“I want to apologize”: Kai Cenat addresses viral cheating speculation following Gigi Alayah breakup

Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has finally addressed the storm surrounding his breakup with Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah, weeks after their split sent social media into detective mode. The internet moved fast. Rumors multiplied. Screenshots circulated. But Cenat chose silence until now, briefly posting and deleting a message on Instagram that aimed to slow the narrative down.

The relationship ended in December 2025 after a year in the public eye. What began with a birthday stream debut soon became one of Twitch’s most talked about romances. When Cenat later tweeted that he was single, speculation took over timelines. Cheating allegations, assistant drama, and fan theories blurred the line between fact and fiction.

Kai Cenat calls out “rumors” and asks fans for respect

In his Instagram statement, Cenat acknowledged the chatter without diving into details. “There have been rumors, speculation, and comments made about my previous relationship and my friends,” he wrote. “I want to apologize for not addressing things sooner, but I needed to take a step back from social media and process everything.

“If there’s ever something important, something real for me to address or say, you will hear it directly from me. You’ll always hear it from me. Don’t let all the noise distract from that. This applies to everything in my life. My relationships, my businesses, my streams, everything. I wish the best to Gabrielle and ask to please respect both sides.”

His words arrive after Gigi publicly denied cheating claims and pushed back against online accusations. She also alleged interference from members of Cenat’s inner circle, claims that were later disputed. The back and forth only intensified interest in the breakup.

The message by Cenat can be interpreted as a quest to restart the dialogue. He has created his own boundary in what he believes to be true instead of creating speculation. To avid fans of all streams and social updates, that is important. The divorce can be their secret affair, but one thing is definite. Cenat would rather have his story back.
