Early life
Kaia Jordan Gerber was born on September 3, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. She is the younger of two children born to the supermodel Cindy Crawford and the businessman Rande Gerber. She has an elder brother, Presley.
Her mother, who is of German, English, French, and Danish ancestry, is a Congregationalist Christian and her father is an American Jew of Algerian Jewish descent. 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." Through her mother, she is a descendant of English Puritan settler Thomas Trowbridge, who helped establish the Congregational Church in New Haven.
