The story of the Saints fan who intercepted a football from a Bengals fan last weekend has come to a happy ending over a New Orleans staple - beignets.

Remember this:

Well, according to reports, the Bengals fan, Christa Barret and the Saints fan, Tony Williams have bureied the hatchet and met at a New Orleans cafe.

According to WWL-TV in New Orleans, Williams and his wife Minnie contacted the station to find Barret so they can meet.

When they did, WWL-TV describe the encounter as "instant hugs and tears."

They discussed the "interception," the fallout from the moment caught on camera and the debate over who had the right to keep the game ball.

"I've just heard so many awful, terrible things from people who have come up and approached me, things you've read on the internet and I just think it's, I just think it's terrible because I know he doesn't deserve it at all," Barrett told the station.

But don't worry, despite Williams keeping the ball for his grandson, the Saints also gave Barret one to take home.
