Chrissy Teigen - Only Celebrity Followed by President Biden's Twitter Account
People.com: Joe Biden is starting off his presidency by following some very important people on Twitter — including Chrissy Teigen.
Teigen, 35, was among the handful of Twitter accounts — and the only person not affiliated with the White House — to be followed by the @POTUS handle on Wednesday after it was turned over to Biden's team following his inauguration.
Other people followed by the U.S. government account included Vice President Kamala Harris, First Lady Jill Biden, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and a number of White House officials.
"OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!" Teigen tweeted, after political writer Gabe Fleisher pointed out that the "official @POTUS account now follows 11 people — all of them Biden aides or accounts, and then @chrissyteigen."
"my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president's tweets and they probably won't be unhinged," she wrote, adding in another message, "I should prob never tweet again."

As of press time, the @POTUS handle is following 12 accounts. Teigen remains as the only non-White House account being followed. The president's decision to follow Teigen comes less than 24 hours after the star jokingly asked for a follow. "hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz," she tweeted on Wednesday morning.
