David Bowie’s son has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend,
Rodene Ronquillo, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer last month.
Duncan Jones announced the nuptials in a series of tweets Sunday
that explained why the couple decided to head to the altar on Nov. 7,
just days after the beautiful photographer found a lump in her breast.
“I love my wife more than anyone. She's young as can be,” wrote the
award-winning “Moon” director, who shaved his head in support of his
32-year-old betrothed.
“On November 4th, my beautiful fiancé @rodeneronquillo & I were,
frisking about in bed, as you do. I am a boob man & found... A
lump,” Jones said.
Jones, who proposed to Ronquillo back in June, said doctors determined his wife had stage 2 breast cancer after doing a biopsy.
“We were a little overwhelmed by the news: cancer & Election Day,
so decided to make it a set, ran down to the courthouse & got
married!,” he tweeted.
“So cancer, election, marriage. All on one day! Two days later, Ro was in surgery.”
The procedure went “really well,” Jones said, adding that Ronquillo was
put on the “fast track” to chemotherapy, which is set to begin Tuesday.
“Women are getting breast cancer younger & younger,” he added.
“Women? check yourselves! ..& men? Touch up your loved ones. You may
save the life of the person you love.”
Jones, formerly nicknamed Zowie Bowie, is the son of legendary rocker and former American model Angela Barnett.
