Cindy Crawford is 60 years old as of September 21, 2026, and she turns 61 on February 20, 2027. Below you will find her exact birthdate, her family, her career, her money, and the latest news, including a death rumor that no credible source has backed up.
Background
Cindy Crawford is an American model, actress, TV host and businesswoman. She became famous in the 1980s and was one of the first people the world called a “supermodel,” a word for a model so well known that people recognize her by name, not just by face.
Her story starts in a cornfield. In 1982, while she was working a summer job detasseling corn near DeKalb, Illinois, a local news photographer spotted her and took her picture. A year later she entered a national modeling contest run by the Elite agency, and she reached the finals. That got her an agent and her first paid jobs.
By the 1990s she was everywhere. She hosted the MTV fashion show House of Style from 1989 to 1995, and in January 1990 she shared the cover of British Vogue with Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Tatjana Patitz. Fans also know her for the beauty mark above her lip.
People search for her age because she still works, still looks polished, and has spent forty years in public view. Many readers grew up with her face and want to know how the years add up.
Latest Update
Cindy Crawford is alive, working and in the news for normal reasons. A New Beauty report published about a week before this date describes her New York Fashion Week schedule: morning TV appearances, a stop at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit, and a panel for Upneeq, a prescription eye drop for adults with drooping eyelids, where she serves as spokesperson. She talked about the 1990s and what gives her “power at 60.”
Her 60th birthday is the other reason her age keeps trending. She turned 60 on February 20, 2026, and posted photos with the caption “60 is the new 60! Grateful for all of it.” Linda Evangelista and Donatella Versace both left birthday messages. Earlier in 2026 she also appeared on the January cover of Vogue Mexico and accepted the Red Carpet Watch of the Year award for Omega at the WWD Style Awards, marking her long run as a brand ambassador for the watchmaker.
Rumor check (unconfirmed): A page on a celebrity hoax-tracking site says a “death” story about Cindy Crawford spread in early September 2026, and that her representatives called it false. We could not find any report of her death from a major news outlet, and the recent appearances above point the other way. We also could not independently confirm the rep statement. Treat the death claim as an unconfirmed rumor, and note that the same kind of fake post has been aimed at many celebrities over the years.What is confirmed: her age (60), her birthday (February 20, 1966), her marriage to Rande Gerber, and her recent public appearances.
Full Profile
Family and Early Life
Cynthia Ann Crawford grew up in DeKalb, a small city west of Chicago. Wikipedia lists three sisters, Cathy, Chris and Danielle, and one brother, Jeffery, who died of childhood leukemia at age 3. Some smaller sites give a different number of sisters, so treat that detail with care. Her brother’s death shaped her later charity work, and she has raised money for leukemia research. She has said her family has been in the United States for generations, with mostly German, English and French roots.
Career Path
After winning a place with Elite, she moved into big fashion work and walked for houses such as Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein. She posed for Playboy in 1988, hosted House of Style, and starred in the 1995 film Fair Game. She also appeared in 54 (1998) and the TV series Cougar Town (2009).
The business side matters just as much. In 2005 she launched the skincare line Meaningful Beauty and a furniture line, Cindy Crawford Home. In 2015 she released a photo book called Becoming to mark turning 50.
Age
Cindy Crawford is 60. Her birthday falls on February 20, which makes her a Pisces. There are 152 days between September 21, 2026 and her 61st birthday on February 20, 2027.
Religion
Unconfirmed. We did not find a statement from Crawford or a reliable source naming her religion, so we will not guess.
Spouse/Partner
She has been married to Rande Gerber since May 29, 1998, which makes 28 years this year. Gerber is a former model and a hospitality businessman who co-founded Casamigos Tequila with George Clooney and Mike Meldman. Before that, Crawford was married to actor Richard Gere from 1991 to 1995. The couple have two children, Presley Walker Gerber and Kaia Jordan Gerber. Kaia was born on September 3, 2001, is 25, and works as a model and actress.
Net Worth
The most repeated estimate is about $400 million, but that number is a combined figure for Crawford and Gerber, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The same site says her fortune on her own would easily top $200 million. No official filing confirms either number, so read them as estimates.
A big piece of the household wealth comes from Casamigos, which the drinks company Diageo bought in 2017 for $700 million upfront, with up to $300 million more depending on performance. Crawford’s own income comes from Meaningful Beauty, furniture licensing, brand deals such as Omega, and investments.
Parents
Her father is Daniel Kenneth Crawford, an electrician. Her mother is Jennifer Sue Crawford-Moluf, born Jennifer Sue Walker, who worked as a bank teller.
Height
Crawford is 5 feet 9½ inches tall (1.77 meters). Her daughter Kaia is listed at the same height.
Education
She graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984 as class valedictorian, meaning she had the top grades in her class. She then received a scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, but modeling work took over her life.
Hometown/State of Origin
DeKalb, Illinois, United States.

Wrap-Up
The short answer is that Cindy Crawford is 60, born February 20, 1966, and her age is one of the few things about her that every source agrees on. What makes the number interesting is what she has done with it. She turned a summer job in a cornfield into a career that has lasted four decades, and she now appears as a working model, a spokesperson and a founder.
The money story is worth reading with a careful eye. The $400 million headline belongs to a couple, not to her alone, and a large slice comes from a tequila brand her husband helped build. Her own share comes from a skincare line, furniture licensing and long brand partnerships. When you see a net worth number online, ask whose money it is and who did the counting.
The September death rumor is a good reminder to check before sharing. A shocking headline, a page with thousands of “likes,” and no report from a major outlet is a pattern, not proof. As of September 21, 2026, the verified picture is a 60-year-old woman who spent New York Fashion Week doing interviews, panels and events. If something changes, this page should be updated only once a trusted source confirms it.
