This week will mark four years since the legendary singer David Bowie passed away, but his supermodel wife Iman is still grieving for him.
Iman, who was married to Bowie from 1992 until his death in 2016, told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she still thinks of the late musician all the time and that she will “never” marry again.
“David is in our hearts and minds on a daily basis, for all of us,” she admitted. “You know, this was my true love. My daughter once asked me if I would ever marry again and I said, ‘never.'”
Bowie was 69 years-old when he passed away in 2016 after a battle with liver cancer, but Iman still feels his presence all around her.
“He’s hiding in plain sight,” she said. “His fans are still around, his music is still relevant. And on the day of his passing, I went on a hike and a bluebird flew in front of me. A bluebird, above all things!”
Reflecting on her marriage to Bowie, Iman said they were a “normal” couple despite their celebrity statuses.
“It was a really everyday marriage,” the 65 year-old model said. “He was a very funny, warm gentleman – you know, everyone talks about him being futuristic, but no, he was not, he liked more than anything to wear a three-piece suit. It was a beautiful, ordinary life and that was what was great about it. We could live in New York, pick up our daughter from school, walk everywhere. … You know, I wish we had had more years.”
Bowie and Iman share a daughter, Alexandria “Lexi” Zahra Jones, who was born in 2000. Bowie was also a father to a son from a previous marriage, according to Fox News.
These days, Iman is staying as busy as ever, and like all of us, she’s looking forward to life post-COVID.
“Don’t count me out yet!” she said with a laugh. “I am a Somali woman by nature. That means we are nomads. We’re in constant movement. When the world comes back to normal and I start traveling, I’ll think about what’s next.” I, for one, can’t wait.
