Iman also revealed their careers and fame did not impact their marriage. In fact, she attested that their lives \"could not have been more regular.\"

\"It was a really everyday marriage,\" she explained. \"He was a very funny, warm gentleman – you know, everyone talks about him being futuristic, but no, he was not, he liked more than anything to wear a three-piece suit. It was a beautiful, ordinary life and that was what was great about it.\"

\"We could live in New York, pick up our daughter from school, walk everywhere,\" Iman said before lamenting, \"I wish we had had more years.\"

The two wed in 1992 and remained married until his death in 2016. Bowie died on Jan. 10, two days after his 69th birthday, when he lost his battle with liver cancer.

The two share a daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, who is 20.
