Cindy Crawford is worried: How Kaia Gerber is fighting her way back after Presley's death

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Cindy Crawford is worried: How Kaia Gerber is fighting her way back after Presley's death.

About three weeks after the death of her brother Presley Gerber (†27), Kaia Gerber (25) is appearing in public for the first time since the loss. On Sunday, the model was spotted after a workout in Los Angeles – dressed entirely in black and wearing sunglasses, according to Promiflash.

What looks like a small step has in reality taken weeks. The fact that Kaia is going outside at all is interpreted by observers as a sign that the initial shock is slowly fading. The family's concern remains great, however, because the death of her brother has torn a "huge hole" in her life, according to Promiflash.

The first appearance in black

The image that photographers captured on Sunday in Los Angeles says more than it seems at first glance: Kaia Gerber, wrapped in black, sunglasses as a protective shield, on her way out of a fitness studio. It is the first time since Presley's death that she has appeared in public – and at the same time a deliberate break with her isolation.

Appearances are part of Kaia's job, but this time it's not one. It is the attempt to give herself structure again – a signal to the outside world and to herself.

Cindy Crawford's push toward routine

Behind the first step is, according to Promiflash, above all Cindy Crawford (60). As the article reports, citing a family insider to the Daily Mail, Crawford actively encouraged her daughter to "bring a fixed routine back into her day." Crawford knows her daughter well enough to understand that structure helps in grief – and is concerned enough to push.

Career on ice – and the shock runs deep

Kaia Gerber has paused her modeling career for the time being after Presley's death. The report says she has "completely withdrawn" to process the loss. How long the break will last is unclear.

She was completely in shock, so it was a major emotional process just to grasp that she would never see her brother again

The quote from the Gerbers' inner circle sums up what the family is currently going through. Presley was Kaia's brother, his death a "huge hole," as the report continues. The coming weeks will show how Kaia Gerber finds her way back into her daily life and possibly onto the runway.
