From a Notorious Alter Ego to a Private Love Life: This is David Bowie

The two tried to keep their relationship as private as possible. The way they saw it, their marriage was a relationship to be shared with each other – not for a public eager to hear intimate details. Aside from the rare public occasions, the couple kept the press and their home life separate.

They were hardly ever photographed together. One of the only times they were photographed together as a couple was in a Vogue magazine shoot which took place in their New York apartment after the birth of their daughter, Alexandria (nicknamed Lexi) in 2000. When it came to parenting, Iman said Bowie was “measured, sensible” but also “fun and relaxed.” She, on the other hand, is the disciplinarian.
