Iman posts emotional message to David Bowie on their 25th wedding anniversary
They would have been married for 25 years today 💔
Iman has posted a heartbreaking tribute to her late husband, David Bowie, on the 25th anniversary of their marriage.
The 61-year-old supermodel posted a romantic photo of herself and Bowie, who tragically passed away after a battle with liver cancer in January 2016.
The fashion model and actress married Bowie just two years after they met at a mutual friend's birthday party, back in 1990.
Their mutual friend, Teddy, who styled Bowie and Iman separately, decided that the pair needed to meet; so he invited them both to his birthday party with the aim of setting them up. Speaking to the Sunday People, Teddy said:
"The minute she walked in all the attention went to her, she just claimed the room.
"She had a big smile and her and David looked at each other and it was love at first sight, you could feel the electricity, something went off.
"They spent the night talking to each other like they had known each other forever. They were looking at each other like, ‘Now what, shall we skip dessert and go home?’"
Since her late husband's passing, Iman has posted a number of loving tributes to Bowie, including one on Valentine's Day earlier this year, which read:
"My forever Valentine #BowieForever #ValentinesDay".
Iman always said that the secret to her long-lasting marriage with Bowie was admitting that it was all about realising and knowing the couple were very different to their public image at home:
"We both understand the difference between the person and the persona. When we are home, we are just Iman and David."
