SHE’S A CUTIE ~ BOWIE ON IMAN

They were together for 25 years and had a cosmic connection. Still, Iman once said she never fell in love with David Bowie. “I fell in love with David Jones,” the Somali-American supermodel told the Guardian in 2014, referring to the given name of the English rock legend, “Bowie is just a persona,” she explained. “He’s a singer, an entertainer. David Jones is a man I met.” Indeed, they managed to live – and treasure – a normal life together, despite the megafame that came with being the ultimate global trailblazers in their respective fields.“We are very normal,” Iman said, explaining that she cooked dinner for her husband every night, that she took Lexi to music and dance lessons, and that Bowie and Lexi would play music together all the time. Of his entrepreneur wife, Bowie told PEOPLE at the time: “She’s uncanny at keeping the business at her office and the woman at home. But she’s a mom 24/7.”
