Iman revealed she always has a reminder of her late husband, music icon David Bowie, close by.
The supermodel opened up about the necklace she was wearing, a thin gold chain with a nameplate that says “David,” during an interview with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on “Today.”
She explained a mutual friend of hers and Bowie’s made the necklace for her after Bowie’s death in 2016, “and I’ve been wearing it ever since.”
“It’s part of me, I don’t take it off even when I’m showering,” she added.

On what would have been the “Heroes” singer’s 76th birthday this year, Iman posted a tribute to her husband on Instagram.
One of the quotes she shared read, “Your absence is like the sky, spread over everything,” and she included the hashtag, #BowieForever.”
Another photo was a black-and-white throwback of Bowie, with his birthday, Jan. 8, and the “Bowie Forever” hashtag.

And on Valentine’s Day, she shared several posts about her “forever Valentine,” including one that simply had the quote, “I still fall for you every day.”
On “Today,” the Somalia-born supermodel spoke about the posts, saying, “Memories, they are the ones who will sustain us and his memory is all around me all the time.”
“I always say grief does not have [an] expiration date,” Iman continued. “It comes, it goes. It changes to other things.”
“But memories. If you really hold on to the memories and remember the beautiful things instead of running away from them. [Instead of] ‘Oh it’s so sad he’s not here…’ but wasn’t it great that he was here, and I was with him.”
