"Danielle, we will love you forever."
Tributes have also flooded in for the publicist led by Nadine Coyle and Lewis Capaldi.
Dani had shared a heartfelt post on September 25, 2020 – the date the couple were originally due to wed – saying: "I can’t wait to marry you, but the world has other plans."
She also posted poignant photos on her Instagram in her final weeks including adorable snaps in May from a family trip to Sardinia.
Just weeks before, the proud mum shared cute pictures of Bowie as they played in a park close to her home.
Dani also shared a video of Tom – who was part of the band Stereo Kicks – singing an acoustic version of Cold Heart by Dua Lipa and Elton John to the baby.
She wrote: "Happy 6 months my darling boy.
"I played this song almost every day of my 3rd trimester, it was in my labour playlist & it was number 1 the day Bowie was born… determined for it to be “our song” & for it always remind us of life's good bits."
Tom broke the devastating news Dani had passed away in a heartbreaking Instagram post yesterday.
He paid tribute to the "brightest light in any room" and said he would miss her "forever".
'CRIED AN OCEAN'
The singer said: "I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.
“On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak.
"I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.
"I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.”
Tom told how he planned to raise Bowie alone in Dani's memory.
He added: "I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.

"I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.
“The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.”
