Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old eldest son of legendary American supermodel Cindy Crawford, has passed away, leaving his family in deep grief. His younger sister, Kaia Gerber, has been profoundly affected; she has rarely appeared in public since the tragedy, but was recently spotted at a gym in Los Angeles—marking her first return to a semblance of her daily routine in three weeks.
According to the Daily Mail, Kaia was seen arriving at a Los Angeles gym, dressed entirely in black and wearing sunglasses to conceal her face, clearly attempting to keep a low profile. It is reported that she has been struggling immensely following her brother’s death, spending most of her time at home, supported by friends and family who have rallied around her during this difficult period.
The report notes that her partner, Lewis Pullman, has remained by her side, while close family friends—including Laura Dern and George Clooney—have also visited to offer their support.
Kaia has previously spoken openly about her struggles with eating disorders, and the recent trauma of losing her brother has further disrupted her daily life. Reports indicate that she has had little appetite, and she is currently in the process of readjusting to her everyday routine. Her family hopes she can gradually return to a regular lifestyle, and her recent visit to the gym is seen as a step toward regaining her rhythm.
For her mother, Cindy Crawford, the situation involves not only mourning the loss of her son but also supporting her daughter through this period of profound sorrow. Kaia has upcoming professional commitments, including a role in the thriller Bulls, scheduled to begin filming later this year—a project in which she is set to appear alongside her boyfriend, Lewis Pullman. While the production team is reportedly open to adjusting the filming schedule as needed, removing Kaia’s scenes entirely would be a complex challenge.
During his lifetime, Presley had spoken publicly about his long-standing battle with substance dependency and psychological trauma. When her son sought medical assistance this past March, Cindy Crawford offered him words of encouragement, writing: “You are a warrior! You’ve made it through the fire and finally found your way back to yourself—I am so proud of you!” At the time, Kaia also reached out to her brother publicly, saying: “I’m so proud of your courage. Seeing you find your way back to yourself means everything to me—I love you so much.” The siblings shared a deep bond, and his sudden passing is undoubtedly an unbearable blow to Kaia.
