American supermodel’s son Presley Gerber dies at 27

Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of American supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, passed away on September 20, 2026. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed his death, noting that it occurred at a rehabilitation facility. Crawford's representative, Allie Jenkins, requested privacy during this difficult time.

Presley was born on July 2, 1999, in Beverly Hills, California, and was the only son of Crawford and Gerber. He followed in his mother's footsteps by entering the fashion industry as a teenager, signing with IMG Models at just 15 years old. Gerber's career included stints with major brands such as Calvin Klein, Celine, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, and Tommy Hilfiger.

He also appeared alongside his sister Kaia Gerber, making modelling a less lonely experience for both. Gerber became known for his openness about mental health and substance abuse issues, discussing them on the Studio 22 podcast in 2023. He aimed to help others who faced similar struggles, stating that he hoped to "make the mistakes for some other people."

His journey was marked by public declarations of his battles with mental health and addiction, which he hoped would make others feel less alone.
