But behind the curated photos and picture-perfect brand deals, sources say her personal life has turned into a silent heartbreak.

At the center of it all? Her 25-year-old son, Presley Gerber, whose increasingly erratic behavior has become a growing concern not only for his family but for fans who once believed he was destined to follow in his mother’s iconic footsteps.

Presley, the firstborn child of Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, seemed to have it all — looks, lineage, and a fast track to modeling stardom.

He walked for Dolce & Gabbana, starred in Calvin Klein campaigns, and graced the pages of top fashion magazines before he was even 21.

But the cracks in his public image began showing years ago, and now they’ve exploded into full view.

It started with a 2020 arrest for DUI in Beverly Hills — a red flag that many dismissed as a “young mistake.

” But since then, Presley’s public presence has taken a darker turn.

He’s posted cryptic and concerning messages on Instagram, including one video where he said, “You don’t know what I’m going through.

No one does.

” More recently, he’s appeared gaunt and disoriented in paparazzi photos, and insiders claim he’s been bouncing between L.

A.party circles, rarely checking in with family.

Now, in an emotional turn that has stunned those closest to her, Cindy Crawford has reportedly broken down in tears during a private family meeting, admitting she feels “helpless” and “responsible” for her son’s public collapse.

According to one insider, Cindy told friends, “I gave him everything — love, stability, opportunity.

But I couldn’t protect him from this world.

Witnesses say the Crawford-Gerber household has been in a state of “quiet crisis” for months.

Though Presley’s younger sister Kaia Gerber has been thriving in her modeling and acting career, even she is said to be deeply worried about her brother’s state of mind.

“Kaia tries to keep in touch, but it’s hard when he won’t listen,” a source close to the family told Page Six.

“He’s pushing everyone away, including the people who care most.

Adding fuel to the fire, Presley’s recent interview on a little-known podcast raised eyebrows when he openly criticized the modeling industry and hinted at feeling “trapped” by his family’s fame.

“It’s not what people think.

Being famous doesn’t save you from s***,” he said.

He also alluded to “dark thoughts” and feeling misunderstood by those around him.

Fans flooded the comment sections with concern — and Cindy reportedly watched the clip with tears in her eyes.

“She’s terrified he’s heading down a dangerous path,” said one longtime friend of Crawford.

“She’s been through the pressure of fame, but seeing it eat away at your child is a whole different kind of pain.

She doesn’t know how to reach him anymore.

Cindy has not addressed the situation publicly, maintaining her image as poised and professional.

But insiders say behind closed doors, she’s been reaching out to therapists, interventionists, and close family friends for guidance on how to help Presley before things spiral even further.

“She’s at her wit’s end.

Every time she sees a new headline or photo, it’s like a punch to the gut,” the source added.

To make matters more complicated, Presley has allegedly rejected multiple offers from his parents to get help — both medically and emotionally.

“He feels like he has to figure it out on his own,” one friend said.

“He’s tired of being seen as the ‘celebrity kid who messed up.

’ But the truth is, he’s struggling more than ever.

The situation has also reignited the public debate about the dark side of Hollywood’s second-generation fame.

While Presley’s story is unique, it echoes a familiar pattern seen in the children of celebrities who face relentless pressure, identity crises, and the psychological burden of being born into the spotlight.

As for what’s next, the Crawford-Gerber family is reportedly regrouping.

Rande Gerber has taken a more active role behind the scenes, trying to reconnect with Presley one-on-one.

“They’re trying everything,” says the source.

“No one’s given up on him — especially not Cindy.

But it’s breaking her heart.

For now, all the public sees is silence.

Cindy continues to post professional updates, lifestyle content, and inspirational messages — but those close to her say she’s carrying a private grief that’s becoming impossible to hide.

“She’s still that strong, composed woman we all know,” the source said, “but behind closed doors, she’s just a mom watching her son slip further away.

In the world of fashion, beauty is everything — but behind the lens, pain doesn’t pose.

And right now, Cindy Crawford’s greatest heartbreak has nothing to do with the runway… and everything to do with the child she’d give anything to save.
