At 75, Victoria Principal Finally Speaks Up About Andy Gibb
For decades, fans of Dallas star Victoria Principal and the late pop sensation Andy Gibb have wondered about their whirlwind romance in the late 1970s. Now, at 75 years old, Principal is breaking her silence in a rare and emotional interview, sharing intimate details about their love story, the heartbreak that followed, and how she remembers Gibb today.
The Blossoming Romance Between Victoria Principal and Andy Gibb
Andy Gibb, the youngest brother of the Bee Gees, was at the height of his fame in 1978 when he met Victoria Principal, who was starring as Pamela Ewing on the hit TV series Dallas. Their chemistry was instant, and the media quickly dubbed them “Hollywood’s Golden Couple.”
“Andy was magnetic—charming, funny, and so full of life,” Principal recalls. “We connected on a deep level, but fame and pressure took a toll.”
