Prior to his passing, Iman took part in OWN’s Oprah: Where Are They Now? series and said the secret to a lasting marriage was timing.

“You have to be at the right time in your life that you’re ready for an everlasting relationship, that it becomes first, a priority in life.

“If your career is important to you, don’t get married and have children, because something will give.”

She added, “’I know as women we want to be able to have it all, but we can’t have it all at the same time.

“So make your priority of what you want at that time. And sometimes you don’t even have to get married. Why do you have to get married?”

She also joked, “People say, ‘But do you give him fashion tips?’ What are you, crazy? We’re talking about David Bowie. He is fashion.”
