They even recorded a duet together, with Gibb acting as her vocal coach.
The breakup was heartbreaking for both, and Gibb’s later struggles only underscored the tragic elements of their love story.
Principal has always spoken of Gibb with warmth and respect, noting that she could never reveal every detail of their relationship without violating the trust and bond they once shared.
Now, decades later, Victoria Principal has embraced a life defined not by romantic drama, but by peace, independence, and passion.
Since 2012, she has lived on a serene ranch outside Los Angeles, dedicating her life to rescuing and rehabilitating animals—a lifelong passion that has brought her immense fulfilment.
Animals have always been central to her life, as evidenced by a 2020 social-media post featuring a childhood photo with a dog, accompanied by the caption:
“I don’t remember my life without animals. From a very early age I would find abandoned animals and bring them home.”
Her ranch life allows her to focus on nurturing, healing, and giving back to the creatures she loves, providing a sense of purpose that eclipses the chaos of her past relationships.
