Another gorgeous woman, Dreshcher also found herself in a marriage with a man who…well, preferred to be with a man. Married from 1979 to 1999, she didn’t know this during their relationship, but he came out after they split. Drescher told The Huffington Post that she ended the marriage and when she did, he was actually devastated, but it was possibly the best thing for him because he figured what and WHO he really wanted. And she wasn’t as devastated as you would think:

“When I wrote the New York Times bestseller, ‘Cancer Schmancer,’ that was when he came out. He told me that he had been dating men and I said, ‘Okay well whatever makes you happy.’ For me it relieved a little bit of the guilt for having left him.”

And they’re actually the best of friends now. And if that wasn’t enough, the situation helped them both make a lot of money, because she turned the situation into the popular TV Land sitcom, Happily Divorced.
