Cindy Crawford says she could not “imagine” the pain of losing a child years before the death of her son, Presley Walker Gerber, at age 27. Multiple outlets report that Crawford previously spoke about how the possibility of such a loss felt unimaginable to her.
In earlier comments discussed by both sources, Crawford links her perspective to her family history. She recalls growing closer to her mother after the death of her younger brother, Jeffrey, who died from leukemia when he was young. The outlets frame the remarks as a personal reflection made long before Presley’s death, focusing on how her experience with grief shaped her view of future tragedies.
