Family difficulties began with the arrest of her father, leading Kayque, her mother and her younger brother to move to the capital of São Paulo in search of a better life.
In Sao Paulo, the situation worsened. Kayque's mother, a victim of domestic violence and drug abuse, was unable to provide a stable environment. The family returned to Tupã, where they faced the rejection of their grandparents. At this critical moment, Thiego Andrade, personal trainer and coach of the football school, welcomed Kayque. Thiego, along with his wife Fabiana and her three children, took responsibility for raising the boy.

With a stable family environment, Kayque could focus on football. In the Alto da Sumaré project, he stood out quickly, attracting the attention of Sports Brazil. However, the distance made it difficult for the club to continue. In July 2023, with the help of sports agent Hemílio Cordeiro, known as Robinho, Kayque reached the Corinthians.
