Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took center court at the 75th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
The couple met A-list celebrities but kept a notable distance from another high-profile duo, Barack and Michelle Obama.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, sharing laughs and photos with Queen Latifah and her partner, Eboni Nichols.
Meanwhile, the former president and first lady were nearby with their daughter Sasha, enjoying premium seats and soaking in the action from a slightly different corner of the arena.
Even though both couples were present, they were not seen chatting, greeting or even sitting close enough to give each other a friendly nudge.
Although this is the first time that the Sussexes and the Obamas have attended the same NBA event, the histories of contact between them are well documented.
Harry met him at the White House in 2015 and then shared the spotlight with Michelle at the Invictus Games in 2016.
Meghan also crossed paths with Mrs. Obama during her “Becoming“Book tour stop in London in 2018.
Harry even interviewed the former president for BBC Radio 4 in 2017, and the clip shows the two comfortably bantering.
The pair mingled with Kelly Rowland, Teyana Taylor, Victoria Monét and Anthony Anderson, with whom Harry shared some laughs during the game.
