Model Iman and rocker David Bowie’s marriage demonstrated that true love really does exist outside of songs and movies. Per Biography, the superstar couple tied the knot in Switzerland in 1992 and also celebrated their union with a ceremony in Florence, Italy. Eight years later, they welcomed daughter Alexandria. The family spent over two decades together before tragedy struck when Bowie died from cancer in 2016, according to Biography. Even five years after her late husband’s death, Iman spoke out regarding how she’d struggled to move past her grief. “I still feel married,” the model confessed to People in November 2021, clarifying that she had no plans to remarry. “Someone a few years ago referred to David [Bowie] as my late husband and I said, ‘No, he’s not my late husband. He’s my husband,’” she added.
Perhaps part of their enduring love story was that Iman and Bowie both had long and fulfilling careers outside of each other. According to Harper’s Bazaar, Iman revolutionized the fashion industry with her work as a philanthropist and entrepreneur. As of this writing, she continues to head up Iman Cosmetics and Iman Global Chic, alongside advocating for the global charity Care, via Harper’s Bazaar. Among other things, rocker Bowie became immortalized in rock n’ roll lore for his refusal to adhere to the status quo — in fact, he’s perhaps best known for his ever-evolving style. But how did the two respective icons meet for the first time?
