Kaia Gerber is emerging from a quiet, painful few weeks. Sources tell the Daily Mail that after the death of her brother Presley on September 20th, she went into total shock, lost her appetite, and stayed home with her boyfriend, actor Lewis Pullman. Family members grew worried as the reality set in that she would never see her brother again. Presley Gerber was 27.
The bond between Kaia and Presley was famously tight.“Kaia and Presley were insanely close,”one source said.“I don’t know how she’s going to go on without him.”Through the darkest stretch, she leaned on her mom Cindy Crawford, her dad Rande Gerber, George Clooney, and close friend Jake Shane. Sunday brought a small step forward: her first public outing since, leaving an LA gym with her mom’s encouragement.
Up next is a return to work on the thriller“Bulls,”where she stars opposite Pullman. It’s a lot to carry back onto a set, which is why the focus should stay on the people around her, not the headlines. Have you ever had to return to work while grieving? How did you handle it?
