Kaia Gerber has shed light on her formative years growing up as the daughter of famous supermodel Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber.
The 24-year-old model opened up about her 'pretty isolated' and 'normal' childhood in the Harper’s Bazaar February 2026 cover story.
'I always went to public school. I did theater. I did every community play. I was in choir. I did singing recitals. I danced,' Gerber described.
When the family traveled to New York, she said she always asked to see a Broadway show. 'I saw Wicked eight times. I had all the lyrics to Rent memorized by the time I was nine years old,' she added.
However, in a rare mention of her brother, the Palm Royale star admitted that her childhood memories were a lot different from what Presley remembers growing up in the exclusive enclave of Malibu, California.
'It’s so interesting to articulate your own childhood, because I have a brother who’s two years older, and our memories are completely contradictory, which is really fascinating and I think has taught me so much about how multiple realities can exist at once,' said Gerber, who enjoyed a love-up holiday with beau Lewis Pullman earlier this month at her parents' Cabo home.

Gerber’s revelation comes on the heels of Presley’s candid confession about his 'scary' mental health issues.
In an emotional black and white video shared to Instagram on December 1, the 26-year-old model opened up about the medication he’s taking to ease his struggles with 'night terrors' and 'panic attacks.'
'I feel like honesty is the best policy,' he began from the inside of a sauna, before sharing that he is 'currently' on 1mg of Buprenorphine two times a day - which is used to treat both pain and opioid use disorders.
Presley also shared that the 'benzos have been fluctuating up and down depending on what's been going on in my life.'
Benzos - known as Benzodiazepines - help 'slow down activity in your brain and nervous system' to treat 'anxiety and related mental health conditions,' according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Presley explained that he also takes a small dose of Xanax at night or when his 'panic attacks are really, really bad.'
He then said he takes Valium 'a little bit in the morning - I don't know if it's a little bit or a lot, who f***ing knows anymore.'
The model added in the clip that 'doctors say a lot of different things so it's kind of scary.'

He added: 'But hopefully between my research and their research and the world and God, we can finally figure this out.'
Meanwhile, cover girl Gerber also revealed to Harper’s Bazaar how she was surrounded by nude photographs of her famous mother while growing up in their house.
'They were, to me, artistic. It wasn’t vulgar; it wasn’t objectification,' she asserted, adding that it was 'a gift to grow up in a house that was without shame for the female body.'
Gerber also shared that she switched from public school to homeschooling at age 15 when her fledgling modeling career began to take off.
