Kylie Jenner's first photo of her newborn, Stormi Webster, is now officially the most-liked photo on Instagram—with 13.5 million likes and counting. The new mom just posted the picture (which also revealed her daughter's name for the first time) less than 24 hours ago, and it's already making history.
The photo tops the app's former record-holders. Cristiano Ronaldo's post on the birth of his fourth child (11.3 million likes) previously held the first spot.
And Beyoncé's iconic twin pregnancy reveal (11.2 million likes) came at a close second. At the end of last year, however, her photo was documented as the most-liked Instagram of 2017.
Other most-liked posts from 2017 include Selena Gomez's kidney transplant announcement, Bey's first photo of her twins, Rumi and Sir, Gomez's first photo with her former boyfriend The Weeknd, and a pic of Ronaldo hanging out with his family. In less than a day, Stormi has already surpassed them all by at least 2 million likes.
Kylie's post features Stormi holding onto her well-manicured thumb and only includes a sliver of the infant's face in the background, but the glimpse still sent the internet into a frenzy, especially since Jenner was so private about her pregnancy for the past few months.
Proud mom and grandma Kris Jenner reacted to the record-breaking news on Instagram. "Wow Kylie!! How incredible, this is the most-liked picture in the history of Instagram!! Thank you everyone for the outpouring of love for our precious Stormi!" she captioned a screenshot of Kylie's pic.
Stormi Webster is only six days old (she was born on February 1), but she's already inherited the Kardashian-Jenners' ability to break the internet.
