The 67-year-old explained she loves her gay ex-husband, Peter Jacobson, and they are “very close,” so when it comes to relationships, she feels the most she can offer is “friends with benefits.”
Drescher and Jacobson met when she was 15 and later married in 1978 when she was 21. They divorced in 1999, and he later came out as gay.

“You know I’m kind of dating myself and it’s going quite well. I’m not dating,” she said at the time. “I have my gay ex-husband who I love and he fulfills a lot of needs. I have someone on the side who is a friend with benefits.”
She added that due to her busy schedule, she and the mystery man didn’t spend much time together, but saw each other twice a month which was “more than enough.”
“It’s delightful and delicious but I’ve got a big life,” Drescher added.
