You may have heard about Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, but we bet you haven’t heard about her son, Presley Gerber. Presley’s dad is also a supermodel; Rande Gerber started as a model before becoming a tequila mogul. Presley was first introduced to the public when he appeared in his mother’s famous Pepsi commercial in 1992. Then, he started his own modeling career at 16 years old when he walked the runway for Moschino. Since then, he’s modeled for brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and most recently, Celine.
But despite his success as a model and his good looks, he’s had struggles in the tabloids and a chaotic track record on social media. Despite having a glamorous life, Presley’s life has also been filled with tragedies.
Presley Gerber was arrested for driving under the influence
When he was 19, Presley was caught speeding in his Tesla in Beverly Hills. After the cop pulled him over for reckless driving, he was charged with a DUI, which resulted in a fine and a suspended license. He was also forced to complete a DUI program.
Presley Gerber’s face tattoo is controversial
By 2020, this model had gone from barely inked to covered in tattoos on his neck, torso and arms. He also got a face tat on his right cheek that read “misunderstood” which he received backlash for. Many people said he was ruining his modeling career, but Presley stood up for himself on Instagram Live, saying that he felt misunderstood his whole life and that his mom supported him in getting the tattoo. However, just a year later, he had it removed.
He felt pressure as the nepo baby of Cindy Crawford
Having a successful family isn’t always easy. While Presley was always in the headlines for negative things, the rest of his family had a pristine reputation. The tabloids said it was a form of rebellion, and a source told Us Weekly that he was trying to get away from the “shadow of his family” and didn’t mind the negative attention if it meant carving his own identity.
