It’s rare that the president of the United States gets upstaged in a photo op, but a couple of adorable students from the Daughter of Zion Jr. Academy in Delray Beach, Florida accomplished just that.

While President Obama posed for pictures with the kids, a boy kissing the girl next to him on the cheek in the back row really stole the show.

President Obama’s motorcade was driving by the bleacher full of students after making a campaign stop when he unexpectedly got out for a few photos, Yahoo News reports.

Unaware of the pint-size romance going on behind them, the president and everyone else seem to be smiling at the camera.

The super cute photo grabbed so much attention, Twitter dubbed it “photo of the day.”
