How Iman and David Bowie conceived with the help of Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley shared the touching story of how she and daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 15, helped friend and fellow veteran supermodel Iman during her fertility struggles with husband David Bowie.

Christie Brinkley always felt a “sweet connection” to David Bowie and Iman. “It took two blondes to get me pregnant David Bowie and Christie Brinkley!”.

The post is a attractive picture of Bowie, his wife Iman and their then-infant daughter Alexandria. Bowie and Iman have walked Lexi through this battle in the past few months, so she was as prepared as she could be.

Brinkley, 61, also is mom to daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 30, with second ex-husband Billy Joel, and Jack, 20, with third ex-husband Richard Taubman in addition to Sailor, now 17, whose dad is Peter Cook.

The former supermodel’s close friend, former model Bethann Hardison, told People magazine that Iman is coping as well as can be expected.

Iman, 60, and the late rock legend welcomed their daughter, Alexandria, in 2000. Today my heart aches For Iman, and Alexandria for their untimely and unbearable loss.

“We were shooting a yoga class and I was lying on the floor and in the middle of the takes and they were playing “Ziggy Stardust” and I was crying”, she said. Two years later, Bowie and Iman tied the knot in a private ceremony in Switzerland.

Though the family has not disclosed details regarding the 69-year-old’s battle with cancer, director Ivo van Hove, who supposedly worked with David’s show Lazarus, says he died from liver cancer. We’re holding up. It comes in waves, you know.

Everyone we know is still reeling over David Bowie’s death from pancreatic cancer that metastasized to his liver this past Sunday, January 10. I felt he was not in a death struggle but a struggle for life – he wanted to live on. She said she married Robert, the man, not Bowie, the stage persona. “He’s [David Bowie] a great loss – not just a loss as an artist, but as a human”, she said.
