It's been more than 17 years since the late, great David Bowie and his wife, Iman, introduced
their daughter, Alexandria "Lexi" Jones, to the world.
Though the supermodel and iconic musician opened up about the new addition to their
family at the time, the couple rarely spoke to the press about their personal lives.
Little Lexi has since grown up quite a bit.
Although the teen seemingly remains as private as her father was, we've been able to piece
together some info about one of the world's most famous offspring.
Here's what we know.
Slowing Bowie down
In the wake of Bowie's death, many articles were written about how having a second child
taught him to embrace what the Express called his "most conventional role" of doting father.
Bowie was often seen taking Lexi to school and helping her with her homework.
Indeed, when a fan wrote "Imagine David Bowie turning up to your school" on Twitter, Iman
chimed in to say that he actually turns up as "David Jones, dad."
According to the Daily Mail, Bowie had said that having a second child put his workaholic
tendencies into perspective and given him the will to stay healthy.
Iman confirmed this slower-paced lifestyle in a 2002 interview with the Sunday Times,
saying,
"We're just ordinary people.
Our life is domestic."
Super stylish
In March 2017, Iman offered a brief glimpse into Lexi's world when she posted a photo
to Instagram with the caption:
"My Sunday boo!"
In the photo, Lexi appears to show off her edgy side with an epic nose ring that suggests
she may have inherited her father's wilder taste for fashion.
Granted, that nose ring is nothing compared to anything that Ziggy Stardust wore in his
heyday.
But still, he'd be proud!
Proudest mom
Once again proving that she's the proudest mom in Hollywood, Iman shared another photo
of Lexi on Instagram in August 2017 to celebrate her daughter's 17th birthday, writing,
"The Queen of my heart Lexi Jones at 17 years old!"
The following year, Iman upped her birthday celebration game by posting a whopping 18
photos of Lexi when she turned 18.
The first shot was a beautiful family photo of Iman, Bowie, and a then-days-old Lexi.
The series goes all the way through Lexi's toddler years and into young adulthood, ending
on a heartbreaking tribute to Lexi and her dad.
Normal teenage life
Thanks to an Instagram page that appears to belong to Lexi - though not yet verified as
of September 2018 - we've gotten a bit more info on her life.
For starters, she graduated high school!
Lexi captioned a graduation photo with:
"Never thought I'd be ever be graduating but the day has come and I'm so thankful for everyone
that has supported me thru this.
Congrats class of 2018 Wuta ride."
Her mom joined in the celebration as well, sharing a video montage of Lexi.
Of course, with high school graduation comes another rite of passage: prom.
Lexi hit the dance floor with a handsome chap, who has also popped up in several other photos
on her Instagram.
She captioned her prom photo,
"S--t prom but spent w the best ppl."
Tattoo tribute
Though she has not spoken publicly about the loss of her dad, Lexi shared a touching tribute
to him that she had permanently inked on her forearm.
The design is a floral-patterned crescent moon with the words "Daddy xxx," and "1947
- 2016" written inside it to represent the span of David Bowie's life.
Lexi's mom also got a remembrance tat, and shared her body art on Instagram with the
caption,
"You will always be part of us.
[January] 10th #BowieForever #EverAndEver."
Yahoo reported that Lexi's choice of a moon tattoo may be of particular significance,
thanks to a beautiful memory Bowie once shared with Conan O'Brien about Lexi as a baby.
"She looked up and saw it - it was the first time she had seen the moon that it's registered...'Moon!'
Anyone else sobbing right now?
Budding artist
Lexi has a dedicated Instagram page to showcase her artwork, and it's easy to see from the
work that she is the offspring of two fascinating and creative individuals.
As of September 2018, there are only a few pieces on the page, but she promises to sell
her work in the future.
There's no doubt that her avant-garde dad would have beamed with pride at his daughter's
artistic endeavors - her mom certainly does.
Iman has shared Lexi's work across her different social media pages.
A supportive mom and a business promoter?
What more could a girl ask for?
