Iman took to Instagram to share a picture of Alexandria 'Lexi' Zahra Jones on Monday (15.08.16) and wrote a sweet birthday message.

She wrote: "Happy sweet 16th birthday to my baby girl Lexi! Stay sweet "Classy with a hint of sassy" #selfportrait #LexiLove (sic)."

David passed away in January at the age of 69, following a secret cancer battle.

A picture collage posted on David's Instagram account, showed David and Iman with Lexi after she was born and an image of David as an "ambitious 16-year-old".

It was accompanied by a message which read: "HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY TO LEXI. 'Fill your heart with love today, Don't play the game of time...' We're sure you will all want to join us in wishing many happy returns of the day to Alexandria Zahra Jones on her 16th birthday.

"Lexi, as she's known to her friends and family, is pictured here with her parents as a new-born baby back in 2000. The main pic is of her father in 1963, an ambitious 16-year-old himself with a particularly bright future ahead of him. Happy Birthday Lexi, here's wishing you love 'n stuff from everybody here. #HappyBirthdayLexi #Lexi16 #LexiLove (sic)."

Meanwhile, last month David's son Duncan Jones and his wife Rodene Ronquillo welcomed a baby boy.

The director took to Twitter to announce the birth of Stenton David Jones, who was born exactly six months after the legendary musician passed away.

Duncan tweeted: "Stenton David Jones. Born July 10th, exactly six months after his grandad made room for him. Love you both so (sic)."

Duncan is the eldest child of David - whose real name is David Jones - and his mother is the musician's former wife Angie Bowie.
