkwood, Sir Cliff Richard, and Sir Mark Rylance.
Monday’s matches at the championship saw the UK’s Cameron Norrie take on Michael Zheng of the US, and Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia play the UK’s Harriet Dart.
