Inside Presley Gerber’s Close Bond With Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber

Presley Gerber could always count on his family.

Before the model died on Sept. 20 at age 27, his parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber and sister Kaia Gerber supported him through the ups and downs of his personal and professional life. 

“We’re a close family, especially me and my sister, so it’s definitely cool,” Presley told People of their modeling careers in a joint interview with his sister in February 2018. “We get to travel together half of the time, so it makes it a lot less lonely.”

Having begun modeling three years earlier than her brother, Kaia—two years his junior—also shared advice with him in the early years of his career.

“I love it because I just see him doing so well,” she added to the outlet. “He doesn’t really know much about the industry, so I get to teach him. He’ll be like, ‘Oh, I met this person,’ and I’m like, ‘Presley, do you know who that is? It’s this designer or that designer,’ so I’ll be on set and introduce him to people.”
