Yes, that was soccer spawn Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and actress/heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham, still wearing that newlyweds' glow nearly two years after their Wed-a-Palooza in Palm Beach.

The pair, who were in town to spend some holiday time with her parents, walked hand-in-hand around the Royal Poinciana Plaza after a romantic dinner at Sant Ambroeus.

Their Instagram feeds are on fire with shots of them dressed in everything from matching Naughty/Nice stocking caps ― guess which one is Naughty ― to bathrobes to matching pajamas embroidered with their names.

You know, in case somebody can't tell which from which.

Saving Her Grace: Jimmy Borynack and Adolfo Zaralegui hosted a dinner in honor of Emma Manners, the Duchess of Rutland and chatelaine of Belvoir Castle, who traveled all the way from Leicestershire to do her podcast at the Preservation Foundation.

The dinner ― lump crabmeat cocktail, sliced sirloin and chocolate mousse ― also served to introduce the junior committee of the inaugural dinner dance fundraiser for Belvoir.

Sean and Lilly Leas Ferreira are junior chairs. Their committee comprises Carlos and Carolina Musso, Bobby and Ivey Leidy, Chris and Caley Leidy, Putnam and Kaley Campbell Kling, Bettina Anderson, Tyler and Camilla Helander Sargent, Alexandra Stephenson and Ian Barrett.

The duchess got along swimmingly with the young set. The fellas, especially, were quite taken with Her Grace, who certainly has a way with men.

Well, c'mon. She's a busty redheaded beauty. It's not like she has nothing in the tackle box, if you know what we mean.

Host Borynack, along with David Newton, is chairman of the Friends of Belvoir Castle dinner dance, which takes place Feb. 10 at The Breakers.

Child's play: Cheryl Gowdy is happy to share credit.

When her five-years-in-the-making dream of a children's space at Wyoming's Curt Gowdy State Park came became a reality this summer, she was not miserly with the thank-yous.

The Little House is a log cabin “with a blend of the Western homestead of the past and the future of fairytales,” said Gowdy, daughter of the man for whom the park is named.

Over the five years that she had the vision for Little House on the Park, friends in Palm Beach gave their time, talent or money. Sometimes all three.

"The Cathleen McFarlane Family Foundation gave generous support," Cheryl said in her speech. "Kate McFarlane was close friends of my mother and father, and it extended to [McFarlane’s daughter] Bridget Healey and Jeff Smith.”

Bruce Sutka of Sutka Visual Design came on as consultant and artistic director; artist Bruce Helander created a fairytale collage for the house; and Vicki and Peter Halmos of the Halmos Foundation funded park benches and sculptures.

We're pretty sure they all got thank-you notes.

Handwritten, of course. This is not Boca.

Heard: That the reason cited for Melania Trump's absence from the much-speculated-on "family" Christmas photo posted on social media by Kimberly Guilfoyle is that she was at the bedside of her hospitalized mother, 78-year-old Amalija Knavs…That the new performance center at South Florida PBS' future Bailey Cultural Arts Center in Boynton Beach, which was to be named the Mary Hilem Taylor Performance Center after a generous contribution from Felicia Taylor in honor of her mother, will now be called the Taylor Performance Hall in honor of them both. Felicia Taylor, a former CNN anchor, died in September.
