  • Alexandria Jones, the Late David Bowie’s Daughter: Teen Lives Private, but Normal Life

    Alexandria Jones is, by most accounts, a normal teenager. Living a fairly private life, the teen is now mourning the loss of her dad, David Bowie. Bowie died on Sunday, following an 18-month battle with cancer that most people had no idea he was fighting.

    The daughter of the late Bowie and his wife, model and fashion designer Iman, Alexandria Jones was a surprise for the couple.

    Iman had tried several rounds of IVF to get pregnant, with no success. Heavy reports she and David Bowie were considering adoption, when she became pregnant with Alexandria. Iman already had a daughter, more than 20 years Alexandria Jones’s senior–Zulekha Haywood–from her marriage to Spencer Haywood. David Bowie had one child, a son Duncan Jones, with ex-wife Angela Bowie.

    During David Bowie’s last tour in 2013, Iman made it quite clear that she and Alexandria wouldn’t be joining him.

    “We have a 12-year-old in school,” she told the Daily Mail, “so we are stuck, we can’t travel. Our schedule is around her, so I don’t know. We’ll have to go visit him, but we won’t be on tour with him because she’s in school.”

    David Bowie and Iman were dubbed “regular parents” in their raising of Alexandria Jones, despite the fact that both earned worldwide notoriety.

    Iman will now raise Alexandria as a single mom.

    While the world mourns the passing of David Bowie, probably none are grieving as horribly as Alexandria Jones–a teen who will now grow into a woman sans the earthly guidance of her beloved father.

  • Angela Bowie to Remain on “Celebrity Big Brother” Despite David Bowie’s Death

    Angela Bowie, the ex-wife of the late David Bowie, is a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, leaving many wondering–in light of David Bowie’s passing from cancer on Sunday–if she would remain on the show.

    Producers for the show say Angela Bowie plans to stay put.

    Contestants on the British show live together in a house, and are cut off from the outside world. Publicists for the show say Angela Bowie was informed of David Bowie’s death by her reps, off-camera, and “has taken the decision to continue in the program.”

    “The decision to remain in the house is entirely her choice, and she has been given the option to leave at any time if she changes her mind,” the show said in a statement. “Appropriate support will be available to Angie at any time if needed.”

    Angela Bowie–nee Mary Angela Barnett–married David Bowie in 1970, divorcing ten years later. They had one son together, producer Duncan Jones.

    It’s uncertain what–if anything–Angela Bowie knew of David Bowie’s illness. The world is in shock at his untimely passing.
