It had been reported that Beyonce was less than impressed at the thought of having to become pals with Kim Kardashian, she was even rumoured to have banned her from her inner circle of friends, but it looks like that is all in the past now.
In fact, we'd go as far to say that they're new BBFs.
The pair looked cosy as they teamed up on a double date with their men at last night's BET Awards in the States.
The foursome posed for photos together after sitting through the awards ceremony, which saw Beyonce take home the gong for Best Female R&B Artist, while Jay and Kanye won a joint award for Best Group.
Bey and Kim's latest display of unity comes after they were spotted having a whale of a time with each other at their fellas' gig in Birmingham last week.
Their friendship has come as somewhat of a surprise, after it was believed Beyonce was set to snub Kim.
“Beyoncé is used to hanging out with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow – she’s in a totally different league to Kim.”

However, despite their apparent closeness, Kim is reportedly treading on eggshells around Beyonce so as not to annoy her.
A source told the New York Daily News: "She’s hung with them a few times already, but she isn’t saying peep about them.
"She’s not tweeting or taking pictures with Beyonce because she doesn’t want to seem desperate."
