Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and model, dies at 27

Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday at age 27 in Los Angeles. A family representative confirmed the death, and the medical examiner had not released a cause pending more testing after an autopsy. Gerber had been open about mental health and substance abuse struggles, and had built a modeling career of his own.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility and had not yet determined a cause of death Sunday.

A family representative confirmed the death and asked for privacy on behalf of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

Gerber had launched a Mental Health Mondays series on Instagram to raise awareness and share wellness tips.

He signed with IMG as a teenager, made his runway debut for Moschino at 16, and later signed with DNA Models.

In July 2025, Gerber said in an Instagram video that his quality of life suffered after he stopped spending hours in the water as an athlete and began working.

LOS ANGELES — Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessperson Rande Gerber, died Sunday at age 27, a family representative said.

Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility, according to online records of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The medical examiner did not provide a cause of death Sunday. An autopsy was performed, but more testing is required before investigators can give a cause, according to the medical examiner’s website.

The death was confirmed by Allie Jenkins, a representative for Crawford and Rande Gerber, who were married in 1998.

“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” Jenkins said in an email Sunday night.

Gerber was a model in his own right

Gerber was a model and the older brother of model and actor Kaia Gerber. He had been open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse, documenting his journey on Instagram. He even started a “Mental Health Mondays” series on the platform to raise awareness and share wellness tips. Across multiple episodes, he related his own experiences with substances ranging from ketamine to kratom, as well as his time at rehabilitation facilities.

He posted an Instagram video in March from Mexico, where he said he planned to take ibogaine, a potent psychedelic that is being studied as a treatment for opioid addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and other conditions. Ibogaine — known to sometimes trigger potentially fatal heart problems — is banned in the U.S. under the federal government’s most restrictive category for illegal, high-risk drugs, although President Donald Trump directed his administration to ease restrictions and spur research.

Raised in Malibu, California, Gerber signed with the management agency IMG as a teenager and made his runway debut for Moschino at 16. In 2018, he appeared alongside his mother — whose famous beauty mark he inherited — in a Pepsi Super Bowl ad that paid homage to her 1992 commercial for the soda brand. That same year, he and his sister shot a campaign for Calvin Klein jeans.

Gerber later signed with DNA Models. His biography on the agency's website describes him as an entrepreneur and model who was inspired by “his mother’s legendary modeling career and his father’s lucrative business career.” Rande Gerber's businesses have included restaurants, nightlife companies and Casamigos — a tequila brand he cofounded with George Clooney and Mike Meldman that was sold to Diageo in a $1 billion deal.

Gerber was open about his struggles with addiction

Gerber's modeling biography also described him as an “avid surfer and skater.” In an Instagram video posted in July 2025, Gerber described growing up as a dedicated athlete who spent hours in the water nearly every day — a routine that came to a halt when he started working. With less physical activity, Gerber said, he was put on more medication and his quality of life suffered.

“For me it took 10 years of looking back at my life being like, ‘Well, what changed?’ A lot of the time people would ask like, ‘You were such a happy kid; what happened to you?’” he recalled. “What happened was life happened and I wasn't able to worry about one thing, which was my next meal and then get back in the ocean. Like I had to start making money, I had to start — I got a job.”

In an interview with Vogue last month, Kaia Gerber praised her brother for being so open about his experience with addiction.

“My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything—and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone,’” she told the magazine. “There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them.”

In addition to his testimonial videos, Gerber's Instagram was a collection of modeling shoots and memories that stretched back to childhood. His life around cameras influenced his own interest in photography as an art form.

“I have always been the type of person to stop and take a picture when everybody is just focused on the destination,” he told Vogue in 2016, on the occasion of his runway debut. “I feel like people walk by a countless amount of beauty in the world every day, and I hope that I don’t miss all of it.”

辛迪·克劳馥和兰德·格伯的儿子普雷斯利·格伯于周日在洛杉矶去世，年仅27岁。一位家庭代表证实了这一消息，法医尚未公布死因，需等待尸检后的进一步检测结果。格伯曾公开谈论自己与心理健康和药物滥用作斗争的经历，并凭借自身努力开创了模特事业。

洛杉矶县法医表示，格伯于周日在一家康复中心去世，但尚未确定死因。

一位家庭代表证实了这一死讯，并代表辛迪·克劳馥和兰德·格伯请求外界尊重他们的隐私。

Gerber曾在Instagram上发起“心理健康星期一”系列活动，旨在提高人们的心理健康意识并分享健康小贴士。

他十几岁时与 IMG 签约，16 岁时为 Moschino 走秀，之后与 DNA Models 签约。

2025 年 7 月，格伯在 Instagram 视频中表示，自从他不再像以前那样作为运动员在水中待上几个小时，而是开始工作后，他的生活质量受到了影响。

洛杉矶——据一位家庭代表称，超模辛迪·克劳馥和商人兰德·格伯的儿子普雷斯利·格伯于周日去世，享年27岁。

根据洛杉矶县法医办公室的在线记录，格伯死于一家康复中心。法医办公室周日并未公布死因。法医办公室网站称，虽然已进行尸检，但调查人员在确定死因前还需要进行更多检测。

克劳馥和兰德·格伯的代表艾莉·詹金斯证实了这一死讯，两人于 1998 年结婚。

詹金斯在周日晚间的一封电子邮件中表示：“在这个非常艰难和痛苦的时刻，家属希望得到隐私。”

格伯本身就是一位模特。

格伯曾是一名模特，也是模特兼演员凯雅·格伯的哥哥。他坦诚地分享了自己与心理健康问题和药物滥用作斗争的经历，并在Instagram上记录了这段历程。他甚至在该平台上发起了一个名为“心理健康星期一”的系列，旨在提高人们对心理健康问题的认识并分享健康小贴士。在多期节目中，他讲述了自己使用从氯胺酮到卡痛等各种药物的经历，以及在戒毒所接受治疗的时光。

今年三月，他从墨西哥发布了一段Instagram视频，称他计划服用伊博格碱。伊博格碱是一种强效迷幻剂，目前正在研究其作为治疗阿片类药物成瘾、创伤后应激障碍和其他疾病的疗效。伊博格碱有时会引发致命的心脏问题，在美国被联邦政府列为最严格的非法高风险药物，尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统已指示其政府放宽限制并推动相关研究。

格伯在加州马里布长大，十几岁时就与IMG经纪公司签约，16岁时为莫斯奇诺 (Moschino) 走秀，完成了他的T台首秀。2018年，他与母亲——他继承了母亲著名的美人痣——一同出演了百事可乐的超级碗广告，该广告致敬了母亲1992年为该品牌拍摄的广告。同年，他和姐姐还为卡尔文·克莱恩 (Calvin Klein) 牛仔裤拍摄了广告大片。

格伯后来与DNA模特经纪公司签约。该公司网站上的个人简介称他是一位企业家兼模特，其灵感源于“母亲传奇的模特生涯和父亲成功的商业生涯”。兰德·格伯的商业版图涵盖餐厅、夜生活场所，以及他与乔治·克鲁尼和迈克·梅尔德曼共同创立的龙舌兰酒品牌Casamigos——该品牌最终以10亿美元的价格出售给了帝亚吉欧。

格伯坦诚地谈到了他与毒瘾作斗争的经历。

格伯的模特简介中也提到他是一位“冲浪和滑板爱好者”。在2025年7月发布的一段Instagram视频中，格伯讲述了自己从小就是一名热爱运动的运动员，几乎每天都要在水里待上几个小时——但这一切在他开始工作后就戛然而止。格伯表示，运动量减少后，他需要服用更多药物，生活质量也随之下降。

“我花了十年时间回顾自己的人生，一直在想，‘到底发生了什么变化？’很多人会问我，‘你以前是个多么快乐的孩子啊，你怎么变成现在这样了？’”他回忆道。“事情就是这样，生活发生了变化，我再也不能只担心一件事，比如下一顿饭吃什么，然后就回到海里了。我必须开始赚钱，我必须开始——我找了份工作。”

上个月，凯雅·格伯在接受《Vogue》杂志采访时，称赞她的哥哥能够如此坦诚地谈论自己的吸毒经历。

“我的父母一生中大部分时间都非常注重隐私，从不与人分享任何事情——而现在，我的哥哥却成了我们的榜样，他说：‘我要对每个人都展现出最真实的一面。’”她告诉杂志。“你能对这个世界隐瞒的事情终究是有限的。试图掩盖某些事情只会让对方觉得你为他们感到羞耻。”

除了他的证言视频外，格伯的Instagram账号还收藏了他从童年时期就开始的模特拍摄照片和回忆。他从小就生活在镜头前，这影响了他对摄影这门艺术的兴趣。

“我总是那种在大家都只关注目的地的时候停下来拍照的人，”他在2016年首次登上T台时告诉《Vogue》杂志。“我觉得人们每天都会错过世界上无数的美景，我希望自己不会错过它们。”
