Cindy Crawford’s 22-year-old daughter Kaia Gerber is causing a stir with her stunning appearance lately. Like her mother, the thriving model recently posed braless for a V Magazine shoot appearing in sultry pieces, including a black leather jacket with a see-through, thin-strapped top. Kaia shared photos from the session before the outlet’s spring issue on her Instagram, and her followers could not get enough of her gorgeous looks.
Kaia tagged the fashion brand Celine and photographer Mario Sorrenti, known for working with nude models, in her post. In no time, Kaia received nearly 60,000 likes and many comments from her followers and her mother’s fans. “PERFECT PERFECT QUEEN ANGEL,” someone gushed, while many others dropped heart emojis.

Kaia proved the apple does not fall far from the tree with her effortless pose reminiscent of her trail-blazing mom.

This is not the first time the young model has made the headlines; in 2022, Kaia and Elvis actor Austin Butler went public about their relationship following rumors that they started dating in December 2021 after being spotted on their way to the Los Angeles airport. A few months later, as a couple, they graced the ensuing W magazine’s annual pre-Oscars Best Performances party. They also debuted the 2022 Met Gala together, and although walking the red carpet individually, they eventually posed for photos atop the Metropolitan Museum of Arts staircase. Kaia has been supportive of her boyfriend through his wins, such as his first Golden Globe award for his role as Elvis Presley in the late rocker’s biopic, and she even appeared subtly in his shoot for V Magazine’s VMAN 49’s fall-winter issue in 2022.
Known to have been romantically involved with high-profile men like Jacob Elordi and Pete Davidson, Kaia has been a regular face at A-list events and fashion shows, including the recent Valentino Womenswear Spring/Summer show she opened for Paris Fashion Week. Her 32-year-old beau was in the front row as he watched her strut by for the designer brand. The couple is still very much together, as Austin could not help gushing about Kaia while walking the red carpet during the London premiere of Dune: Part Two. “It was legendary. It was amazing. I loved getting to see that. What an exciting cover. I loved it,” he told Entertainment Tonight about his girlfriend’s feature on this month’s cover of British Vogue.
During a chat with WSJ Magazine in February, he also emphasized the importance of privacy about his love life, stressing that he prefers to keep the details under wraps. “Honestly, I feel like so few things in my life are private, and that is one of the things that I try to keep as sacred as possible,” he said. A source revealed that they both have “packed schedules” but spend quality time together. “They’ve both been so busy with their careers that the time has flown by. Although Austin and Kaia are both in the public eye, they’re really down to earth and have a very secure relationship,” the insider noted.
Kaia Gerber and ‘Priscilla’ actor Jacob Elordi
Kaia previously dated Elordi, who has often been compared to Austin for their portrayal of Elvis in Elvis and Priscilla, respectively. Their relationship ended in late 2021, and they reportedly began dating a year prior after getting spotted hand-in-hand on a dinner date in Malibu. They were sighted in New York City, with an eyewitness describing them as “happy.”
“Their fingers were interlocked, and they seemed very comfortable together. At one point they weren’t holding hands and Kaia grabbed his and they went on their merry way,” the onlooker said. On 2020’s Halloween, they confirmed their relationship with an Instagram photo featuring them dressed up as Elvis and Priscilla. Kaia, who was 19 then, wore a skin-tight purple top with coordinating pants and touched it up with a retro black eyeliner look, while Elordi wore a blue suit, a pair of aviator glasses, and fake sideburns. Hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu said they were “such a beautiful couple anyway” and loved working with them. “It was more of a ’70s Presley look instead of the ’60s vibe,” Charlie explained at the time.
Shortly after Elordi’s chat with Men’s Health for their January/February 2021 cover story, where he praised Kaia for teaching him “how to handle” the spotlight, his young model was seen with Austin after a yoga class, sparking a breakup rumor. “She handles herself wonderfully publicly. I’ve learned so much from her about how to handle it, how to deal with it, and just kind of be whatever about it, you know?” Elordi gushed. Elordi was also spotted getting coffee with YouTuber Olivia Jade Giannulli in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake area, which led to speculations of them “casually dating” and splitting months later.
An insider claimed Kaia and Elordi’s “amicable” breakup was due to “conflicting schedules.” However, “there are no hard feelings, and they’re still on speaking terms. They weren’t spending much time together. It seemed like they were going backward instead of forward, and that’s why it wasn’t working. It has been a long time coming,” the source explained. Elordi and Jade are, however, back together and were seen vacationing in Italy last summer.
Who is Kaia Gerber’s dad?
Kaia was born to Cindy Crawford and business mogul Rande Gerber about three years after their intimate Bahamas wedding in 1998. The couple have remained together and share two children, including Kaia’s older brother Presley. “We really like being together, we have a good time together. It takes a little bit of work, but if you’re friends first, it makes marriage so much easier. We both know what our priorities are, and we work really hard,” Rande once said of his marriage.
The 61-year-old has been supportive of his daughter’s modeling career, which she began at 10. At 14, she got her first Vogue spread and has since worked with reputable brands and outlets. Kaia, who has also starred in a few movies, has a fantastic relationship with her dad, however, she is closer to her mother. “I do feel like we’ve established a really strong bond and friendship outside of just a mother-daughter dynamic, which has been so fun for me over the last few years,” the American Horror Story actress told PEOPLE at the Planet Omega Fashion Panel and Cocktail Party last November. “She is a cool mom, and she still embarrasses me constantly. But it’s good! It brings me back down to earth. I probably embarrass her constantly as well.”
