After announcing his breakup with Gigi Alayah, streamer Kai Cenat changed his Instagram bio and opened up about heartbreak on a YouTube channel that fans had no idea existed.
Kai Cenat took social media by storm when he publicly announced he was no longer in a relationship. The popular Twitch streamer, who has millions of followers across various platforms, had been in a seemingly happy relationship with his now-ex, Gabrielle Gigi Alayah. So when he announced on X that he was "single" and would "never be in another relationship again", fans were left shocked, wondering what could have gone wrong.
Amid ongoing speculations, the internet has discovered a private YouTube space, a channel many fans had no idea existed. It turns out that Kai briefly opened up about his heartbreak after the breakup a few days ago.
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 account and announced he was single. Days later, in a quiet post on a newly discovered private YouTube space called Kai's Mind, the streamer candidly spoke about the emotional toll of his breakup with lifestyle influencer Gigi Alayah and how the relationship changed him. In the short clip, Kai said:
“I stopped living for myself and started living for her. Every day became about her, not me.”
This is the first time Kai has made any personal statement about his breakup, and now, fans are rallying behind him to support his decision and urge him to move on. The comment has brought better clarity about the situation, and while the breakup comment felt extreme initially, fans now think they understand why he walked away.
Kai and Gigi went public with their relationship in late 2024 and appeared inseparable online. Around the streamer's birthday week, Kai revealed during a livestream that he was dating Gigi, speaking openly about how peaceful the relationship felt. At the time, Kai spoke warmly about his partner, saying the relationship gave him a “human form of purpose” for the first time in his life. He also applauded the content creator for being direct and honest, often pointing to her straightforward views as one of the biggest benefits of being in a relationship. The Twitch star said:
"You have somebody to personally, whenever throughout the day, turn to about any situation there is possible. Honest thoughts, honest opinions, keeping it real 100 percent. For the first time in my life, besides my family, I felt a human form of purpose."
However, things changed the moment Gigi decided to leave. Amid numerous fan theories that circulated online after Kai's breakup announcements, 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 Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known as NBA YoungBoy. Some fans also noted that Kai had reportedly been covering her monthly rent of USD 40,000.
While Kai never hinted at any cheating, fans online began speculating that something serious and messy might have happened between the two, as the Twitch streamer was quite emotional when he introduced Gigi as his girlfriend. Reacting to the cheating claims, Gigi said she was the one who left. She dismissed the infidelity rumours. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Gigi wrote:
"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."
Some sources say that the breakup happened simply because of Kai's ego. Besides her friends, even Gigi's mother, Ashlee Monroe, publicly accused the streamer of straining the relationship. On January 1, 2026, Gigi announced a social media break, saying she needed peace.
According to some unverified reports, Gigi has been spending more time with her ex-boyfriend. The influencer's close ones said she looked genuinely happy with him, and some fans said they make a far cuter couple than she and Kai ever did. However, neither Gigi nor her alleged ex made any comment on the reconciliation buzz.
Many of Kai Cenat's fans are just now discovering a quiet and low-key YouTube account, Kai's Mind. The channel has no profile picture or cover photo, which may have led fans to think it was the streamer's other channel. Originally created in 2018, the channel couldn't feel more different from the loud, and sometimes chaotic content Kai is known for. Instead, this channel seems more about self-discovery, with Kai just reading to improve his speech, tracking his workouts, learning to sew, and talking through his thoughts.
A few days ago, after a short break from streaming, Kai uploaded a 23-minute video titled I Quit. The title immediately stirred backlash, with many fans calling it misleading. Rather than announcing his exit from streaming, the video was used to reveal his newly launched clothing brand, Vivet. The streamer explained that he wasn’t quitting his career, but quitting his habit of overthinking.
