Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have managed to break their first record together less than one week after tying the knot.

Kardashian, the 33-year-old "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star, wed the father of her child and rap mogul Kanye West, 36, recently. Now, a photograph of the pair kissing following their wedding has already broken an Instagram record together.

The photograph shows the newlyweds locked in an intimate embrace at what looks to be an altar while in their wedding attire. The image garnered over 2 million hits on Instagram, breaking the record previously held by 20-year-old Canadian crooner Justin Bieber.

Bieber previously held the record of 1.82 million Instagram likes for a photogram with on-and-off again girlfriend Selena Gomez who is pictured embracing him from behind.The image came at a time that seemed to confirm that the pair were giving a romantic union another chance.

Now, it seems another couple has captured the admiration of many in the form of an outspoken rap mogul and fashion forward reality television star.Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriarch and manager, spoke up about her daughter's nuptials recently in an E! News report.

"[I'm] beyond bursting with happiness for Kim, Kanye and baby North West. Such a magical, romantic wedding," Jenner told E! "I feel blessed to have my new son and his family as part of ours."

Last year, she spoke about her feelings for West after the pair got engaged telling E! "I love him so much, and he's such an amazing boyfriend to Kim, and a great dad and a wonderful person."

Kardashian took to her Twitter and Instagram pages to add West to her name. It is unclear whether Kardashian has officially changed her name legally.
