Chrissy Teigen is celebrating being the only celebrity followed on Twitter by President Joe Biden.
After being sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on Wednesday, Biden and his family’s social media accounts were switched over to official US government accounts.
The 78-year-old now operates under the @POTUS Twitter username, with his wife and new First Lady Jill using the handle @FLOTUS.
Folks — This will be the account for my official duties as President. At 12:01 PM on January 20th, it will become @POTUS. Until then, I'll be using @JoeBiden. And while you're here, follow @FLOTUSBiden @SenKamalaHarris @SecondGentleman and @Transition46.
— President Biden (@POTUS) January 15, 2021
Biden follows 12 people on his Twitter, including Vice President Kamala Harris, her husband Douglas Emhoff, and members of the White House.
Chrissy, who was blocked by former President Donald Trump back in 2017, pleaded with Biden to follow her on the social media platform.
The model wrote: “hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz.”

After switching over to his official government account, Biden granted Chrissy’s request.
Sharing her excitement, the 35-year-old tweeted: “OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!”
“my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged,” she added.

“sober. I know that’s weird but it’s like…a different world for me. everything is new and better. very happy. the most happy bigly happy,” she added.
