Talking to Page Six, the SAG-AFTRA president said, “I have a little rotation,” to an audible gasp from the interviewer.
“I’m Fran Drescher,” she said, adding, “What do you think?!”
Drescher explained that she still maintains a “very close” bond with her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, which is why the most she can give any other romantic partner is casual.
The pair were married from 1978 to 1999. Jacobson came out as gay after they divorced.
In a 2022 interview with E! News, she said that dating following the divorce made her feel “like the animal let out of the zoo.”
“I’ve been on dates with guys who we got into a fight about how we would raise this imaginary kid that we were never gonna have because we clearly were completely different people who would have different styles of parenting,” Drescher recalled.
“I tried one app once, and I found that none of the guys seemed to be honest about how they presented themselves,” she said. “They weren’t as successful as their profile suggested, some of them smoked.”
The 67-year-old actor is still reeling after the Palisades fires that ravaged LA in January.
There is also a pause on The Nanny Broadway musical, as Drescher lost her father.
“We’re going to resurrect (the musical), but between the (actors) strike, my dad passing away, and now the Palisades fires, which impacted my house… there’s only so much I can do,” she said, adding that you have “to be in the right frame of mind.”
“I don’t try to hide it,” she said. “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.”
