Fran Drescher's Happily Divorced Picked up for Second Season

from Best Gay News Magazine 


The GOOD NEWS - Happily Divorced is getting picked up for a second season.

The BAD NEWS - these cable tv seasons are TOO SHORT -  the current season  ends in just a couple weeks!


Fran Drescher didn't have to look far for inspiration for her new TV Land show Happily Divorced.  The sitcom, about a woman whose husband turns out to be gay, is actually based on her own experience.

After her marriage of 21 years ended, Drescher's husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, came out of the closet.

"He had already been living a gay life away from me after we divorced, and he said, 'I don't want you to be shocked. I'm dating men,' " the actress, 53, told People.

The revelation didn't entirely surprise Drescher. "During our marriage he had told me he might be bisexual, but he wanted to stay married," she says. "By the time he told me, I had survived uterine cancer. Nothing could shake me."

Over the years, the two of them have rebuilt their relationship as friends. "It's great that we had the ability and the wisdom to reinvent our relationship. All those years weren't for nothing," she says. "We're very tight. We're best friends."
