It’s been more than year since David Bowie passed away after a battle with liver cancer. Since then, his widow, legendary model Iman, has kept a low profile. But someone connected to both Bowie and Iman who has always stayed out of the public eye is their daughter Lexi. She is the couple’s only child together, born in August 2000. (Iman has daughter Zulekha from her marriage to Spencer Haywood and Bowie has a son, director Duncan Jones, from his marriage to model Angie Jones.) Iman shared an image of her daughter on Instagram yesterday, a rare look at the 16-year-old:
But it wasn’t a first. Iman shared a picture of the teen to celebrate her birthday last August. As you can see, like her mother and father, Lexi (born Alexandria Zahra Jones) has quite the striking look. We think she’s a good mix of both her parents:
When speaking on his family while Lexi was still just a baby in 2002, Bowie was over the moon in happiness.
“I’m frighteningly happy,” he told the New York Daily News. “I don’t see ever wanting to change things in my personal life. Iman and I are very happy, and we have the most fabulous baby.”
Bowie was often seen with Lexi in paparazzi photos, taking a big step away from the spotlight and the rockstar lifestyle to pick her up from school and give her as calm and as normal of a childhood as possible. To this day, Iman continues to ensure that Lexi has just that, while occasionally giving the world a peek at the teen.
