Which model married musician David Bowie in a private ceremony in Switzerland in 1992?

The story behind the answer

Iman married musician David Bowie in a private ceremony in Switzerland in 1992.

Their relationship attracted substantial media attention because both were internationally famous: Iman was one of the leading fashion models of her generation, while Bowie was a major figure in popular music and performance art. The couple later held a larger wedding celebration in Florence, Italy.

Iman and Bowie remained married until his death in 2016. They had one daughter together, Alexandria Zahra Jones, born in 2000. Iman also had a daughter, Zulekha Haywood, from her earlier marriage to basketball player Spencer Haywood.

A common mix-up is the year of the larger celebration, but the marriage ceremony itself took place in Switzerland in 1992. Iman continued her business and philanthropic work while maintaining a comparatively private family life.
