She is the child of the Space Oddity hitmaker and the Somali fashion model, who first met at a dinner party in 1990.

David also had a son, Duncan Jones, from a previous marriage, while Imran shares her daughter Zulekha Haywood with a former love.
It’s been five years since David died shockingly on January 10, 2016 at the age of 69 after an 18-month battle with cancer.

Earlier, she revealed how she does not want Lexi to follow her as a model or become a superstar child of a famous couple, like many of her peers.
In a 2018 interview with Net A Porter, Iman, 64, said: ‘Every agency, every designer, called me to say,’ If she wants to, we want her to be a model for us. ‘
“I said, ‘No, she does not. ‘I know why they wanted her to model – it’s because she’s David Bowie’s daughter.
“She says I’m too protective. But I told her, it can all wait, it’s not going anywhere.
“Keep a private life while you can, because soon it’s going to be public, so enjoy it.”

Iman and Lexi stay very close and in May Lexi shared an emotional message after revealing that she had not seen her mother for six months.
Lexi got stuck during the coronavirus pandemic in Los Angeles while her supermodel mom was in her home in New York.
In a Mother’s Day message, Bowie’s youngest child appealed to others to follow the guidelines for closure so she could see her family again soon.
“Everyone, please stay inside. I have not seen my mother for 6 months because we live on the opposite coast and it is very difficult to leave it now. so it does not take 2 f *** ing years to see her again thanks! she wrote.
The two were later reunited in New York.
