Cindy Crawford's Relationship With Her Model Daughter Is So Close, They "Text Every Day"

Updated on 4/7/2018 at 1:30 PM

When it comes to Cindy Crawford and her two kids, the apples didn't fall far from the tree. Presley and Kaia Gerber have made names for themselves as It models and have even starred in a Calvin Klein campaign together. Of course, this dynamic duo just happen to be blessed with incredible genes, and as the kids of Cindy, well, that opens a lot of doors. In the May issue of Town & Country, Cindy reflected on what it's like raising two young models and acknowledged that she has an especially close relationship with her daughter.

The two communicate every day (here's a gentle reminder to text your own mom!). Cindy's also focused on raising her children with moral values and having them feel empowered to make their own choices. In fact, when it got to talking about the #MeToo movement in the industry, which Cindy said she was "lucky" she doesn't have a story about, she showed off her protective motherly side. The supermodel said she wants her kids to stand up for themselves, and if anyone ever tries to take advantage of Presley or Kaia, Cindy "will come after" them. We trust her on her words. Read on to see what else Cindy said in her interview, then check out Kaia's journey as a model.

Cindy's Relationship With Her Daughter, Kaia

"We talk every day, at least, and text. If she doesn't text me back within 15 minutes, I do one in all caps and a lot of exclamation points. Just respond, OK? Or else I'm going to track you through your Uber account."

Her Approach to Raising Kids With Moral Values

"I didn't find that hard to do at all, actually. Kids don't always listen, but they are always watching what you do. If you're polite to people, they learn to be polite. If you make family time a priority, they don't even question spending time together . . . You lead by example."

Cindy on Raising 2 Young Models

"I'm really lucky because I don't have a #MeToo story. As far as being a mother of two young people going into fashion, of course I worry. But let's be honest. My kids are blessed in that business because they aren't coming in as unknowns. People will know I will come after them if they mess with my kids."

Cindy's Perspective on Nude Photo Shoots

"I've done nude photos, lots. The only ones I regretted were the ones that I kind of got talked into. I don't want my children to ever look back and think, 'Gosh, I wish I hadn't done that.' I want to empower them to just say, 'I'm outta here.'"
