Tragic Details About Cindy Crawford’s Son, Presley

Presley Gerber is the child of two models. His mom is supermodel Cindy Crawford, and his dad is model-turned-tequila mogul Rande Gerber. Gerber was always set to follow in his famous parents' footsteps. In 2018, he starred in a remake of Crawford's famous 1992 Pepsi ad. Gerber first hit the runway in 2016 at 16 for Moschino. He has since landed modeling jobs with Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Dolce & Gabbana. He recently starred in a Céline campaign. Gerber's time in the spotlight has sometimes been challenging. Presley Gerber was charged with a DUI. The New Year is usually a feel-good celebration, but for Presley Gerber, 2019 was a horrible start. TMZ reports that Gerber, 19 at the time, was seen speeding in his Tesla by a Beverly Hills police officer in the early morning. Cops gave him a field sobriety test after smelling alcohol on him. Gerber failed the test and was charged with a DUI. He was released without bail. The charge meant the young model faced a fine and a year without a license. Gerber pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI and was sentenced to three years probation. The model had to do a DUI program and two days of community service. In 2020, Page Six saw his girlfriend, Cameron Rorrison, drop him off at a drug-testing facility to complete the DUI program. When Presley Gerber started modeling, he had few tattoos and a clean-cut face like his supermodel mother. By 2020, the young model had tattoos all over his body. Large tattoos are usually frowned upon in the modeling world. One of Presley's causes caused social media to be in an uproar and upset his parents. His family's success made Presley feel lost, and he wanted to make a name for himself. Having a rebellious son isn't new for any parent. But Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber were heartbroken watching their son in the media. When Presley Gerber got a face tattoo and called himself "misunderstood," Crawford and her husband Rande hoped it was just a phase. Gerber's lousy behavior continued on social media. In October 2022, Presley Gerber hinted that he was in a relationship with model Lexi Woods. The pair had been dating less than a year when Gerber announced their relationship on Instagram and said he had proposed. "Guys, I did it," the model captioned photos of the two (via Page Six). Presley Gerber's parents were models. Gerber found success early as a model, walking runway shows for Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana. At 17, Gerber won the Emerging Model of the Year award. He was the next big thing in the industry. Gerber seemed uninterested in modeling. In 2020, fans asked the model if he planned to do runways. "I'm not a big fan, but I do it when possible," he said. In August 2024, Presley Gerber shared personal struggles on Instagram. Gerber told fans about his addiction and recovery. "I'm scared as the detox date approaches," he said. "It's scary to get clean. That's why so many people struggle with it." Gerber said he was open about his addiction and seeking treatment to hold himself accountable. He offered to answer questions about trying it. Gerber sounded refreshed and motivated about getting clean despite the seriousness of the topic and his nerves about the treatment.
