Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took center court at the 75th NBA All Star Game on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
The couple met with high-profile 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 up the action from a slightly different corner of the arena.
Although both couples were present, no one saw them chatting, greeting each other, or even sitting close enough to give each other a friendly nudge.
Although this is the first time the Sussexes and the Obamas have attended the same NBA event, the stories of contact between them are well-documented.
Harry met him at the White House in 2015, then shared the spotlight with Michelle at the Invictus Games in 2016.
Meghan also crossed paths with Mrs. Obama during her “Become» Stop of the book tour in London in 2018.
Harry even interviewed the former president for BBC Radio 4 in 2017, with the clip showing the two comfortably joking around.
The pair mingled with Kelly Rowland, Teyana Taylor, Victoria Monét and Anthony Anderson, with whom Harry shared a few laughs during the match.
