Cindy Crawford’s Son, Presley Gerber, Dies at 27
Presley Walker Gerber, the son of American supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at the age of 27. Gerber reportedly died on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at a rehabilitation facility, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. His death was confirmed by Allie Jenkins, a representative of his parents, who said the family was requesting privacy during the difficult period. The official cause of death had not been disclosed, with an autopsy still pending. Born on July 2, 1999, in Beverly Hills, California, Presley was the elder brother of model and actress Kaia Gerber. He followed his mother into modelling as a teenager and was reportedly signed by IMG Models at 15. His runway debut came in 2016, and he later worked with major fashion labels including Calvin Klein, Celine, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger.
Beyond fashion, Gerber became known for speaking publicly about mental health, recovery and personal challenges. In a 2023 podcast appearance, he described mental health as a major part of his life and said he hoped his experiences would help others feel less alone. He also shared related reflections through social media under the title “Mental Health Mondays.” His openness followed years of public attention surrounding personal struggles, including a 2020 facial tattoo bearing the word “misunderstood” and a previous driving-under-the-influence case. In an interview published in August 2026, his sister Kaia described his battle with addiction as a long-term family challenge and praised his willingness to be vulnerable. Gerber also spoke about loss and seeking help in a video shared in December 2025. He is survived by his parents and sister, who have asked the public to respect their privacy.
