Fran Drescher is perfectly happy flying solo.
“I’m in a relationship with myself, and it’s going quite well,” the “Nanny” alum told Page Six exclusively at the premiere of “The Survivor” Monday night.
“It’s always good to take those passages and really focus on what you’re feeling,” she added.
After all, Drescher, 64, is busy as ever since becoming the president of SAG-AFTRA in 2021.
“That is quite consuming on top of a big career and Cancer Schmancer,” she noted, referring to her nonprofit organization. “I don’t have a burning desire [to date] right now.”
The actress, who has been single since her 2016 split from engineer Shiva Ayyadurai, previously told Page Six that she had a “friend with benefits.”
“He comes over, we hang out and we do the hot tub, and I make us some food, and we lay in bed, and maybe we’ll watch tennis together, whatever it is, or a movie,” she said in January 2020. “We talk. We have good conversations.”
With a laugh, she added, “Of course we have sex, and it’s delightful, and it keeps me going.”
But Drescher revealed Monday that the casual relationship is now kaput.
“You know, with COVID, he spent time on some tropical island where he has a house, and he thought he’d be safer there,” she explained to us. “I had a close friend who was ill, and it just distracted me. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but not in this case. This was a thing of convenience, and when it became inconvenient, it didn’t interest me anymore.”
But the Emmy nominee does not sound like she will be too gutted if she remains single.
“I figure if it’s meant to be it’ll happen, and I feel very blessed in that I feel complete without it,” she shared. “So I would want someone to compliment [me] but not try and complicate me or complete me. And I certainly don’t need complications.
“I’m very close with my ex-husband, Peter [Marc Jacobson], and I’ve had plenty of notches in my belt, and right now I’m kind of in a different place,” she added.
The Queens native married Jacobson, who was her high school sweetheart, in 1978. They separated in 1996 and divorced three years later. He subsequently came out as gay.
“The Survivor” is based on the true story of Harry Haft, a boxer who was forced to fight fellow prisoners in Auschwitz to survive. He eventually settled in America, where he took up high-profile fights against boxers like Rocky Marciano in hopes of finding his first love again.
Ben Foster, who plays Haft, attended Monday’s special screening at Temple Emanu-El in New York along with his wife, Laura Prepon, director Barry Levinson and co-stars John Leguizamo and Danny DeVito.
