Katie Holmes’ friendship with Victoria Beckham has become “strained” because of the former Spice Girls’ new Hollywood pals, it has been claimed.

The pair have been close friends since Victoria’s move to Los Angeles with husband David Beckham last year, but Holmes is annoyed Beckham is choosing to spend most of her time with new friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale.

A source said: “Until recently, the Beckhams were bosom buddies with Katie and her husband Tom Cruise. But there is now a clear rift between them, and Victoria has made it clear that Eva and Kate are her new chief allies in Los Angeles.

“Tensions have been brewing ever since Katie took offense to everyone saying that because she’s changed her hair, lost weight and started dressing more glamorously, she was morphing into Posh. So she took a step back, and the girls’ friendship has cooled off significantly.”

Victoria’s rep recently dismissed speculation of a fall out between the pair, claiming David and Victoria are still good friends with Holmes and her husband Tom Cruise.

“They all had a drink together, and Tom and Katie and David and Victoria were all out for dinner together last Friday,” said the rep.

Last Friday, Tom, Katie, Victoria and David went to Santa Monica restaurant Via Veneto to celebrate Victoria’s 34th birthday with Eva, Kate, Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale and Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.
