Iman's mother has died less than three months after her husband David Bowie's shocking death.
On Friday morning, the 60-year-old model broke the news via social media.
"Saddened by the death of my mom Maryan Baadi," she wrote on Instagram. "May Allah grant her the highest jennah. I beg that you respect my family's privacy during our time of grief #ripmaryanbaadi."
Iman was very vocal about her parents' activism in a 2014 interview with The Guardian. "My mother was an activist, so was my father," she said. "They came from a generation of young Somalis who were actively involved in getting independence for Somalia in 1960."
"So I remember when I was 5 how busy our house was," she continued. "People would come in the middle of the night, meetings after meetings, and protests and all that. I grew up in the midst of all of that. And she instilled that in me. The fact that nobody can take your self-worth unless you give your consent."
In January, Iman lost her husband of nearly 24 years after a secret battle with cancer. He was 69.
Weeks later, Bowie's longtime friend and hairstylist, Teddy Antolin, passed away.
