Presley Gerber, model and son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died on Sunday, September 20, 2026. He was 27 years old. He died at an addiction treatment center in Los Angeles County. The cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
The family has asked for privacy.
Who he was
He was born in 1999 in California. He was the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, co-founder of the Casamigos tequila brand together with George Clooney. His younger sister is model and actress Kaia Gerber.
He also followed in the fashion footsteps. At 15, he signed a contract with IMG Models. He made his runway debut at 16, for Moschino. He worked, among others, for Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Burberry and Bottega Veneta. He also appeared in a Pepsi campaign alongside his mother.
A struggle he spoke about openly
In recent years he spoke openly about depression, mental health and addiction. In 2023, on the Studio 22 podcast, he said that if his story pulled even one person out of the depths, that would be enough.
A few weeks before his death, Kaia Gerber, in an interview for „Vogue”, spoke about her brother’s years-long battle with addiction and how the whole family had had to face it.
In July, on her son’s 27th birthday, Cindy Crawford wrote that she was proud of the man he had become, but would always see her little boy in him.
What is known now
According to documents from the Los Angeles County coroner, death occurred at an addiction treatment facility. The autopsy has not yet been completed. Family spokeswoman Allie Jenkins confirmed the information to the media and asked for peace.
