Andy Gibb, the youngest brother of the Bee Gees, met actress Victoria Principal in the late 1970s, and they began a romantic relationship. Their relationship became public and was followed closely by fans and the media. However, the relationship faced challenges, particularly due to Gibb’s growing problems with drug addiction.
Gibb’s addiction to cocaine took a toll on his career and personal life. Despite attempts to overcome his addiction, including going to rehab, his dependency on drugs strained his relationship with Principal. The couple eventually split in 1982. After their breakup, Gibb struggled to revive his music career and continued to battle with his addiction.
