Fran Drescher has publicly disclosed details regarding her romantic and intimate relationships, revealing that, at the age of 67, she maintains a “rotation” of friends with benefits.
The actress, best known for her role in The Nanny, was previously married to showrunner Peter Marc Jacobson. The couple wed in 1978 when Drescher was 21, separated in 1996, and finalized their divorce in 1999, following Jacobson’s decision to come out as gay. Despite their marital dissolution, they have maintained a close and enduring friendship.
Speaking at a Cinema Society screening of The Friend, Drescher candidly admitted, “I have a little rotation,” before confidently affirming, “I’m Fran Drescher. What do you think?” This revelation follows a prior statement from five years ago in which she acknowledged having a singular friend with benefits whom she would see a few times per month.
Drescher has previously expressed her firm decision never to remarry, emphasizing her intention to grow old alongside Jacobson. She has described their relationship as one of deep affection, noting that, despite their romantic separation, they remain emotionally inseparable.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com in June 2022, Drescher elaborated on their unique bond, stating, “We are closer than when we were married and still love each other.” Jacobson similarly described their connection as one that transcends traditional relationship structures, calling Drescher his “soulmate” and asserting, “When you are lucky in life and you meet your soulmate, there is nothing that can tear you apart.”
While they continue to share vacations and significant life experiences, both have independently affirmed their stance against remarriage. Jacobson emphasized, “I don’t think there is any reason to get married—it is just a license. It is the heart, not a signed piece of paper.”#newsafro_
