Fran Drescher Embraces Casual Relationships and Reflects on Personal Challenges

The actress and SAG-AFTRA president discusses her 'rotation' of friends with benefits, her unlivable Pacific Palisades home, and delays to 'The Nanny' Broadway adaptation.

Fran Drescher, 67, revealed she currently maintains a 'rotation' of friends with benefits, emphasizing her preference for non-serious relationships.
She remains close friends with her gay ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, whom she divorced in 1999 after his coming out, describing their bond as fulfilling many of her emotional needs.
Her Pacific Palisades home is still standing but unlivable due to damage from the 2024 Palisades fires, prompting her to split her time between Beverly Hills and New York City.
Drescher's Broadway adaptation of 'The Nanny' has been delayed, citing the impact of the 2023 actors' strike, her father's death in 2024, and her personal challenges.
She continues to advocate for more uplifting and hopeful storytelling in entertainment, calling for narratives that inspire empathy and connection.
