Looking at Gabrielle Alayah's background and her relationship with Kai Cenat

The rumors surrounding "Kai Cenat's girlfriend" were at an all-time high leading up to the streamer's reveal. Kai touched upon this in his latest broadcast and spoke about how he feels about Gabrielle:

"For the first time in my life, besides my family, I felt a human form of purpose... ('You in love?', asked Duke Dennis) Yeah (Laughs)" (Timestamp - 35:40)

Gabrielle later showed up and surprised Kai Cenat with a Spider-Man-themed cake, and their interaction during the stream confirmed their relationship.

Alayah's rise to fame began in December 2020 when she launched her TikTok account, @igobygg, where she shares dance videos and lip-sync performances. Her content has resonated with a wide audience, amassing over 461,900 followers and more than 13 million likes.

On YouTube, her most viewed video is a Q/A-style, "Life update" where she speaks about her background, why she chose not to go to college, and her aspirations for the future.

"I'm from Louisiana but I was raised in Atlanta Georgia. I've lived in a couple different places, Atlanta was just one of the places that I really grew up like a lot of my childhood friends are from here." (Timestamp - 16:37)

The video was uploaded on December 11, 2024, and five days later, she appeared on Kai Cenat's stream. As part of her Q/A video, Gabrielle was asked if she has ever dated an "influencer," — one of the ways one could categorize Kai's professional life. In response, she claimed that getting into the "influencer world" was not quite her speed:

"I don't date influencers, I don't get into that world. The influencer world is very mixy and messy and just all over the place, especially right now like I don't know what they got going on. I don't even like to be called an influencer because of a lot of the stuff that I be seeing like that's not me." (Timestamp - 20:34)

Alayah's entrepreneurial spirit is evident through her clothing company, Saintnine, which she launched in February 2023. The brand focuses on loungewear "for the girlz," showcasing her commitment to inspiring young women to achieve success independently.

The relationship has not been without controversy, as critics like Fresh and Fit's Myron Gaines have speculated that Gabrielle Alayah may be leveraging Kai Cenat’s “money, status, and fame” for personal gain. That being said, Alayah is a strong advocate for women's independence:

"I want to inspire girls to just not depend on a man. I want to inspire girls to have your own bag... have your own everything. Even if you do have a man, your lifestyle does not change whether he's in your life or out your life. You can you can maintain the life you want to live by yourself. That's what I want to inspire young girls to do." (Timestamp - 33:42)

As she approaches her 21st birthday, Gabrielle Alayah continues to make strides in the digital space, balancing her personal life and professional endeavors. Her relationship with Kai Cenat has brought her additional attention, but her dedication to her craft and entrepreneurial ventures remain central to her identity as a content creator and influencer.
