Inside Kai Cenat And His Ex-GF, Gabrielle Gigi Alayah Breakup Controversy, What Happened Exactly?

The Twitch streamer, Kai Cenat, needs no introduction. Currently, he is hogging the limelight after he shared a mysterious 23-minute-long YouTube video saying, 'I quit'. This announcement came as a shock to his huge fan following. However, the shocking announcement he made on January 13, 2026, was nothing but a unique way to promote his new clothing line.

Earlier, in 2025, Kai’s personal life became a centre of controversy. For the unversed, the Twitch streamer had an ugly breakup with lifestyle content creator, Gabrielle Alayah. The duo was head over heels in love. However, their seemingly happy relationship went downhill, and in December 2025, Kai announced on his X (formerly Twitter) handle that he is single. Since that announcement, fans have been building their own theories. Now that Kai Cenat is making headlines with his 'I quit' video, let’s have a look into his broken relationship with ex-girlfriend, Gabrielle Alayah, a.k.a Gigi.

Kai Cenat announces his split from girlfriend and lifestyle content creator, Gabrielle Alayah

Kai Cenat kept his announcement about his split from his then-girlfriend, Gabrielle Alayah, simple. On December 28, 2025, the Twitch streamer took to his X handle and announced that he is single. He also mentioned that he will never be in another relationship again. This breakup announcement came as a shock to his followers, as the former couple was once so much in love with each other. Announcing his split, Kai wrote:

"I’m single, I will never be in another relationship again."

What led to Kai Cenat and Gabrielle Alayah's breakup?

There have been several fan theories that made the rounds on the internet after Kai Cenat announced his breakup. However, a shocking claim that Gigi allegedly cheated on Kai stole the spotlight. Some online users alleged that the lifestyle content creator was romantically involved with NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden. 

While Kai’s simple breakup announcement never hinted at any cheating allegation, fans online started speculating that something serious and messy might have happened between the two behind-the-scenes as the Twitch streamer became quite emotional when he had introduced Gigi as his girlfriend. Reacting to the cheating claims, Gigi said it was she who left the Twitch streamer. She dismissed the infidelity rumours. She was clear and loud to announce that she never cheated on Kai. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Gigi shared a fiery note. The note can be read as:

"I left. Now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative off a FAKE Twitter post is insane. I’ve never cheated on you, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else pls."

After Kai and Gigi established their points of view and announced their split, the former couple chose not to provide any more information surrounding their breakup. Thus, the exact cause behind their split is still unknown. Soon after their breakup, Gigi announced a break from social media on January 1, 2026. The lifestyle content creator shared that she went through a lot in recent times and thus wanted to protect her peace. In her words:

"I am navigating a lot personally, and I want to be honest and just take the time that I need to reset and just protect my own peace."

Who is Gabrielle Alayah, a.k.a Gigi?

While the world might know Gabrielle Alayah a.k.a Gigi as the ex-girlfriend of Kai Cenat, she, too, has her own world. For the uninitiated, Gigi is a lifestyle content creator. She has over 1 million followers on TikTok. However, her personal life has been a bit messy since childhood. Once in a video, Gigi opened up about feeling emotionally neglected as a child.
