Actors Drake Bell and Josh Peck put their months-long “feud” to rest at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

The pair starred in the Nickelodeon sitcom “Drake & Josh” as step-brothers for three years, but had a falling out after Bell wasn’t invited to Peck’s wedding in June.

In now-deleted tweets, Bell took offense that he wasn’t invited to his “best friend of 18 years”’s wedding. “Ties are officially cut,” he had written.

He retracted the statement soon after and said he had “no hard feelings” for Peck, who never issued a public statement regarding Bell’s reaction.

Finally, at the VMAs, both shared a picture of them locked in a tight embrace:

“Reunited and it feels so good!” wrote Bell.

It was a long time coming, and fans took to social media to express their joy. Peck’s tweet has received over 730,000 favorites while Bell’s has about 340,000.

Netizens also couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the show:

Both are busy with their respective projects—Bell with a music career, Peck with TV shows and movies. However, Bell has expressed interest in acting with his Nickelodeon buddy again.

Perhaps other celebrities at the VMAs, like this year’s host Katy Perry and frenemy Taylor Swift, could take their cue from the two men. /ra
