Presley Gerber publicly battled addiction issues for the past decade until his tragic death at age 27 and he always had the support of his famous parents.
The 27-year-old model was the son of model Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has confirmed that Presley was in a rehab facility when he died on Sunday, September 20.
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have been together for around 30 years
Cindy and Rande met in the early 1990s while attending a mutual friend’s wedding. They were both unavailable at the time (she was married to Richard Gere), but they eventually both became single and later became a couple.
“We started off as friends, and I know that Rande and I, we will always be friends, no matter what,” Cindy said on Master Class in 2013. “Being rooted and based in friendship, it keeps the relationship elevated. There’s always a certain level of respect. We respect each other’s opinion about parenting and our personal life, but also for work stuff … We really listen to each other. I would want that friendship in my life no matter what.”
They got married in May 1998 in the Bahamas.
Cindy and Rande welcomed two children together.
Son Presley Gerber was born in July 1999 and daughter Kaia Gerber was born in September 2001.
Rande Gerber raved about his love for Cindy Crawford
In 2022, Rande spoke out in a rare interview about his love for Cindy.
He told Haute Living, “There are so many things I love about her. She’s still a small-town girl at heart. The most important thing to Cindy is her family and making sure that we’re all happy. She’s so low-key despite her high-profile position. She’s someone who constantly gives back, who does so many things for so many people without asking for anything in return. She means the world to me.”
Cindy Crawford is one of the most famous supermodels ever
Cindy became an icon in the world of modeling after appearing in George Michael‘s music video for “Freedom! ’90” and then starring in a 1991 Pepsi commercial.
In the 1990s, Cindy was part of the “Big Five” group of supermodels that also included Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Claudia Schiffer.
Cindy ended her full-time modeling career in 2000. She launched a home collection in 2005, including collections with Rooms to Go, Raymour & Flanigan, and JC Penney.

Alongside his longtime best friend George Clooney and business partner Michael Meldman, Rande helped launch Casamigos Tequila in 2013. Just four years later, the company was sold to Diageo for $700 million.
Cindy and Rande have a combined net worth of $400 million.
