Fran Drescher Makes Surprising Confession About Her Sex Life At 67: 'A Little Rotation'
Fran Drescher made an interesting confession about her love and sex life twenty-six years after divorcing her husband, Peter Marc Jacobson. The actress revealed that she has a rotating list of "friends with benefits" because that is all she can offer anyone as she's still close to Jacobson. Fran Drescher recently shared that she feels "exhausted" after going through a pandemic, strike, and the damaging L.A. fires. Fran Drescher got candid bout her interesting love life, declaring that she has a "rotation" of friends with benefits five years after the actress revealed she had "someone on the side who is a friend with benefits. Drescher made the quip this week at the Cinema Society screening of "The Friend," telling Page Six she has "a little rotation" of such friends. When she was pressed on what she might mean by the word "rotation," Drescher jokingly bragged, "I'm Fran Drescher, What do you think?!" The "Happily Divorced" alum explained that she loves her ex-husband Jacobson, who came out as gay after their divorce, adding that they're still "very close," and the most she can give anyone else is a "friend with benefits" situation. Drescher met Jacobson when she was 15 and went on to marry him in 1978 when she was 21. However, they separated in 1996 and divorced in 1999. According to Page Six, Drescher also revealed that she'd been working on a Broadway adaptation of her beloved sitcom "from Flushing, Queens," but that was recently put on hold. "We're going to resurrect it, but between the [actors] strike, my dad passing away [in 2024] and now the Palisades fires, which impacted my house… there's only so much I can do," she explained, adding that "you have to be in the right frame of mind" to work. The 67-year-old actress said that she had been going through all these tough events but "owning it." "I don't try to hide it," she continued. "I'm very gentle with myself. I share what I'm going through, and I keep it very small with people that I feel very safe with, and over time, it gets better." She noted that her house "is still standing, but it's not livable, and the neighborhood is not livable." "I have a place here in New York, too," she added. "I'm very happy because this is my home, too." Drescher's latest confession about her love life comes after she revealed what happened in her previous romance with a singular "friend with benefit" in 2020. "He comes over, we hang out, and we do the hot tub, and I make us some food, and we lay in bed, and maybe we'll watch tennis together, whatever it is, or a movie," she said at the time, per Page Six. "We talk. We have good conversations." With a laugh, she added, "Of course we have sex, and it's delightful, and it keeps me going." Drescher admitted that the relationship with her friend faded due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which kept the world on lockdown. "You know, with COVID, he spent time on some tropical island where he has a house, and he thought he'd be safer there," she explained. "I had a close friend who was ill, and it just distracted me." The actress continued, "They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but not in this case. This was a thing of convenience, and when it became inconvenient, it didn't interest me anymore." Even if all her friends-with-benefits relationship goes sour, Drescher is not afraid of remaining single. "I figure if it's meant to be it'll happen, and I feel very blessed in that I feel complete without it," she shared at the time. "So I would want someone to compliment [me] but not try and complicate me or complete me. And I certainly don't need complications." "I'm very close with my ex-husband, Peter [Marc Jacobson], and I've had plenty of notches in my belt, and right now, I'm kind of in a different place," she added.
