Fran Drescher Has 1 Rule When Vacationing With Her Gay Ex-Husband

Fran Drescher makes one thing clear to “gay ex-husband” Peter Marc Jacobson: he is not allowed to interfere with her current dating life.

In an interview published with an outlet on May 11, the actress, 68, uncovered the stern talk she gives her former husband if she wants to flirt with other men when they're traveling together.

The exes — who were married between 1978 to 1999 — remain amicable and often take international trips together, including a recent getaway to Berlin.

“He's my gay ex-husband. He's my best friend and he's always around,” Drescher said. “But we try and make sure that he's not too much of a c---block.”

Even though Jacobson is often present, other men aren’t deterred from pursuing her.

“That might have been, but for the most part, everybody knows who he is,” the TV star explained.

Drescher credited Jacobson — who co-created The Nanny and Happily Divorced with her — as her “life partner” and “work partner” despite their split.

Jacobson came out as gay in 2001, two years after their divorce.

"We were living a heterosexual life," he told Oprah in 2011. "I wasn't having affairs on the side or anything like that. I thought that I was straight."

The TV writer was in therapy, yet the experts tried to convince him of his sexuality.

"I saw three psychologists through our marriage that said to me, 'You're straight. You're not gay. You may have thoughts about it. You're not acting on it. Other men have these thoughts,'" he explained.

"I'd get angry because I'd start thinking about it, and I didn't know what to do with it," he recounted. "I kept trying to push it back."

Eventually, his conflicting emotions negatively impacted his mood and marriage.

"He was very controlling," Drescher recalled. "He was easily threatened if I was spending time with people outside of the relationship. He was even jealous of our dog, when I wanted the dog to be with us. So it became very suffocating."

Jacobson agreed, "I was a mess. I wanted to spend time with her, but I wasn't dealing with what was really happening."

Marital issues aside, they never struggled in the bedroom.

"We had great s--," Jacobson admitted, while Drescher added, "We always used to think that we must be having better s-- than our friends because he was a very sexual man.”

Eventually, the actress had a candid conversation with her ex, where he confessed his sexuality.

"Once he got in touch with his confusion, he did sit me down, and he said, 'I think I'm bisexual but I'm making the choice — I love you, I love our life together and I want to spend my life with you,''' Drescher remembered. "And I, who was at that point Miss Super Woman and not in touch with how it was really affecting me, felt like 'My God, he's being so honest with me. He must really love me.'"

Ultimately, she decided to end the marriage, but they remain close friends to this day.
