After
gaining more than a million followers in four hours, Caitlyn Jenner has broken
a new Twitter record, Guinness World Records has confirmed.
She’s beaten
Barack Obama, who held the title for two weeks. The US president reached the
one million mark in five hours.
Caitlyn
launched her Twitter account at the same time as a Vanity Fair magazine cover
was released, showing her as a transgender woman and revealing the name she
will now be using.
She’d
previously been known as Bruce Jenner. At the time of writing, Caitlyn had
reached a total of 1.8m followers, although that figure is still rising.
The cover
photograph, shot by Annie Leibovitz, is part of a wider special where Jenner
talks about her gender transition and how her family’s reacted.
Her
step-daughters, best known for their reality show Keeping Up with the
Kardashians, have shared their support for Jenner on social media.
