Kaia Gerber, born September 3, 2001, has gained significant attention as a model and actress, following in the footsteps of her renowned mother, Cindy Crawford. In a recent interview, Gerber discussed the impact of her older brother, Presley Gerber’s, struggles with addiction and mental health on their family dynamic. She explained that she began to identify as “the easy one” and avoided asking for help, feeling that her family already had enough challenges. Presley, born in July 1999, has publicly shared his experiences with substance use and panic attacks, a decision Kaia admires for its vulnerability.
Gerber has also been candid about her “nepo baby” status, a term used for children of famous parents who enter similar industries. She acknowledged benefiting from her parents’ connections and advice, stating, “I’ve only ever been a nepo baby, and I’ve only ever benefited in my career from it.” However, she also revealed a critical stance, admitting she judges other “nepo babies” and expects them to demonstrate their deservingness for opportunities. This perspective came up during her work on the new series “The Shards,” where she co-stars with Homer Gere, son of actor Richard Gere. Interestingly, Kaia’s mother, Cindy Crawford, was married to Richard Gere from 1991 to 1995.
Despite the advantages, Gerber has also spoken about body image pressures, having been compared to her mother throughout her life, and her own experiences with disordered eating. She emphasized the importance of positive communication when discussing eating disorders, asserting that “negativity has never saved someone’s life.”
