Okay, you’ve made it this far, so you deserve the good stuff. First: Kaia is a huge horror movie nerd. She binges scary films with her best friend, actress Margaret Qualley. They once watched The Shining on repeat for an entire weekend. That’s dedication—or a cry for help. Second: She has a tattoo of a tiny butterfly on her finger, which she got on a whim at 18. Her mom Cindy was “not thrilled,” which is parent-speak for “grounded for a week.”
Also, Kaia is a secret bookworm. She abandoned her modeling career for a minute to try screenwriting. She even wrote a short film called Worm—yes, about a worm. It’s weird, it’s artsy, and it’s super Kaia. The film hasn’t won any awards, but it did break the internet for five minutes. Lastly, she’s terrified of flying. A model who travels the world but hates planes? That’s like a chef who hates knives. But hey, she powers through with Xanax and a lot of deep breathing.
So, What Don’t We Know?
The truth? We probably know too much about Kaia Gerber. She’s rich, talented, and looks like she was designed in a lab. But the things we don’t know—like her love of Crocs, her passion for bad horror movies, and her terrible fear of turbulence—make her human. So next time you see her on a magazine cover, remember: she’s just a 22-year-old who also forgets to return her library books. Probably.
