London, Aug 3 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is giving close friends David and Victoria Beckham relationship advice.

The 'Topgun' actor who is married to Katie Holmes has reportedly been telling his friends what they need to do in order to maintain a healthy balance between work and their private life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

David, 34, and 35-year-old Victoria were living apart while the soccer star played for Italian club AC Milan on loan earlier this year, and Cruise thinks it will be bad for their marriage if they live separately again if Beckham decides to leave current team Los Angeles Galaxy.

'After an evening with David, Tom decided to have a friendly chat with Victoria about the family's future. He talked to her about David ageing, his soccer career, the pressures of disgruntled fans, the loneliness when away from the family and how time apart can make marriages fail.
