Fran Drescher’s ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson is out and proud. But the TV nanny still refuses to let go of him.

The couple reportedly first hooked up when they were 15 years old. And they wed at the age of 21. It took the exes another 21 years to divorce and Drescher previously admitted that she didn’t have a gaydar. After all, she didn’t realize that she was married to a homosexual.

Drescher and Jacobson continued to work together from 1993 to 1999 when the former starred in The Nanny. Jacobson served as a producer on the hit sitcom.

A source claimed that Drescher listened to her family and friends’ advice when they told her that she shouldn’t divorce Jacobson. After all, there’s so much love between them.

Over the years, the exes’ relationship became much stronger. In fact, Drescher previously admitted that she’s closers to Jacobson now that they are just friends compared to when they were still married.

“She calls Peter her soulmate. She won’t remarry him or ever walk up the aisle with anyone. But I do see us growing old together. We are divorced, but still single because it is hard to compete with what we shared. We have been together since we were 15 and we’ve been through so much,” Drescher said (via Globe). 

However, the exes’ close relationship with each other doesn’t necessarily confirm that Drescher is struggling to let go of her ex-husband. It is possible that Drescher doesn’t want to lose Jacobson as her best friend but not as her love interest.

In March, the actress told People that she was ready to date. It just so happened that she hasn’t met anyone she’s interested in.

"I tried one app once and I found that none of the guys seemed to be honest about how they presented themselves. They weren't as successful as their profile suggested, some of them smoked. All in all, I think that they kind of fudge their age, they fudge their accomplishments. And although I've been with guys who weren't as successful as I am, I've learned the hard way that it's fun for a while but then eventually they begin to resent you for paying for everything, and for having more than they have, and for being more successful than they are,” she said.
