President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were seen enjoying a rare moment of public affection while leaving the White House on their way to Pope Francis’ funeral.

Trump wrapped his arm around Melania on Friday as the first couple headed to Marine One before heading to the Vatican.

Heads of state and royalty will begin converging on Rome on Friday for the funeral of Pope Francis in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square.

It’s one of the rare events that Melania Trump will attend alongside her husband as she chose to intentionally remain a private figure throughout the majority of Trump’s term.

Americans have long speculated about the first couple’s relationship as Melania has taken a much more distanced approach to her White House role than any other past presidential spouse.

Over the years, she has famously popped up to slap her husband’s hand away when he made some efforts to hold hers. Melania last joined her husband for the White House’s Easter Egg Roll on Monday. This is where he appeared to drop his hand while he spoke from the White House.
