Iman Abdulmajid, the widow of late rocker David Bowie, has admitted she will never remarry after her husband’s tragic 2016 death. The supermodel — who is known simply as Iman — told PEOPLE she has no intention of marrying someone else after confessing she doesn’t like to refer to the English singer as her “late husband”.The rock star and the supermodel had been married for 24 years. Bowie passed away in 2016 at the age of 69. When the 66-year-old’s daughter Alexandria Jones, 21, asked Iman about it, she recalled: “I said ‘No, I will not’. I still feel married.” 

The two had met on a blind date back in 1990. “David said it was love at first sight,” the 66-year-old shared. “It took me a few months, but I got there.” Iman added that Bowie “properly wooed me,” including sending flowers to her hotel room while she was in Paris for a fashion show and meeting her at the airport when she returned. “Early on, we were walking down the street, and my shoelace came undone, and he got on his knees to tie it for me, and I thought he’s the one,” she said. The chemistry was off the charts right from the start. “David was beyond handsome,” she said. “He oozed charisma.” 

The pair eventually married in Florence, Italy, on June 6, 1992. Speaking with Hello! magazine in 2000, Bowie said, “My attraction to her was immediate and all-encompassing. I couldn’t sleep for the excitement of our first date. That she would be my wife, in my head, was a done deal. I’d never gone after anything in my life with such passion in all my life. I just knew she was the one.” 

Five years after his death from cancer in 2016, Iman has released a fragrance called Love Memoir as a tribute to the couple’s “epic romance”.

Iman says the idea for perfume came during the first few years after her loss and admits she was still “processing” it.

“There are days that are harder than others but the memories are not all sad of why the person isn’t here. The memories are now of how great it was,” she said.

“I definitely feel his presence, especially when I look out over the glorious sunsets at our home because David loves sunsets.”

“So in that way he is ever present.”

Bowie died after an 18-month battle with liver cancer at the couple’s home in New York City.
