Nearly a month after the death of her brother Presley Gerber, Kaia Gerber finally spoke publicly. The 25-year-old model shared a long, emotional message on Instagram to pay tribute to the man she describes as her best friend and greatest protector.
On September 20, there was dismay, as the whole world learned of the death of Presley Gerber, the son of the famous model Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber, but also the brother of Kaia Gerber.
Since this tragedy, neither Kaia Gerber nor her mother, Cindy Crawford, have spoken publicly about their mourning. The tributes are now public, with heartbreaking images and words.
Kaia shared a video from their childhood, the two of them dancing, with lyrics that were both powerful and harsh.
“Prez, I don’t have the words,” she wrote in particular, before explaining that no book or no reflection allowed her to understand the extent of her pain.
“You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and it will always remain, what I like best about myself,” she confides.
Kaia also talks about learning to live in a world where she can no longer just pick up the phone to call him, while saying that she would still choose to relive every moment spent with him, even knowing the outcome of their story.
For her part, Cindy Crawford also published a touching tribute to her son. On Instagram, the former model shared a black and white photo of Presley, describing him as a “sweet and beautiful” soul, while thanking the countless people who sent their messages of support to the family.
Words that were expected from the public, but which are still full of meaning.
