Early life

[edit]

Kaia Jordan Gerber was born on September 3, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. She is the younger of two children born to supermodel Cindy Crawford[6] and businessman Rande Gerber.[7][8] She has an older brother, Presley.[citation needed]

Her mother, who is of German, English, French, and Danish ancestry, is a Congregationalist Christian[9][10] and her father is an American Jew. In a 2018 interview, she stated "my dad is Jewish and my mom is Christian so we grew up doing both; we call it Chrismukah. I love learning about both of those sides of my life. We'd do Passover, Passover dinner and Yom Kippur. I love learning all of that, and learning the cooking."[11][12][13] Through her mother, she is a descendant of English Puritan settler Thomas Trowbridge, who helped establish the Congregational Church in New Haven.[14]
