Influencer Isabella Jones will forever remember her relationship with the late Presley Gerber after the model’s unexpected death last month.
“My sweet Presley, I will miss you for the rest of my life,” Jones, 27, wrote via Instagram on Friday, October 9, sharing a carousel of throwback photos with Gerber.
Few details about Gerber and Jones’ relationship have been publicly revealed. They were last spotted together at the Cloud23 launch party in Los Angeles in October 2024. (Us has reached out to a rep for Jones for further comment.)
Us confirmed on September 20 that Gerber had died at the age of 27.
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” a spokesperson for Presley’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, told Us in a statement.
In addition to his parents, Presley is survived by his sister, Kaia Gerber.
A cause of death has not been publicly shared pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation over suspicions of an apparent overdose. Presley and his family had previously been candid about his substance abuse struggles.
“When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” Kaia, 25, told Vogue in August of her brother’s addiction. “I think that’s also why I started to self-identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help. Because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing.”
Presley’s family, who reportedly had his remains cremated, has since received support from their famous circle of friends.
“I don’t think we’re even in the position of even being able to talk about it. Quite honestly, it’s one of the most devastating things that’s happened to our family,” George Clooney, Rande’s close friend and Casamigos business partner, told Entertainment Tonight on Friday, breaking his silence on Presley’s death. “And their family is just, as you can imagine, it’s the worst thing that could happen to the family.”
Summer House alum Lexi Wood, who previously dated Presley in 2022, also shared her condolences.
“It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose someone who was such a meaningful part of my life for so many years,” Wood, 28, wrote via Instagram last month. “Through every chapter and every version of our relationship, friendship was always at the core of it. Everyone who loved Presley and was loved by him knows he was one of the kindest, most open, loving and courageous people. He loved so deeply, so purely, was incredibly romantic and thoughtful.”
