Kaia Gerber might be a professional catwalk model for the likes of Chanel and Alexander Wang, but it’s her voice that’s given us all the feels today.
On Monday, the 18-year-old model shared a video of herself on Instagram playing the guitar with her father, Rande Gerber, and singing The Eagles' hit song ‘Take It Easy’.
The performance was delivered in honour of Rande Gerber’s 58th birthday.

During the rendition, the duo play their guitars and harmonise in what can only be described as pure melodic bliss.
‘Happy birthday @randegerber forever my amateur band mate and best friend,’ the teenager captioned the video.
In the clip, the star wears a pair of fluffy slippers, leggings and an oversized sweater.
The runway star recently opened up to ELLE UK about how she’s adapting to life during lockdown as a result of the nationwide coronavirus pandemic.
‘I do need to get my nails done - that’s something that’s been bothering me', she said of her beauty regime. ‘I’ve got gels on and they’re quite grown out. But there are worse things going on right now!'
Discussing how she’s staying motivated during lockdown, Gerber said that she’ll try to get ready at least once a week.
‘I do my hair, I do my make-up, I put on jeans which is a crazy thing to do, unbelievable in quarantine,’ she told us. ‘Even just putting on a dress for like two hours makes you feel better.’
The Californian beauty also admitted that she’s tempted to give herself a haircut after she (and Bella Hadid) have both been inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s famous fringe-cutting video.
'I’ve been trying to stay strong and not cut my hair because a couple of months ago I had it cut into more of a men’s haircut, which I'm now in the process of growing out so it looks kind of like a mullet, but I figure there’s never going to be a good time for it to have an awkward phase so it may as well be now!’ she said.
'I'm absolutely tempted to cut a fringe. When I saw that Audrey Hepburn Instagram video... I’ve been trying to avoid picking up the scissors at all costs because I know myself and it will happen.’
While she hasn’t whipped out the hair scissors yet, Gerber said she has given herself highlights during quarantine.
She continued: ‘I knew it was going to happen, it was that or bangs so… But I don’t recommend doing it yourself, I will say that! I don’t know how damaged my hair is now, I’m assuming pretty damaged because I’d never dyed my hair before, but I figured no one’s seeing me right now so why not!’
