In fact, Principal had purchased a stunning 3.89-carat diamond herself, celebrating her 33rd birthday with a gift she could proudly claim.
The relationship with Glassman, however, was not without its challenges.
In 2002, police were called to their multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills home after Principal reportedly sustained injuries to her lip, eye, neck and cheek.
Glassman was arrested on charges of corporal injury, though the charges were later dropped, and both insisted their marriage remained intact.
Still, the incident left an indelible mark on Principal’s life. She would eventually end the marriage in 2006 after nearly 21 years together, acknowledging that the trauma and public scrutiny had irreparably altered the relationship.
Throughout her life, Principal also experienced shorter, intense romances, including with former NFL wide receiver Lance Rentzel.
Though brief, these relationships added layers of complexity to her already multifaceted romantic history. Perhaps most notably, she shared a profound and bittersweet connection with Andy Gibb.
Their relationship, which began when she was 31 and he was 23, was marked by intense chemistry, artistic collaboration and the pressures of fame.
