During the height of her fame on TV’s The Nanny, Fran Drescher would show up on red carpets with her oh-so-handsome husband Peter Marc Jacobson who she had been married to in 1978.When they split up in 1999, there was no scandal. it just seemed like one of those Hollywood marriages that did not work out. But in a new interview with In Touch Weekly, Fran reveals that her ex came out as a gay man to her after their split!
Their relationship seems to have evolved into a real-life Will & Grace: “We love each other dearly,” she says. “We have even fixed each other up! I more successfully than him, by the way.”
They’re even working together on a new sitcom based on their relationship: “Peter and I feel so blessed to have met each other and to still have a caring, loving relationship. Love is what we’re all about.”
In 2008, she and Peter co-hosted a cocktail party in LA to benefit a group seeking to block California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
“Peter and I met when we were 15,” Fran tells In Touch. “We were just kids and didn’t know who we truly were. We went through a lot together.”
