Iman recently opened up about her experience of coping with grief after the death of her husband, music legend David Bowie. In an interview, the supermodel shared that she initially prioritized helping their daughter, Lexi, navigate her emotions, often sidelining her own grief. Bowie passed away in 2016 at 69 after battling liver cancer.
Reflecting on her emotional journey, Iman explained, “At the beginning, I had a teenager… so I didn’t pay attention to my own grief.” She acknowledged that her sorrow surfaced later, but she emphasized the importance of cherishing joyful memories in his honor, stating that she didn’t want every thought of him to be tearful.
Iman, 71, now uses her social media to celebrate both her late husband and their life together, posting tributes on significant occasions and maintaining a sense of connection. Despite Bowie’s passing, she feels she is still married to him in spirit, saying, “Through my memory, my love lives.”
In a recent tribute, she also got a tattoo commemorating their bond and the release of Bowie’s last album, Blackstar, further emphasizing her ongoing love and remembrance.
