Iman will never remarry

Iman insists she’ll "never remarry", following the death of her husband David Bowie.
The 63-year-old supermodel married the ‘Space Oddity’ hitmaker – with whom she has 18-year-old daughter Alexandria – in 1992 and was still wed to him when he tragically passed away after battling liver cancer in January 2016.
Now, the beauty says she still refers to David as her "husband", and when people try to correct her and call him her "late husband", she insists his death doesn’t matter because she’ll always be married to him.
She said: "I will never remarry. I mentioned my husband the other day with someone, and they said to me: ‘You mean your late husband?’ I said, ‘No, he is always going to be my husband.’"
And despite being set in her ways, Iman admits she does get "lonely" at times, but still isn’t ready to move on from the music legend.
She added: "I do feel very lonely. But do I want a relationship? I can’t say never, but no, not now."
Living in the public eye for over four decades has brought Iman a lot of unwanted attention, and she says even now paparazzi still pretend to have sympathy for her loss.
She said: "People take pictures of me in the street, and say [touching my arm]: ‘I am so sorry for your loss.’ I’m like, don’t touch me. You just took pictures of me, how can you be sorry? […] I get the fans’ grief, but it’s not the same. They have lost someone they look up to; we have lost a husband and a father. And sometimes, I don’t want people to know how sad I am. People say to me: Oh, you’re so strong. I’m not strong – I am just trying to keep it together."
Iman is now focused on shielding her and the ‘Heroes’ musician’s daughter from modelling agencies, as she believes they’re only interested in her because of her famous parents.
Speaking to PorterEdit, she said: "Every agency, every designer, called me to say: ‘If she wants to, we’d love for her to model for us.’ I said: ‘No, she doesn’t.’ I know why they wanted to her to model – it’s because she is David Bowie’s daughter."
