Hey, look! It’s the Fandis in Fendi!” quips Iman Fandi, the 19-year-old only daughter of local soccer legend Fandi Ahmad and his supermodel wife, Wendy Jacobs, 44. Jacobs flashes a smile at her daughter, proud of her stunning offspring who possesses the grace, stature and intriguing good looks of her part Malay, part South African heritage, as well as the fact that Iman has followed in her footsteps to become one of Singapore’s most popular models. Iman graced the cover of Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore two years back (flanked by her equally handsome brothers, Irfan and Ikhsan) and continues to make waves as a fitspo model and influencer with major fashion and beauty brands. Here, BAZAAR talks to the dynamic mother-daughter duo on what makes their relationship so special, and how bonds are formed beyond good looks and a blessed genetic pool.
Tell us about your relationship.
Wendy Jacobs: When she was younger, Iman was very shy and kept to herself. I was afraid that she and I wouldn’t have that special mother-daughter bond. But I’m so glad that that phase has passed; we hang out and talk about everything now. I am happy and grateful that she’s in my life.
