Surprise! Actress Fran Drescher is a married woman.
The 56-year-old "Happily Divorced" actress married her boyfriend of more than a year, inventor and entrepreneur Shiva Ayyadurai, Yahoo Celebrity reported. Drescher took to Twitter to announce her recent nuptials by posting a picture of herself with Ayyadurai along with the caption, "Surprise!!!!! We got married!"
A representative for the actress told People Magazine that the couple tied the knot over the weekend in an intimate ceremony in front of friends and family at their beach-front home.
Drescher wore a Badgley Mischka gown, while the groom wore a white Ralph Lauren suit and flip flops.
Ayyadurai, who is known for being the first person to invent email, started dating Drescher in 2013 after meeting at an event hosted by the one and only, Deepak Chopra.
"I was speaking on sages and scientists - in fact, talking about innovation and the fact that we need to more universally look at the models of innovation," Ayyadurai explained during an interview with HuffPost Live. "And Fran heard my talk and we fell in love, and we've been together since that talk."
He added: "Every day is a celebration with Fran. Every day is almost a romantic hangout with her. We're always laughing, always enjoying ourselves."
This is the second marriage for Drescher, who is famously known for her role in "The Nanny." The actress was previously married to Peter Jacobson, but the couple separated in 1996 and divorced in 1999. Jacobson later came out as a gay man.
