In speaking with
Today
alongside her supermodel mom and brother Presley, the 23-year-old model said that Crawford, 59, was anything but a “stage mom.”
“You are so not a stage mom,” Kaia said in the interview, which aired Thursday, May 8.
“Absolutely not,” concurred Presley, who is 25 years old.
Kaia went on, “I sort of hope you would be a tad more involved, yet she isn’t a stage mom whatsoever since she’s been through her share of life experiences and has never experienced them secondhand through us.”
The star additionally mentioned that regardless of the profession Crawford has selected, “I would have supported him in that choice.”
Kaia revealed, ‘She has always been my greatest source of inspiration and my hero.’
For her part, Crawford said that her family has always been her No. 1 priority.
The best part of being a parent is realizing what truly matters right away. It becomes clear that family will always come first,” she explained, then looked at her boy. “I remember when you were asked in kindergarten—there was this question: ‘What does your mom do for work?’ You replied to your teacher that I don’t have a job outside, which made me realize, ‘Wow, that shows I’m really excelling’ since you hardly notice my time away from home.

Before the family teamed up with Vuori for the clothing brand’s Spring 2025 campaign, Kaia shared with her mother that she frequently draws style inspiration from her.
“I’m probably more inspired by you, than you are by me,” she said. “Her style has been pretty dialed in for a while.”
She continued, “The nice thing about like looking quite similar to a parent is if I want to know if a hair or makeup look will look good on me, I will look up pictures of my mom — because if it looks good on her, most of the time, I can pull it off as well.”
I value Kaia’s input, but I definitely don’t want to come across as one of those mothers who try way too hard,” Cindy said. “Competing with my 23-year-old daughter is not something I’d ever consider.
