Kaia Gerber is 25 in 2026 — born 3 September 2001 in Los Angeles. Her age, modelling rise, acting roles, family, and why sites still list her as 23 or 24.
Last updated: 6 November 2026 | By Nathan Cole
Kaia Gerber is 25 years old in 2026. She was born Kaia Jordan Gerber on 3 September 2001 in Los Angeles, California, and she turned 25 on 3 September 2026. That single sentence is the whole answer — but it is also the sentence half the internet gets wrong. Search her age today and you will still find pages calling her 23, and others calling her 24. Both were true once. Neither is true now.
Gerber has spent most of her 25 years in front of a camera. She modelled for Young Versace at ten, signed with IMG Models at thirteen, opened Alexander Wang’s show at sixteen, and won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards at seventeen. Then she changed lanes: American Horror Story in 2021, the film Bottoms in 2023, Palm Royale in 2024, and the lead role in FX’s The Shards in August 2026. This profile answers the age question properly — with the calculation, the sources, and the stale figures corrected — and then covers the life behind the number: the Malibu childhood, the famous parents, the runway years, the acting pivot, and a 2026 that brought both a career high and a family loss.
Every figure below is attributed to the outlet that reported it. Nothing here is invented, and nothing is copied from a competitor’s telling of the same life.

How This Age Was Verified
Kaia Gerber’s birth date is one of the best-documented facts in fashion: 3 September 2001, Los Angeles. Wikipedia, TV Insider, Next Biography and Creebhills all print the same date, and Celebsline’s profile — updated 30 September 2026 — lists her age as 25 in its fact table. The arithmetic is simple: 2026 minus 2001 is 25, and her 25th birthday on 3 September 2026 has already passed, so she is 25 for the rest of the year and turns 26 on 3 September 2027. The wrong figures still circulating come from pages written before that birthday and never updated: Readesh and Digestley still print 23, New York Style Guide still prints 24, and Tushstories printed 24 in early 2026 with the correct note that she would turn 25 on 3 September 2026 — a note its own headline age has now outlived. Celebsline even contradicts itself, printing 25 in its table while its body text still says she is “currently 20 years old”. This article uses the birth date, not any single site’s headline age, so the number stays right as the calendar moves.

How Old Is Kaia Gerber in 2026?
Kaia Gerber is 25 years old in November 2026. She was born on 3 September 2001, which makes her a Virgo, a member of the first generation of models born in the 2000s to reach the top of the industry, and — for the record — exactly 25 years and two months old as this article was last updated on 6 November 2026.
The confusion around her age is easy to explain. Gerber became famous so young that most of the profiles written about her are out of date the moment they are published. A page written in early 2026 correctly called her 24; a page written in 2024 correctly called her 23. Both are still ranking on Google, and neither has been corrected. The table below shows what the leading sources print now.
| Outlet | Age printed | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia | 25 (b. 3 Sep 2001) | Correct |
| Next Biography | 25 | Correct — updated October 2026 |
| TV Insider | 25 | Correct |
| Celebsline | 25 in table; 20 in body text | Contradicts itself — stale body copy |
| Tushstories | 24 | Stale — written before 3 Sep 2026 |
| New York Style Guide | 24 | Stale |
| Readesh / Digestley | 23 | Stale — two birthdays out of date |
There is no mystery here and no competing birth date. Every source agrees she was born on 3 September 2001. The only thing that changes is the arithmetic, and the arithmetic says 25.
Kaia Gerber’s Birthday: 3 September
Kaia Gerber’s birthday is 3 September. She celebrated her 25th birthday on 3 September 2026, two and a half weeks before her older brother Presley died on 20 September — a fact that makes the timing of that month hard to read without sadness. Her next birthday, her 26th, falls on 3 September 2027.
The date also fixes her place in fashion history. Born in September 2001, she was ten when she shot her first campaign, thirteen when she signed with a major agency, sixteen when she walked her first runway season, and seventeen when she won Model of the Year. By the time most models are getting their first agency meeting, she had already done a decade of the job.
Early Life: Growing Up in Malibu
Kaia Jordan Gerber was born in Los Angeles and raised mostly in Malibu, California, the younger of two children. Her childhood address explains a lot about her career: Malibu is where the fashion world and the film world overlap, and her parents sat at the centre of both. But the Malibu childhood was also, by her own later account, a sheltered one. She has described herself as the “easy one” in her family — the child who kept her head down while her older brother Presley struggled in ways the family only spoke about openly years later.
School and work ran side by side from the start. At ten she was already on a professional set for Young Versace. At fifteen she was acting in her first film. The pattern never really stopped: she learned the job by doing it, season after season, while still a teenager.
Family: Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and Presley
Kaia Gerber’s parents are supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, a former model who co-founded Casamigos tequila with George Clooney. Crawford, born 20 February 1966, was the defining supermodel of the 1990s — the Vogue covers, the Pepsi commercial, the mole — and her daughter inherited both the face and the career. Readers who want the money side of her mother’s story can read Cindy Crawford’s net worth profile on our sister site NetWorthCraft. Rande Gerber built his own fortune in nightlife and hospitality before the Casamigos sale made the family name in business as well as fashion.
Her older brother was Presley Walker Gerber, born 2 July 1999, a model in his own right who walked runways alongside his sister and shared her Omega ambassadorship in 2017. Presley died on 20 September 2026, aged 27, at Resolutions Living, a sober-living and rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California. He was pronounced dead at 9:45 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records reported by multiple outlets. No official cause of death had been confirmed as of late October 2026: the medical examiner deferred its finding pending toxicology results, and Santa Monica police said they were investigating the death as a suspected overdose. That police wording is a suspicion under investigation, not a medical finding, and this article will not present it as one.
The family stayed silent for nearly a month. Then, on 18 October 2026, Cindy Crawford posted a joint statement signed by herself, Rande and Kaia: “We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother. We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years.” The same day, Kaia posted her own long tribute, calling Presley “Prez”, her “best buddy” and protector, and writing that being his younger sister had always been her favourite thing about herself. She closed with words borrowed from physicist Richard Feynman’s famous love letter — a choice that said more about how she loved him than any headline could.
A month before his death, Kaia had spoken about Presley with rare openness in her September 2026 Vogue cover interview, calling him her “absolute teacher” and saying he had shown her “there’s only so much you can hide from the world”. She spoke there about his decade-long struggle with drug addiction. The interview reads very differently now than it did when it was published.
The Young Versace Start: Modelling at Ten
Kaia Gerber’s first modelling job came at age ten, when she starred in the Young Versace campaign for the brand’s junior line in 2012. It was not a favour arranged by her mother. Versace’s junior line needed a child model with camera presence, and Gerber — who had grown up around shoots — had it. The campaign is still the first line of her biography fourteen years later, because it set the pattern: she was never introduced to fashion; she was raised inside it.
The next few years were deliberately slow. She and Presley were photographed by Bruce Weber for CR Fashion Book’s autumn/winter 2015 issue in a story called “Kid Royalty”. She did not sign with a major agency until July 2015, when she joined IMG Models at thirteen. The wait mattered. By the time she was old enough to work properly, the industry already knew her name and her face.
IMG Models and the 2017 Runway Breakthrough
Gerber’s runway debut came in February 2017, when she walked for Raf Simons’ Calvin Klein Collection at sixteen. The same season she opened Alexander Wang’s spring/summer 2017 show — the slot that tells the industry a new model has arrived. She was sixteen years old, still in school, and walking for the two most-watched American designers of the moment.
Spring 2018 Fashion Week turned a strong debut into a coronation. In a single season she walked for Chanel, Prada, Fendi, Givenchy, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Coach, Max Mara, Loewe, Chloé, Sacai, Michael Kors, Moncler, JW Anderson, Longchamp, Tom Ford, Salvatore Ferragamo, Lanvin, Anna Sui, Moschino and Versace — walking alongside her mother at Versace. The list is worth printing in full, because it is the list that separates a famous daughter from a working top model: nobody walks that many houses in one season on a surname alone.
Model of the Year 2018 and the Big Four Vogue Covers
In December 2018, at seventeen, Gerber won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards — the industry’s own vote, and the award that confirmed the runway seasons had not been a one-year flash. The same year she had her first solo Vogue Paris cover in February, Vogue Italia in July, and Vogue Paris again in October. She had already shared Vogue Paris, Vogue Netherlands and Vogue India covers with her mother in 2016.
She also worked with Karl Lagerfeld that year, co-designing the KarlxKaia collection — her first collection — and starring in Chanel’s spring handbag campaign, photographed by Lagerfeld himself. She fronted Marc Jacobs’ Daisy fragrance campaign with Sofia Mechetner, starred in Versace, Calvin Klein and Saint Laurent campaigns, and became a YSL Beauty ambassador.
The Vogue set was completed in April 2020, when she covered American Vogue at eighteen — making her, by fashion-press accounts, the second-youngest model ever to hold all four major Vogue covers. She covered American Vogue twice more in 2021. The Daily Front Row had already named her Breakthrough Model of the Year in 2015; by 2020, the breakthrough was complete.
Campaigns and Brand Work: 2019 to 2026
After the award, the work settled into the rhythm of a top model. In 2019 she starred in Jimmy Choo’s spring/summer and fall/winter campaigns, the Stella McCartney spring campaign and the Fendi spring campaign. In 2020 she fronted a Louis Vuitton campaign shot by Craig McDean. In 2022 she opened the Prada fall/winter show and walked for Off-White, and Models.com moved her from its Top 50 ranking to its New Supers list — the industry’s way of saying a model has graduated from newcomer to fixture.
Her most recent campaign work arrived in November 2026, when JW Anderson unveiled its UGG collaboration campaign starring Gerber alongside musician Dev Hynes, photographed by Tanya and Zhenya Posternak in quiet domestic settings. The collection itself launched on 15 October 2026, with the campaign images published in early November. Outlets covering the launch noted that it was unclear whether the shoot took place before or after her brother’s death — the first major project to surface after it, and a sign that she was working again. The casting fits Jonathan Anderson’s habit of pairing talent from different fields: Gerber brings fashion and acting, Hynes brings music.
Acting Career: From Sister Cities to The Shards
Gerber’s acting career started at fifteen with Sister Cities in 2016, where she played the young version of Carolina. It stayed a side pursuit for five years while modelling came first. The shift began in 2021, when she entered Ryan Murphy’s world with American Horror Stories and American Horror Story: Double Feature — the first roles that asked audiences to judge her as an actress rather than as a model trying acting.
Her feature-film debut came in 2023 with Bottoms, the teen comedy that became a word-of-mouth hit. She followed it with Saturday Night in 2024, playing a role in Jason Reitman’s account of the first night of Saturday Night Live, and with Palm Royale on Apple TV+ the same year. In 2025 she appeared in Overcompensating on Prime Video and in the film Shell. The acting credits now outnumber the modelling seasons of the last three years — the balance of her career has tipped.
The Shards: Her Biggest Role Yet (2026)
The Shards, which premiered on FX and Hulu on 5 August 2026, is Gerber’s biggest acting job so far. The series adapts Bret Easton Ellis’s 2023 novel — a semi-autobiographical thriller set among privileged teenagers at the Buckley prep school in 1981 Los Angeles, stalked by a serial killer known as The Trawler. Gerber stars as Susan Reynolds, the glamorous class president and homecoming queen, and she is also one of the show’s producers.
The casting carries a neat piece of Hollywood symmetry: her co-star Homer Gere, who plays the mysterious new student Robert Mallory, is the son of Richard Gere — who was once married to Cindy Crawford. The two twenty-somethings were photographed filming together in October 2025, a full year before the show aired. The cast also includes Igby Rigney as Ellis himself, Graham Campbell, Hayes Warner, Wes Bentley and Evan Rachel Wood. Critics were divided on her performance before the premiere — some early coverage called it unconvincing — but the role itself is the point: a ten-episode lead in a Ryan Murphy series, at 25, is the kind of part that decides whether a model becomes an actress.
Kaia Gerber in 2026: A Career High and a Family Loss
No single year of Gerber’s life holds more contrast than 2026. She turned 25 in September, covered Vogue that same month, led a major television series in August, and fronted a JW Anderson campaign in November. She also lost her brother in September, two and a half weeks after her birthday, and spent the autumn grieving in public for the first time.
The timeline reads like this. In August, The Shards premiered and she gave interviews about a character she described with open nostalgia for a decade she never lived through. In September, the Vogue cover interview ran, with her most candid words yet about her brother and her family. On 3 September she turned 25. On 20 September Presley died. On 18 October she and her parents broke their silence with tributes. In early November the JW Anderson x UGG campaign appeared. She is 25, at the top of two professions, and newly the only child of her parents — a fact one family friend put bluntly to the press: “Suddenly she’s an only child.” Her mother knows the shape of that grief firsthand: Cindy Crawford was ten when her own four-year-old brother Jeffrey died of leukaemia.
Personal Life: Lewis Pullman and Life After Austin Butler
Gerber dated Elvis star Austin Butler for just over three years, from late 2021 until their split was confirmed in January 2025. The pair were a fixture on red carpets from the Met Gala to the Oscars. Within weeks of the split becoming public, she was linked to actor Lewis Pullman — first spotted together at Pullman’s 32nd birthday party at the Los Angeles restaurant Salazar in January 2025.
Pullman, born 29 January 1993, is 33 in 2026 and the son of actor Bill Pullman. He played Bob in Top Gun: Maverick, Calvin Evans in Lessons in Chemistry, and joined the Marvel universe as the Sentry in Thunderbolts in 2025. The couple went public holding hands at the Venice Film Festival on 1 September 2025, spent a holiday in Mexico with her parents in January 2026, and attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party together in March 2026. On a podcast with her friend Jake Shane, Gerber described the relationship as “healing” and “healthy”. Both keep the relationship mostly private, which — after three years of red-carpet scrutiny with Butler — looks like a deliberate choice.
How Tall Is Kaia Gerber?
Kaia Gerber is 5 feet 9½ inches tall (1.77 metres), according to Wikipedia. Many profiles round the figure down to 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm), which is why the two numbers both circulate. The half inch matters in modelling: at 5 ft 9½ in she clears the height bar for every major runway, and she shares her mother’s exact height — Crawford is also listed at 5 ft 9½ in. For comparison, her peers on our site are close: Kendall Jenner is 5 ft 10 in, Gigi Hadid is 5 ft 10 in, and Bella Hadid is 5 ft 9 in.
Kaia Gerber Net Worth 2026: What the Trackers Say
Kaia Gerber’s net worth is the least settled number attached to her name. The trackers disagree by a factor of five, and none of them shows its workings. Celebsline puts her at about $3 million. Blingingbeach and Readesh print $5 million. Tushstories estimated $10 million in January 2026. Next Biography prints $15 million. This article publishes the range — $3–15 million — and labels it low-confidence, because that is the honest reading of the evidence.
| Outlet | Figure | Date / note |
|---|---|---|
| Celebsline | ~$3 million | Lowest figure; no workings shown |
| Blingingbeach / Readesh | $5 million | 2025–Feb 2026 profiles |
| Tushstories | $10 million | January 2026 estimate |
| Next Biography | $15 million | 2026 profile; highest figure |
The $5–10 million middle is the most-cited cluster, and it is the figure a reader should carry away with the heaviest caveat: Gerber has never disclosed her finances, her modelling fees and acting pay are private, and her family’s wealth is not her wealth. The modelling contracts, the Vogue covers, the brand campaigns and the television roles all pay real money, and fifteen years of them add up — but no tracker can see her bank statements, so no single number here should be quoted as fact.
Kaia Gerber vs Her Peers: Who Is the Youngest?
Gerber belongs to the youngest generation of working supermodels, and the age gap with her peers is wider than it looks. Kendall Jenner was born 3 November 1995 and turned 31 in November 2026. Gigi Hadid was born 23 April 1995 and is 31. Bella Hadid was born 9 October 1996 and turned 30 in October 2026. Gerber, born in September 2001, is five to six years younger than all three — and she reached Model of the Year at seventeen, an age at which Jenner was still building her television career and the Hadids were still in their first runway seasons.
| Model | Born | Age in Nov 2026 | Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kaia Gerber | 3 Sep 2001 | 25 | 5 ft 9½ in |
| Kendall Jenner | 3 Nov 1995 | 31 | 5 ft 10 in |
| Gigi Hadid | 23 Apr 1995 | 31 | 5 ft 10 in |
| Bella Hadid | 9 Oct 1996 | 30 | 5 ft 9 in |
The gap cuts both ways. Gerber started younger, so she has more runway years behind her at 25 than Jenner had at the same age — but she also has more years ahead of her. The acting pivot is the clearest sign she knows it: the models who last past thirty are the ones who build a second career while the first is still paying.
