Cristiano Ronaldo has overtaken Selena Gomez as the most-following person on Instagram.
The Portuguese footballer now has 144,482,390 followers on the photo-sharing platform, while the pop singer had just 144,367,090 at the time of writing.
Considering Gomez has not published a post on Instagram since September, it's not surprising that she has been dethroned from her honorary "Queen of Social Media" role.
Writing on September 24, the "Wolves" singer announced she would be taking a break from social media for a while.
"As much as I am grateful for the voice that has been given to each other, I have been given," she wrote alongside a smiley selfie.
"Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody's feelings. Obvi. "
Her post has garnered more than eight million likes, with fans begging for a quick return.
Some suspected that the breakthrough has been made in the past few months, and has been reported to be undergoing mental health treatment.
The 26-year-old's popular feed is a mix of candid portraits, travel snaps and promotional shots, with some images acquiring up to 37 million likes.
Ronaldo has been in the news by Kathryn Mayorga, who has been accused of sexually assaulting her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
The footballer has consistently and strenuously denied the claims, insisting his "conscience is clear."
