Five years after his death, the mother-of-two has opened up about their relationship in an interview with People magazine and revealed why she will never marry again.

Iman, who has created her first fragrance, Love Memoir, called their romance, "epic," and said she knew him as David Jones, not the rockstar everyone else recognized him as.
While it's been a process to grieve, she says she draws strength from all the years she was lucky enough to have him in her life.

"There are days that are harder than others but the memories are not all sad of why the person isn't here. The memories are now of how great it was.
"Sometimes I have to remind myself that I had 26 years. So I have that to sustain me."
Iman also feels comforted living in the home they shared for so many years.
"I definitely feel his presence, especially when I look out over the glorious sunsets at our home because David loves sunsets," she said. "So in that way he is ever present. Through my memory, my love lives."
