Iman shared a heartwarming new tribute to "forever" with David Bowie that got her fans talking.

The supermodel shared a sweet carousel showcasing her "last weeks of summer." 

One photo featured an illustration of a heart with "David and Iman," as well as the infinity symbol and David's popular thunderbolt logo, intertwined inside. 

The duo were married for over two decades before David sadly passed away at the age of 69, due to liver cancer in 2016. The pair welcomed Alexandria Zahra Jones into the world together.

More fans chimed in, with one writing: "Beautiful and lovely gesture." A second person added: "Always gorgeous and that chalk sketch…" with the infinity symbol emoji.

A third follower commented in part: "The chalk art was such a sweet thing for a fan to do!"

Another image in the set featured an illustration of Iman and David and another fan commented: "Love and love the charcoal sketch of you and your wonderful man," and Iman revealed: "By me," with a heart emoji.

Iman opens up about David

Iman has been open over the years about her deep love for the artist. As a daily tribute, the model proudly wears a necklace that features David's name on it.

She revealed on Today: "It's part of me. I don't take if off, even when I'm showering."

The star tends to often think back to fond memories that the two made during their thriving marriage, adding: "[Memories] are the ones who will sustain us and his memory is all around me all the time."

She explained that grief comes in waves over time, and she continued: "I always say grief does not have [an] expiration date. It comes, it goes. It changes to other things."

Iman chooses to focus on the precious moments they shared when she misses him, explaining that she prioritizes "beautiful things, instead of running away from them."

The star gushed: "Oh, it's so sad he's not — but wasn't it great that he was here? And that I was with him?"

Iman doesn't refer to David as her "late" husband

During another vulnerable interview on the Today Show Radio on SiriusXM, Iman lovingly shared: "I think of him all the time. People say 'your late husband' and I say, 'Don't call my husband late. He's not my late husband. He's my husband, and he'll always be.'"

She passionately concluded: "If there is an afterlife, I'd like to see my husband again. That's the one I want."
