‘I have a little rotation,’ she told Page Six at the Cinema Society screening of The Friend earlier this week.
After making the admission, The Nanny star confidently added: ‘I’m Fran Drescher. What do you think?’
Five years ago, she admitted to she had a singular friend with benefits she would see a couple times a month.
The Nanny star previously said she will never marry again and plans to grow old with her openly gay ex-husband.
Fran Drescher revealed she has a ‘rotation’ of friends with benefits while opening up about her love life
The comedienne said that she still loves her ex and they are ‘very close’ so she chooses to only have a ‘friend with benefits.’
Drescher married Jacobson in 1978 when she was 21, but they separated in 1996 and divorced in 1999.
Jacobson later came out as gay, and in spite of their split, they remained good friends.
Back in June 2022, she exclusively told DailyMail.com that she and Jacobson are ‘closer than when we were married’ and still love each other, while her ex called her his ‘soulmate.’
‘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,’ she explained.
About their bond, Jacobson said: ‘When you are lucky in life and you meet your soulmate, there is nothing that can tear you apart. We vacation together. We do everything together… It is a deep, deep love.’
But he agreed with his ex and said he also wouldn’t marry again.
‘I don’t think there is any reason to get married — it is just a license,’ he said. ‘It is the heart, not a signed piece of paper.’

In 2020, Drescher revealed she had ‘someone on the side who is a friend with benefits,’ per Page Six.
Due to her busy work schedule, she explained they could only see each other about twice a month but she added that was ‘more than enough.’
Since then, she has apparently added at least another ‘friend with benefits’ to her ‘rotation.’
Recently, Drescher had been preparing to debut a Broadway musical adaptation of her sitcom The Nanny, which ran for six seasons from 1993 to 1999 and her ex had executive produced.
She explained the project was put on hold due to major events in both her personal and professional life.
‘We’re going to resurrect it but between the [writers and actors] strike, my dad passing away and now the Palisades fires, which impacted my house… there’s only so much I can do,’ she said.
She added that she needs to be in the ‘right frame of mind’ to work.
Despite everything she has been facing, she said she has been ‘owning it’ and she has been feeling ‘better.’

‘I don’t try to hide it. I’m very gentle with myself,’ she said. ‘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.’
She also explained that the devastating wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles in January affected her home but it is ‘still standing.’
However, she said ‘it’s not livable and the neighborhood is not livable.’
Nowadays, she said she is staying in Beverly Hills and also spending time in New York City.
‘I have a place here in New York too,’ she said. ‘I’m very happy because this is my home, too.’
