The latest rumor surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' divorce is the most outrageous yet: According to reports based on an online blind gossip item, it wasn't just Scientology that factored into the couple's split, but Cruise's alleged affair with British football star David Beckham.

claims that the actor and the soccer star/underwear model were caught in bed together. Though the story may very well be completely unsubstantiated, Cruise and Beckham's close friendship (and the very persistent speculation that Cruise is gay) has helped the rumor gain some traction.

The pair has enjoyed a public bromance since meeting in 2003. Their friendship is detailed in the 2009 Beckham biography "The Beckham Experiment," by Grant Wahl, which maintains that Cruise has influenced some of the athlete's biggest decisions. Beckham allegedly moved from the U.K. to Los Angeles at Cruise's urging. Furthermore, he and his wife, Victoria Beckham, purchased a home close to the mansion Cruise shared with Holmes. Perhaps most intriguing is that the AC Milan team member decided to name his son Cruz after the iconic actor.

The pair have often been photographed together without their wives, and over the years, Tom has vocalized his affection for Beckham on numerous occasions. He has even expressed a desire to work with him on a film.
