pinterest board here but be warned for some potential nsfw / body image ! 

originally from north carolina, and he was raised by a single mom ( he doesn’t know who is dad is ) who worked two jobs at all times to get kai where he wanted to be which basically wore the poor woman down , which kai only realised when it was too late 

illness tw : his mom was diagnosed with alzheimers through kai’s final years of high school which were also the years where he was finally picking up acting roles after years of auditions and working his ass off to fly back and forth to los angeles for castings. he was in a couple films as a kid, but nothing notable until he was cast in the fosters, and he moved with his mom to los angeles to film it ! 

working so much, now both for himself and for his mom and the growing medical bills meant that he was constantly under pressure to keep his passion for acting strong so that it wasn’t  ‘ all for nothing ‘ and so he could pay the bills, basically. 

drugs / alcohol tw : he started to hang around with a group of other aspiring actors who introduced him to the glitz and ‘glamour’ of hollywood, from lavish parties and rare invitations to the wild parties and ‘ free ‘ drugs, something he easily fell into so he could keep up with the pressure of everything. 

twenty-one and he was well and truly in the limelight working in his role in the fosters, partying up a storm and slowly forgetting about his responsibilities. he met a girl, another actress while working on a romantic drama film and after a weekend of ??? passion ?? they hooked up on a once-off and didn’t see each other again for a few months until promo for the film begun. 

death tw : he lost his mom this same month to her illnesses , and he fell into his habits even more - frequenting the tabloids and not in a pretty way, either. this was around the time that he found out he was gonna be a dad , two weeks into promo and the actress he’d had the fling with told him she was three months along and !! it was his. 

after he was cast in to all the boys i’ve loved before as the lead, he was immediately recognised for his acting, finally, and his hard work was starting to pay off - and when his daughter was born during filming, he kept it a secret as well as he could to protect her, and he still does.

after a small stint in rehab in 2019, he was stable enough to get back into things, cementing himself as ‘the heartthrob’ as much as the label made him cringe, it was a little accurate.

a bit of a player , will charm the hell out of anyone he wants to get close to and kinda sleeps around a lot ?? not a huGe fan of commitment but also a huge romantic so GOOD LUCK

humble to an extent , kinda let the fame get to him a little and spends way too much money trying to fit in to hollywood and leave his less-wealthy life behind and the guilt that lives there, too. 

rides a motorbike but is the clumsiest guy you’d meet, so he is constantly injured 

ask him specifically to not speak sarcastic and you might get a proper answer from him
