Peter Marc Jacobson's sexuality

During a 2015 interview with Getout Magazine, the filmmaker revealed he had gay feelings since he was a teenager but was more attracted to girls because of societal expectations in the 1970s. However, he does not regret the time he spent in a heterosexual marriage.

I loved my life with Fran! I just knew that there was something that was not right because I thought about other men sometimes. I felt like I didn't want to cheat on her.

After separating from his wife Fran, he tried dating other women but was not attracted to them. He then started visiting gay bars where he felt comfortable. After 11 years, his friends helped him tell the world about his sexuality.

Fran Drescher and Marc Jacobson were married for 21 years. The former couple were high school teenagers when they met. They exchanged vows at 21 on 4th November 1978.

After marriage, the couple relocated to Los Angeles, California, to further their careers. They separated in 1996 and finalized their divorce in 1999. They had no kids together.

Talking to Advocate.com in 2015, Marc revealed their marriage started to break down during The Nanny production when he became more controlling of Fran. He did not have a proper outlet to channel his feelings which made him angry at his wife.

I became very controlling with Fran—the way she looked, how she dressed, what she ate—and became very Svengali-esque, which is not a good way to be with someone you go home to sleep with. That's what eventually tore us apart—not my sexuality because I wasn't acting out on it then.
