Next to the photo, she wrote: ‘Kisses on the forehead are kisses made for the soul. #EternalLove #BowieForever ‘.
Lexi is a start-up artist who lives in California and is selling her works at Depop for up to $ 250.

She is the daughter of hitmaker Space Oddity and the Somali model, who met in 1990 at a dinner party.
After her birth, it was said that she helped her father put his workaholic attitude “in perspective” and give him the urge to stay healthy after his first heart attack.
David also had a son, Duncan Jones, from a previous marriage, while Imran shares his daughter Zulekha Haywood with an old love.
It has been five years since David passed away shockingly at the age of 69 on January 10, 2016, after an 18-month battle with cancer.
Iman married the English rocker in a romantic ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland, in April 1992, which was later formalized at a wedding held in Florence in June.

She previously revealed that she did not want Lexi to follow her as a model or become the superstar daughter of a famous couple, like many of her colleagues.
In a 2018 interview with Net A Porter, Iman, 64, said: ‘Each agency, each designer, called me to say, “If she wants, we would love for her to serve as a model for us.”
‘I said,’ No, she doesn’t. ‘I know why they wanted her to be a model – it’s because she is the daughter of David Bowie.
“She says I’m overprotective. But I told her, it can all wait, it’s not going anywhere.
‘Have a private life while you can, because one day it will soon become public, so enjoy it.’

Iman and Lexi remain very close, and in May, Lexi shared an emotional post after revealing that she had not seen her mother in six months.
Lexi was trapped in Los Angeles during the coronavirus pandemic, while her supermodel mother was at her New York home.
In a Mother’s Day post, Bowie’s youngest son appealed to others to follow the blocking guidelines so that she could see her family again soon.
‘Everyone, please stay indoors, I haven’t seen my mom in 6 months because we live on opposite shores and it’s very difficult to leave NY right now, but I’m a kid and I miss her so much, so please be spoiled -pleasures this time so it doesn’t take 2 damn years to see you again, thanks! ‘ she wrote.
The two were later reunited in New York.
