Fran Drescher has a ‘rotation’ of friends with benefits: ‘I’m Fran Drescher! What do you think?’

The Nanny star Fran Drescher, 67, has shared a spicy confession about her sex life in a candid new interview.

Fran Drescher is still enjoying friends with benefits.

“I have a little rotation,” she told Page Six at the Cinema Society screening of The Friend earlier this week — five years after first admitting to having a singular “friend with benefits”.

When we gasped a little at the word “rotation”, the comedienne, 67, laughed.

“I’m Fran Drescher,” she scoffed. “What do you think?!”

She explained that she loves her gay ex-husband and they’re “very close”, so the most she can give anyone else is a “friend with benefits” situation.

Drescher met her ex-husband, Peter Jacobson, when she was 15. The couple married in 1978 when she was 21, but they separated in 1996 and divorced in 1999. Jacobson later came out as gay and they remained good friends.

In 2020, The Nanny star told Page Six that she had “someone on the side who is a friend with benefits”.

She added that due to her busy work schedule, they saw each other about twice a month and that was “more than enough”. Now, she’s enjoying her “rotation”.

Drescher had also been working on a Broadway musical adaptation of her beloved sitcom about a nanny “from Flushing, Queens”, but that was recently put on hold.

“We’re going to resurrect it but between the [actors] strike, my dad passing away [in 2024] and now the Palisades fires, which impacted my house … there’s only so much I can do,” she explained, noting that “you have to be in the right frame of mind” to work.

The Emmy nominee shared that she’s been dealing with all this upheaval but “owning it”.

“I don’t try to hide it,” she continued. “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.”

Drescher added that her house “is still standing, but it’s not liveable, and the neighbourhood is not liveable”.

She’s now living in Beverly Hills and spending time in New York City.

“I have a place here in New York, too,” she explained. “I’m very happy because this is my home, too.”

Other celebrities at the Cinema Society premiere and party, held at The Fulton by Jean-Georges, included the movie’s stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, along with Connie Britton, Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott, Carol Kane, Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie, Griffin Dunne and Fisher Stevens.
