Along with the photo, she wrote: “Kisses on the forehead are kisses for the soul. #EternalLove #BowieForever ‘.

Daughter: Alexandria Zahra Jones, known as Lexi, 20, took to Instagram and shared a lovely photo with herself and her childhood father.
She is the child of the successful producer Space Oddity and the Somali fashion model, who first met in 1990 at a dinner party.
After the birth, she was said to have helped her father put his “working” attitude into perspective and to give him the will to stay healthy after his first heart attack.
David had another son, Duncan Jones, from a previous marriage, while Imran shares her daughter Zulekha Haywood with a former love.
Five years have passed since David died in shock at the age of 69, on January 10, 2016, after an 18-month battle with cancer.
Iman married the English rocker in a romantic ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland, in April 1992, which was later formalized in a wedding hosted in Florence in June.

She previously revealed that she did not want Lexi to follow her in modeling or become a superstar child of a famous couple, like many of her colleagues.
In a 2018 interview with Net A Porter, Iman, 64, said: “Every agency, every designer, called me to say, ‘If she wants, we’d like her to shape us.’ .
I said, “No, she didn’t.” I know why they wanted to model – because she’s David Bowie’s daughter.
“She says they are overprotective. But I told him, everything can wait, it’s not going anywhere.
“Have as much private life as you can, because one day it will be public, so enjoy it.”
Happy Memories: Lexi was born in 2000 to David and Iman, who remained together until her shocking cancer deaths in 2016.
Iman and Lexi remain very close and in May, Lexi shared an emotional post after revealing that she had not seen her mother for six months.
Lexi was stranded in Los Angeles during the coronavirus pandemic, while her supermodel mother was at her home in New York.
In a Mother’s Day post, Bowie’s youngest child called on others to follow the locking instructions so they could see their family again soon.
“Please stay inside. I haven’t seen my mother in 6 months because we live on the opposite shores and it’s very difficult to leave right now, but I’m a child and I miss her, so please shit party this time so it doesn’t take 2 black years to see her again thanks! ‘ she wrote.
The two later met in New York.
