With renowned streamer, Kai Cenat confirming his breakup with girlfriend, Gabrielle Alayah, here's everything we know about her.
Kai Cenat is one of the most popular American streamers of our time. At only 24 years of age, he has successfully amassed over 20 million followers on Twitch owing to his comedic live streams and videos. In fact, as of late 2025, he is the most-subscribed Twitch streamer in the entire world, followed by streamers, Ibai, Ninja, Auronolay, and Rubius.
If you follow the internet personality closely, you might know that he has been in a steady relationship with girlfriend, Gabrielle ‘Gigi’ Alayah, since the end of 2024. However, recently, Kai Cenat found himself grabbing the headlines for reportedly breaking up with her. This led many fans and media outlets to speculate on the cause of their split, with some even claiming that they broke up because Gabrielle cheated on Kai. If you are interested in knowing more about Gabrielle Alayah, here's everything we know about her.
According to People, Gabrielle, with whom Kai Cenat had been in a relationship for nearly a year, was born in Louisiana. Regardless of this, she spent her childhood years in Atlanta. As someone who regularly posts YouTube videos, a quick look at some of them will give you more of an idea when it comes to her upbringing. In a December 10, 2024, video, she revealed that although she grew up with the material things that most people would want, her biggest desire was the "feeling of true love." To quote her exact words:
"I just really wanted somebody that was there to just listen...somebody I could open up to. That made me the way I am today...It made me strong, it made me feel like I have to hold everything in."
She was born on January 21, 2004. After growing up, Gabrielle moved to live in Los Angeles for a few years. However, she soon returned to the place where she grew up, in Atlanta.
One thing that Gabrielle has in common with her now-ex-boyfriend, Kai Cenat, is that both of them are content creators. Both Kai and Gabrielle have their own YouTube channels with significant fan followings. Apart from this, Gabrielle is also an influencer on TikTok, with over 1 million followers on the platform, and nearly 437 thousand followers on Instagram.
The content she posts can be categorised as lifestyle, including videos like fashion hauls, comedy skits, and glimpses into her daily life. According to Gabrielle, the reason she shares her content with the world is to “show girls certain things are possible to accomplish in life as a woman.”
In October 2024, the influencer took to her Instagram to share with her followers that she had purchased her first “big girl condo”. This was a big achievement for her as she was only 20 years old at the time. In the post, she gushed about not needing a co-signer to purchase her place. According to her, it wasn't a handout but rather the result of all her hard work. In her own words:
“No co-signer, no handouts! Just me and the work I put in for myself. I’m so proud of me and who I’ve become life could have went so many different ways & honestly I wouldn’t want it no other way, this is only the beginning! God has perfect timing for everything. I’m just so happy, blessed & thankful!”
Not many might be aware of this, but apart from being an influencer, Gabrielle also owns a clothing company. She launched Saintnine, a company selling loungewear “for the girlz” in February 2023. In a video that she posted on her social media, she opened up about how, despite not having a college degree, she was able to build a successful business. According to her, she learned a lot from those with a “business mindset.” She said:
"If you surround yourself around the right people...they can teach you all you need to know. I have people around me that can literally help me with businesses if that's what I want to do, which it is."
Although we do not know the exact timeframe of when Gabrielle Alayah and Kai Cenat started dating, Kai announced that he had a girlfriend during a livestream that he held on December 15, 2024. At the time, when one of his friends asked if he was in love, the renowned streamer responded with a, “Yeah. I ain't gonna lie bro, I'm locked in.” Gabrielle Alayah and Kai reportedly met in Manhattan. For their first date, like most couples, they chose a movie theatre.
At the time, Gabrielle and Kai's relationship came as a shock, especially to Gabrielle's fans, as she had previously mentioned during a Q&A session that she wouldn't date anyone in the same industry as her. She said that she doesn't "date influencers, I don't get into that world. The influencer world is very mix-ey and messy and just all over the place."
