But it seems the celebrity couple was not only there to enjoy the football.

With David Beckham on the pitch and Victoria away on fashion duties, Cruise and Holmes appeared to have been roped into babysitting for their celebrity friends.

Cruise and Holmes kept a close eye throughout the game on the Beckham boys - Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 5, and Cruz, 3.
They also brought along their two-year-old daughter Suri, and Cruise's adopted daughter Isabella, 15, and son Connor, 13,

But the enthusiastic cheers from the box at the Home Depot Center were not enough to see the home side triumph.

The New York Red Bulls scored a 2-1 Major League Soccer victory over LA Galaxy.

Adding insult to injury, Beckham was also booked in the 67th minute, with the yellow card provoking a storm of boos from the crowd.
