Kai Cenat confirms relationship with Tiktok star Gabrielle Alayah, admits he’s ‘in love’ on stream

Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has officially confirmed his relationship with social media influencer Gabrielle Alayah, opening up about his deep connection during a livestream.

“You got me, b****! I got a girlfriend!” Cenat exclaimed with excitement, dancing as fans erupted with support. Reflecting on his newfound happiness, he admitted, “For the first time in my life, besides my family, I felt a human form of purpose... I’m locked in. She’s my best friend.”

When fellow streamer Duke Dennis asked if he was “in love,” Cenat joyfully replied, “Yeah,” before running off camera in giddy excitement. The heartfelt reveal was made even sweeter when Gabrielle Alayah surprised Cenat with a birthday cake for his 23rd birthday, sharing hugs, kisses, and laughter live on stream.

Alayah grew up primarily in Atlanta, where she still resides today after briefly living in Los Angeles. In a December 10 YouTube video, Alayah revealed her upbringing gave her everything she needed materially but left her longing for “the feeling of true love.”

"I just really wanted somebody that was there to just listen ... somebody I could open up to," she said. "It made me strong, it made me feel like I have to hold everything in."

Much like Cenat, Alayah is also a content creator, focusing on TikTok and YouTube where she shares lifestyle content, including fashion hauls and motivational videos. In addition to her social media success, Alayah is a businesswoman who launched her loungewear brand, Saintnine, in February 2023. Despite not holding a college degree, she credited her entrepreneurial success to learning from others with a “business mindset,” sharing, “If you surround yourself with the right people, they can teach you all you need to know.”

Alayah previously denied dating influencers, calling the influencer world “messy” and explaining she prefers building friendships first. However, with Cenat, the connection clearly flourished into something deeper.

As Cenat gushed about their relationship, he recalled feeling “butterflies” when Alayah held his hand during a movie. “I ain’t gonna lie, bro, I’m locked in,” he said, visibly smitten.

After his record-breaking Mafiathon 2 stream, Cenat announced he’ll take a brief vacation but promised fans he’ll return on December 20 with more details about his romance.
