It's another Oprah stunner when Fran Drescher and her gay ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson speak out about their failed marriage for the first time on Friday's "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Fran and Peter fell in love in high school and they are still best friends according to "The Nanny" star, who says, "We have always been kind of soul mates, best friends. We were best friends in high school and we are still best friends. The marriage did go south and take a bitter turn in its final years. I actually think it is less about Peter's sexual orientation and more about … I had a very classic mid-life crisis. I felt like I hit a brick wall."

But Oprah isn't completely buying that and points out, "I think if you are married to a gay man, it would affect your marriage."

For more of the talk show queen's interview with Fran and Peter, tune in to tomorrow's "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
