Cindy Crawford, the iconic supermodel, continues to inspire her children, Kaia and Presley Gerber, both of whom have followed her into the modeling world. In a recent interview with TODAY, Kaia shared her admiration for her mother, saying, “She’s always been my biggest inspiration and hero.” Presley reflected on growing up knowing his mom was a celebrity, recalling the awe of onlookers recognizing Crawford in public.
Despite her stellar career, Crawford has prioritized family, balancing her roles as a phenomenal model and a dedicated mother. She emphasized the importance of family, stating that having children helped her identify her priorities quickly. She noted a moment when Presley told his preschool teachers that she didn’t work, which she interpreted as a sign that she was successfully present for her kids.
Kaia started modeling early, featuring in commercials with Crawford as a toddler, and both siblings have carved out their careers in the industry, with Kaia even gracing the cover of Vogue alongside their mother. Presley has also made his mark, revisiting their mother’s famous Pepsi Super Bowl commercial in a new rendition. The siblings appreciate that their mother does not act as a “stage mom,” allowing them to pursue their careers independently.
Recently, the Gerber family united as the face of Vuori Clothing, a brand that Rande Gerber discovered in Malibu. Presley acknowledged how this collaboration offered the family a unique opportunity to be creative together in ways they usually didn’t explore.
Crawford’s nurturing approach to family has fostered strong bonds. Kaia credited her mother as the “glue” holding the family together, highlighting traditions such as Sunday pizza nights. As Mother’s Day approaches, Crawford expressed her desire for simple gestures of love, such as a handwritten card, rather than extravagant gifts.
The story of the Gerber family illustrates a blend of ambition and close family ties, showing that with mutual support and love, they can navigate the demanding world of modeling together.
