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.
