Kaia Gerber Spent Weeks In A Grief 'Cocoon' Following The Death Of Presley Gerber
If you’ve been keeping up with the lives of famous supermodel Cindy Crawford and her family, then you’ve likely seen headlines about the tragic passing of her son, Presley Gerber. The Bottoms star's older brother died on September 20th, at the age of 27. He allegedly struggled with addiction and passed away at a rehabilitation facility. His death was a devastating loss for the Gerber family, including Kaia and their parents, Cindy and her father, businessman Rande Gerber.
The family has generally kept the more personal aspects of their grief private, but a source recently came forward to report on Kaia's emotional state and how she's navigating the difficult time.
According to a new report from Page Six, Kaia had reportedly been keeping to herself as she dealt with the emotional impact of her loss. The report described her as being in a "grief cocoon" for weeks before she began emerging from that period of isolation.
"She had a little cocoon there with friends stopping by," the source claimed, noting that in the weeks following her brother’s death, she "stayed at home."
Kaia Reportedly Lost Her Appetite Amid Her Brother's Loss
The report also claimed that the young model had experienced a loss of appetite during this difficult period. According to the source, her eating habits had become a concern for people close to her, who were worried about how she was coping.
"She tried her best to hold it together, but she was not eating much; she had no appetite, which is hard for her as she has said in the past she suffers from 'disordered eating,'" the source continued. "She was in total shock, so it was a big emotional process just to come to the realization that she would never see her brother again. Everyone in the family is worried about her."
The report comes not long after fans raised concerns about Kaia’s slender figure during recent events and speculated about her health. Some also revisited her comments about frequently being compared to her mother, including the pressure that can come with those comparisons. Despite that, the above insider maintains that her mom has been encouraging her to find a sense of healing and normalcy again.
"Her mom has encouraged her to keep a routine going to help deal with grief," the source noted.
Upon reading the news, fans expressed support for Kaia and her family on social media.
"I'm so sorry Kaia," wrote a supportive fan on Instagram. "I really hope you take care now these days."
"That poor girl," responded another. "This family will never be the same. It’s so soon. Heartbreaking. They were so close."
"Just big hugs and all the things we can do to support this family and any other who are going through this," a fan added. "Absolutely heartbreaking."
