Few rock legacies are as monumental and enigmatic as David Bowie's, yet the true inheritors of his creative spirit are his two children, Duncan Jones and Alexandria "Lexi" Zahra Jones. As of late 2025, both of the Starman's offspring are forging distinct, successful paths in the creative world, maintaining a delicate balance between honoring their father’s memory and carving out their own identities in film and music, respectively. The world continues to watch, curious to see how the children of one of music's greatest icons will shape their own destinies.

The late musician, who passed away in 2016, left behind a vast cultural and financial estate. His children, born nearly 30 years apart, represent two different eras of Bowie's life—one from his tumultuous early years with his first wife, and the other from his serene and deeply private marriage to supermodel Iman. Their current endeavors reveal a powerful, ongoing connection to the Bowie lineage, proving that the 'Thin White Duke's' artistic fire still burns brightly through his family.

Duncan Jones: The Sci-Fi Director's Major 2025 Projects

Duncan Jones, the elder of Bowie's children, has firmly established himself as a critically acclaimed filmmaker, particularly within the science fiction genre. He consciously stepped away from the "Zowie Bowie" moniker early in his career to build a reputation based purely on his talent, which he achieved with the minimalist masterpiece Moon.

The year 2025 marks a significant period for Jones as he returns to his sci-fi roots with two highly anticipated projects. His biggest undertaking is the live-action science fiction film Rogue Trooper, based on the popular 2000 AD Comics character.

Principal photography for the film is set to wrap up in 2025, signaling a major return to the director’s chair after several years.

This project is being viewed by critics and fans alike as a potential career-definer, following his successful early works like Source Code.

In addition to his film work, Jones has also been deeply involved in the graphic novel space. He is currently developing Madi: Once Upon A Time In The Future, a graphic novel that expands the universe established in his earlier films, Moon and Mute.

This commitment to building a cohesive, interconnected sci-fi universe—the 'Mooniverse'—demonstrates a methodical, long-term creative vision that echoes his father’s own dedication to developing complex personas and narratives.

Alexandria 'Lexi' Jones: From Artist to Musician in a Major Debut

Alexandria "Lexi" Zahra Jones, the daughter of David Bowie and the iconic supermodel Iman, has lived a largely private life, shielded from the relentless media glare that followed her father. In 2025, however, she took a major step into the public eye, embracing her artistic lineage in a bold new way.

While Lexi is known for her visual art, which she often shares on social media, the biggest news of the year is her official debut as a musician. On April 2, 2025, Lexi released her first full-length album, titled Xandri.

This move confirms her transition into a singer-songwriter, a path that inevitably invites comparisons to her legendary father.

Lexi has been open about the pressure, insisting she is "not a copy" and is "not trying to fill his shoes," aiming instead to build her own authentic creative identity.

Her work is described as having a haunting, introspective quality, suggesting a unique artistic voice distinct from the glam rock and experimental sounds of her father.

Her mother, Iman, has been her staunchest supporter, frequently sharing glimpses of Lexi's artwork and celebrating her daughter’s independence and talent.

The $100 Million Estate and the Lasting Tributes

When David Bowie passed away, his estate plan revealed his careful provision for his family, ensuring financial security and privacy for his loved ones. The total value of his estate was estimated to be around $100 million.

Bowie's will stipulated that half of his assets would go to his wife, Iman, along with their apartment in Soho, New York. The remaining half was split equally between his two children, Duncan and Lexi Jones, with each receiving an estimated $25 million.

The will also included a provision for the residual of Iman's QTIP Trust (Qualified Terminable Interest Property) to be payable to Duncan and Lexi upon Iman's passing, further solidifying their inheritance.

Beyond the financial legacy, the family has honored Bowie's memory through deeply personal tributes.

The Grandson Named in Tribute

One of the most touching tributes came from Duncan Jones, who welcomed his first child, a son, in 2016, just months after his father's death. The boy was named Stenton David Jones, with the middle name directly honoring the late musician.

This naming choice ensures that the name 'David' continues to live on in the family lineage, a quiet nod to the man behind the 'Starman' persona.

The Half-Siblings' Bond

Despite their significant age gap and different mothers, Duncan and Lexi share a close bond, united by the unique experience of being David Bowie's children.

Lexi has often shared throwback photos of her and her father, demonstrating the deep affection and private family life Bowie cultivated in his later years. Duncan, a well-established figure, has consistently offered support and praise for his younger sister's artistic endeavors, including her 2025 album debut. Their mutual respect and shared legacy ensure the Bowie family saga continues to unfold with grace and creativity.
