Kai Cenat, that’s all you, playa?! That’s the energy poppin’ off in the comment sections after a new shirtless photo of the streamer surfaced online. Some of the reactions to Kai’s body transformation include mentions of his ex-girlfriend, Gabrielle ‘Gigi’ Alayah, and other motivations for him to keep up his gym journey.

Kai Cenat Poses In New Gym Photo

On Thursday (August 6), Kai Cenat took to his second Instagram page, @kchidd3n, to share a gym progress photo. He posted the update on his Instagram Stories, cropping out a man standing next to the streamer, his arm around the streamer’s shoulders. Kai didn’t include any text with the upload. Additionally, in the flick, he maintained a serious demeanor while posing shirtless and rocking straight-back cornrows.

The Comment Section Is Drooling Over The Streamer 

In The Shade Room’s comment section on Instagram, the roommates were LIVING for Kai Cenat’s apparent glow-up. Nearly 1,000 reactions later and the chat is overly loaded with love for the streamer’s physical journey, especially after previously taking a social media break and engaging his other passions, including fashion and music. Some mentions have even hinted that his ex-bae, Gigi and their break-up last year was the catalyst for Kai Cenat’s new look. Keep scrolling for reactions to the streamer’s fit and fione journey.

@kingikey commented on TSR’s Instagram, “My boy getting his weight up fr!!” 

“You gotta get in the gym when she do you like that 😂,” @chakabars wrote.

“Damnnnn Daddddyyyyyy 😂🥰,” @thecleverone_ added.

“Every man knows what caused this 😂,” @sua_ve said.

“This how it be when you check outta heartbreak hotel lol,” @lord.ap1 commented.

@ricabobica joked, “Ima need my man to break up with me for a quick month.”

“Them heart breaks make you change your life for the better,” @slaywithdre added.

@imani_doesmyhair weighed in, “Them breakups will revamp you. ❤️”

“That girl done made Kai hit the gym 😂😭,” @laceygotit_ said.

“That breakup really did sum’n to him,” @courtneyy.danielle added.

“Every time! It fixes it every time!!! The next one gone be better anyway 💯😂😂😂,” @youpawnthings commented.

“It’s like one of those divorce videos on TikTok! Before and after lol,” @hilary_notbanks.

How Heartbreak Led To A Glow-Up

Two days after Christmas last year, Kai Cenat announced his split from his very public girlfriend, Gabrielle ‘Gigi’ Alayah. In the post, he claimed he’d “never be in another relationship again.” Fans immediately suspected infidelity caused the break-up, but she later denied those rumors. Most recently, in July, the streamer admitted to and apologized for mishandling their split in the public eye.
However, just weeks after the break-up, Cenat took a large step back from streaming and social media. While he was posting less, there were indications of him spending ample time in the gym and sharing that workout content.

This new body transformation photo hit the internet just days after he also gagged the girls with his fresh hair. Kai had ditched his signature shoulder-length locs for braids, rocking cornrows and a fade now.
