"No matter where the photo came from, it's an enlightenment - we've always known Crawford was beautiful, but seeing her like this only makes us love her more."
And fans seemed to approve - they flocked to social media to celebrate 48-year-old Crawford's beauty, flaws and all.
One Twitter user wrote, "She looks even more beautiful than ever", while another tweeted, "I hope I look like this at 48 after 2 kids!".
Another simply cheered, "Yes!!! My respect for her is on another level."
Crawford has yet to comment on the leaked snap, but she previously revealed the importance of self-acceptance and self-confidence, saying, "I really think - at any age - it's learning to be comfortable in your own skin. If women would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves. What makes you the most attractive is self-confidence. That's what people see."
Her husband, Rande Gerber, shared his own bikini photo of Crawford on Saturday to celebrate Valentine's Day.
In the sweet, timely Instagram snap, he wrote, "She got flowers and I got her. Happy Valentines Day".
It is not clear when the sexy picture of the stunner was taken, but her skin looked flawless as she reclined on a sunbed.
