Happy birthday, Presley Gerber! Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s model son turns 21 today, and we’re sure this family full of stunners is celebrating with him however they can. Like younger sister Kaia Gerber, Presley got into the modeling game at a young age, no doubt having inherited both mom’s good looks and her modeling talent. While Presley was already in the spotlight due to his modeling work, the 21-year-old’s personal life recently garnered him some attention too, as the model invested in a face tattoo the family found concerning. Presley is determined to make a name for himself outside of the Crawford-Gerber bubble — here’s what we know about what that looks like.
Like any young adult, Presley is right now trying to find his way in life, and having a few detours along the way. A 2019 DUI and a face tattoo the following year had parents worried that the model was acting out, but they ultimately had faith in their son to find his way to the right path. Growing up in the spotlight can’t have been easy, though Presley admits he never knew any other way. He told Vogue Paris he didn’t realize his mom was famous until age 10 — the fact that they had paparazzi following them didn’t phase him.
But if Presley didn’t know it then, he definitely knows it now, when every new outing causes a media flurry. Presley may have hit a few bumps in the road, but he’s clearly determined to stay true to himself, and we admire him for it. Here’s everything we know about Cindy Crawford’s model son.
He’s been modeling since age 16
While sister Kaia started modeling around age 10, Presley didn’t start his career until age 16, and he’s been hooked ever since.
He’s a photographer for model sis Kaia
Before Presley got deep into the modeling world himself, he tried his hand at photography, and sister Kaia was his favorite subject. He has a whole Instagram devoted to pics he’s taken of his sister.
He graduated high school in 2017
Presley graduated from Malibu High School in 2017, and mom and dad were both so proud of their oldest child. Kaia took online classes at Malibu HS as well, so she could complete her degree while traveling for work.

He was arrested for a DUI in 2018
Presley was arrested while driving under the influence in December 2018. In July 2019, he pled guilty to a DUI misdemeanor and was sentenced to three years probation, plus the completion of a DUI program and two days of community service.
He has a face tattoo that says ‘misunderstood’
In February 2020, Presley got a face tattoo that said “misunderstood” and fans freaked out. While Presley insists that the tattoo is exactly what he wanted, his parents privately worried that this was a cry for help.
