David Bowie, a groundbreaking icon in music, fashion, and art, constantly reinvented himself throughout his career with personas like Ziggy Stardust. Offstage, he was a dedicated father to his children, Duncan and Alexandria Jones.
Duncan, initially known as Zowie, distanced himself from his father’s fame in his early years. However, his love for film, cultivated through childhood experiences of making stop-motion animations with Bowie, eventually led him to a successful career as a filmmaker.
While Bowie envisioned a musical career for Duncan, his son chose his own path, gaining critical acclaim with films like Moon and Source Code. Duncan’s marriage to Rodene Ronquillo, marked by mutual support and resilience, mirrored the dedication Bowie showed to his own family.
Alexandria, born later in Bowie’s life, was always surrounded by the constant presence of her father’s fame. However, Bowie and his wife Iman worked hard to ensure a grounded upbringing for their daughter, Lexi. As she grew, Lexi found her own creative expression through art and music, with her works often shared on social media, reflecting a deep connection to her father and his lasting influence.
Both Duncan and Lexi honor Bowie’s legacy in their own ways. Duncan’s success in filmmaking echoes the creativity and innovation Bowie embodied, while Lexi’s artistic pursuits channel his unique spirit. Through their achievements, both children continue to celebrate and share the enduring influence of their legendary father.
