Lexi Wood, the ex-girlfriend of Presley Gerber — son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber — and a model herself, has issued a touching statement following news of his sudden death. She expressed her condolences, calling Presley an incredibly resilient person who deeply loved life and tried to help those around him, according to infohub.kz.
The son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber died at the age of 27 at a rehabilitation center in Santa Monica. Police are investigating the incident as a possible overdose and do not see any signs of foul play.
Lexi Wood, who briefly dated Presley in late 2022, posted a series of archival photos and videos on social media. She emphasized that despite their breakup, a strong friendship had always remained the foundation of their relationship.
"It's hard to find the words to describe what it's like to lose someone who was such a significant part of my life for so many years," Wood wrote. "Everyone who loved Presley and whom he loved knows that he was one of the kindest, most open, loving, and brave people. He loved so deeply and sincerely, was incredibly romantic and attentive."
She also noted the resilience of Gerber Jr., who had long openly struggled with mental health issues and addiction. According to Wood, Presley sincerely sought to use his personal experience to support others in similar situations.
The family of the deceased has asked for privacy during this difficult time. The official cause of death will be announced after all necessary medical examinations are completed.
