In an episode of OWN's 'Where Are They Now?', Iman said: "We both understand the difference between the person and the persona. When we are home we are just Iman and David. We're not anybody else."

She continued: "You have to be at the right time in your life that you're ready for an everlasting relationship, that it becomes first and a priority in your life.

"If your career is important to you, don't get married and have children, because something will give. I know we as women, we want to be able to have it all, but we can't have it all at the same time. So make your priority of what you want at that time."
