Kaia Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford: "I would love to have my mother's body"

BarcelonaCindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, has revealed that she has suffered from eating disorders due to constant comparisons with her mother. In an interview with Vogue, Gerber spoke about the insecurities she suffered from a very young age. “I would love to have my mother’s body. People have always made comments about my physique, and that’s difficult because one is not always mentally prepared to comment on one’s own body,” she said. The actress and model assures that “these comments will not make you look better” and says “that negativity has never saved anyone”.

“It’s an honor that they say I resemble her [Crawford]. I wish, but I don’t think so, even in my best days,” says Gerber. Cindy Crawford has been married for decades to businessman Rande Gerber, father of her two children: Presley Gerber, now 27, and Kaia Gerber, 24. At another point in the interview, Kaia confesses the difficulties she has suffered due to her brother Presley’s addiction problems. “I felt like my brother needed help, and that’s why I never asked for any,” she adds. Presley Gerber published a video on his social media in December in which he encouraged people to seek help if they suffer from addiction problems. The actress celebrates her brother’s decision. “My family has always kept everything secret. Now I realize that trying to cover up something like this only makes the person feel ashamed of them,” explains Gerber.

The model has been in the spotlight this week alongside actor Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere, for the premiere of the Disney+ series The Shards, set in the 80s and based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho. Thirty-four years later, the series' actors have recreated the cover that Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere did for Vogue in November 1992. Crawford and Gere were one of Hollywood's most popular couples in the nineties. The pair lasted until 1995, when their divorce became official. Now, on the occasion of the series' premiere, Richard Gere celebrates his son's success. “I warned Homer that with that surname, people will judge you simply for being a Gere,” states the actor. After his relationship with Crawford, Gere married actress Carey Lowell in 2002 and they had three children; Homer Gere is the eldest.
