Who Is Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah? An Explainer Of Kai Cenat’s Girlfriend

Back in December, Kai Cenat officially revealed that he’s in a romantic relationship. The famed Twitch streamer surprised his fans with a special appearance from his girlfriend— influencer, Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah.

“I got a girlfriend, bi**h!” Kai playfully exclaimed to his chat during his 23rd birthday live celebration. Kai admitted that the romance “came out of nowhere,” but has brought him much happiness and peace.

“I feel better when I wake up,” he gushed about his boo. “I glow a little bit more. It’s good. It’s peaceful.”

Gigi made her debut when she walked into the live session with a custom Spider-Man cake for him. At one point, he comforted her as she said she was “mad nervous” to be in front of his massive audience.

Fans had been speculating for weeks that he was involved with someone, particularly after Kai’s Turks and Caicos getaway. His fans, who he dubbed “Sherlock Holmes” investigators, pieced together clues about the budding romance.

In another livestream, his friends jokingly disowned him for throwing away his “player” card. They hilariously felt contrite that they’d now have to give up “treacherous” activities.

When speaking on Gigi, Kai confessed, “For the first time in my life, besides my family, I felt a human form of purpose.” Find out more about the streamer’s lady below.

    According to People, Alayah was born in Louisiana, but raised in Atlanta. In a YouTube video from Dec. 10, she opened up about her upbringing and confessed that her biggest desire was the “feeling of true love.”

    She explained, “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 moved to Los Angeles for a few years, but has since returned to Atlanta.

    On Jan. 21, she posted a photo carousel with the cake emoji in honor of her 21st birthday— making her an Aquarius.

    Alayah shared on Instagram in October 2024 that she purchased her “big girl condo” at the age of 20.

    “No co-signer, no handouts! Just me and the work I put in for myself,” she gushed. “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!”

  • She’s launching her own clothing line

    Per Alayah’s Instagram bio, she’s the CEO of LDN LAIRE. It’s her fashion company that is “simply for the girlz,” per the brand’s official website. A launch date hasn’t been announced and additional details about the brand remain under wraps.

    Back in Feburary 2023, though, she launched Saintnine, which sold loungewear “for the girlz.” Last year, she shared how she was able to start a company without receiving a college degree, saying that she learned a lot from others with a “business mindset.”

    “If you surround yourself around the right people … they can teach you all you need to know,” Alayah said. “I have people around me that can literally help me with businesses if that’s what I want to do, which it is.”

Who Is Zu? An Explainer Of August Alsina’s Boyfriend

August Alsina and his partner, Zu, are no longer leaving fans guessing about the status of their relationship, as the two have officially confirmed they’re a couple.

While Zu (birth name unknown) has mostly kept a low profile, the 22-year-old upcoming rapper and singer recently addressed the timeline regarding their romance, shutting down speculation about when they first met.

“I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17… not sure where that came from,” he wrote on X after stepping out with Alsina at Club Opium during ATL Pride. “Yeah, there’s a slight age difference, but y’all pick and choose who to judge when it comes to that.”

Alsina first raised eyebrows back in 2022 when he introduced Zu as his “love” during VH1’s The Surreal Life, a moment many viewed as his way of publicly “coming out.”

While the pair didn’t define their relationship at the time, the signs were there: matching fits, cozy photos, joint music ventures, and even intimate moments for Alsina’s Encina Wellness brand.

With so much curiosity surrounding their bond, VIBE has pulled together a few key facts about Zu to give readers a better sense of who he is beyond the romance. Here’s what we know so far.

  • He Has A Huge Social Media Following

    Zu currently has over 83,000 followers on TikTok and over 105,000 followers on Instagram. On social media, he shares his music, fitness journey, his outings and sometimes his moments with August. Also he gets plenty of love for his perfectly chiseled face and body to match.

    Zu is a melodic rapper/singer who has released three singles, with his most recent being “Outside.” He has past collaborative songs with August including “2 AM” and “Yeah Yeah.” The couple also appeared in the “2 AM” music video together where they rode around in a car and shared a monochromatic scene.

  • He First Appeared On ‘The Surreal Life’ Alongside August Alsina

    On the season finale of VH1’s The Surreal Life, August Alsina left fans buzzing when he shared a vulnerable moment while wrapping up his time on the revamped reality series. Seated alone at first, August said, “This experience has taught me love in so many forms and facets. And then what do you know? Love showed up, but in a new way.”

    The “No Love” crooner continued, “I want to honor the person that I love, and that loves me back, and who is teaching me so much about love and healing. I want to do that in front of the world because it defies all the constructs of what people say love is supposed to be or look like.”

    Moments later, Alsina called someone off-camera to join him and entered Zu. Sitting down beside the singer, Zu was met with a heartfelt “I love you” before the two embraced in a hug. The episode cut off there, leaving viewers debating whether the connection was romantic or platonic.

  • Zu Has Known August For 5 Years And They Began Dating When He Was 18

    In a recent rant about his relationship timeline with August, Zu explained their age difference. Zu decided to clarify their relationship after murmurs of when they met resurfaced on social media, with critics speculating that August began dating Zu while he was a minor. According to Zu, that simply isn’t true.

    “I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17… not sure where that came from,” he explained. “Yea, there’s a slight age difference but y’all pick and choose who to judge when it comes to that.”

    “We will have known each other for 5 years toward the end of the year, so he’s speaking in future terms because that’s where we plan to make it.”
