Justin Trudeau is quite possibly the dreamiest world leader right now.

With his movie star looks, progressive views and sweet family, itโ€™s hard not to develop a slight crush on the Canadian prime minister.

And it appears even Melania Trump isnโ€™t immune to his charms.

Over the weekend, world leaders assembled in France for the annual G7 summit including US president Donald Trump, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and our very own Scott Morrison.

But it was a moment captured during the group photo, that also featured the partners and spouses of the world leaders that attracted a lot of attention.

In the photo, US First Lady Melania Trump leans in to greet Trudeau with her eyes closed in a look that looks like a still straight out of a romantic movie. Meanwhile her husband, who is standing next to her, appears crestfallen.

Needless to say, the Internet took it in its stride.

The hashtags #MelaniaLovesTrudeau and #MelaniaLovesJustin have even gone viral on Twitter, after the photo circulated its way on social media, so weโ€™re just waiting for the memes to start rolling in.

While many joked that the snapshot poked fun at the US president, others focused on bystanders Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, the president and First Lady of France, respectively.

โ€œHas anyone noticed the look on Bridgette Macronโ€™s face as she notices the look Melania gives Trudeau #MelaniaLovesJustin,โ€ one person tweeted.

Others remarked that Melania isnโ€™t the only Trump woman to have set her sights on the handsome Canadian.

In 2017, a similar photo of Trumpโ€™s eldest daughter Ivanka Trump gazing at Justin Trudeau went viral during his visit to the White House for a roundtable discussion on women entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Speculation about the President and First Ladyโ€™s rocky marriage have been rife ever since his campaign kicked off in 2016. The hashtag #FreeMelania even became a trending topic at his presidential inauguration after her sad expression was captured on film.

But despite moments of tension though, Melania has supported her husband through his sea of scandals calling him โ€œsupportiveโ€ and โ€œa gentleman.โ€

โ€œPeople, they donโ€™t really know me,โ€ she told US journalist Anderson Cooper in October 2016. โ€œPeople think and talk about me like, โ€˜Oh, poor Melania.โ€™ Donโ€™t feel sorry for me. I can handle everything.โ€

Speaking to MSNBCโ€™s Morning Joe in February 2016, Melania also said, โ€œWe have a great relationship. We are own people. Iโ€™m my own person. Heโ€™s his own person. And I think thatโ€™s very important. I donโ€™t want to change him. He doesnโ€™t want to change me.โ€

This isnโ€™t the first Trump themed hashtag to take off this year by any means.

At the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan in July this year, the hashtag #UnwantedIvanka took off after a clip emerged of the First Daughter attempting to join a conversation with Franceโ€™s Macron, International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde,British Prime Minister Theresa May and the man of the hour, Justin Trudeau.

Twitter users proceeded to photoshop Ivanka into significant moments from history, ranging from the Yalta peace conference alongside Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, to an iconic scene from Mean Girls.
