Windows Phone doesn't support multi-binding, so you need to use multiple <Run>s to bind TextBlock's Text to multiple model properties. And you need to set StringFormat as well to display the plain-text part :

<TextBlock>
    <Run>
        <Run.Text>
            <Binding Path="following" StringFormat="{}{0} Following"/>
        </Run.Text>
    </Run>
    <Run>
        <Run.Text>
            <Binding Path="follower" StringFormat="{} | {0} Followers"/>
        </Run.Text>
    </Run>
</TextBlock>

Don't set Text property manually when you're using DataBinding. That will override the bound value. Set the DataContext instead :

myTextBlock.DataContext = rootObject;
