\u201cThe family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,\u201d a statement on behalf of his family said.<\/p>\n
Supermodel Crawford married businessman Rande Gerber in 1998, and they have two children. <\/p>\n
Gerber and his younger sister, Kaia, both became professional models, featuring in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein, among others.<\/p>\n
At 18, Gerber featured alongside his mother in a 2018 ad to re-create her iconic 1992 Super Bowl<\/a> commercial for Pepsi. <\/p>\n He and his sister have spoken about their mother giving them professional space. <\/p>\n \u201cShe has never lived vicariously through us,\u201d Kaia Gerber said in a family interview with \u201cTODAY\u201d<\/a> last year. <\/p>\n \u201cYou are so not a stage mom,\u201d she added, of her mother.<\/p>\n Gerber had posted online frequently about his struggles with depression and addiction. He instigated a program called \u201cMental Health Mondays\u201d on his Instagram account, where he spoke openly about his struggles. He said<\/a> in doing so he had hoped to \u201cspark real conversations about the stuff most people hide.\u201d<\/p>\n In November, he wrote <\/a>that he \u201chad to step back and take care of my own mental health for a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with Vogue magazine<\/a> last month, his sister spoke about his struggles.<\/p>\n \u201cMy parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn\u2019t share anything \u2014 and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, \u2018I\u2019m gonna be very human for everyone,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you\u2019re ashamed of them.\u201d <\/p>\n In July, for her son\u2019s 27th birthday, Crawford posted two images online featuring<\/a> Gerber as a child and as a young teenager, writing: \u201cI\u2019m so proud of the man you\u2019ve become, but I\u2019ll always see you as my little boy!
