In a candid conversation with Closer Weekly, Fran shared some heartfelt insights into her experiences with love, loss, and what’s next for her.

During a recent exclusive interview, Fran opened up about her foray into online dating. When asked if she's found love again, she laughed and said, "No! I actually only tried it once, and it wasn’t what I expected." She went on to explain, "The person misrepresented himself, which was disappointing. You expect honesty, especially when you’re putting yourself out there." It’s clear that Fran is still navigating the complexities of modern dating, but her spirit remains undeterred.

Friends close to Fran have spoken out about the split, shedding light on the dynamics of their relationship. "They realized pretty quickly that things weren’t working as a married couple. Shiva wasn’t willing to compromise much, and he never fully embraced her lifestyle as an actress," revealed an insider to Closer. Another friend chimed in, saying, "They were complete opposites. He was shy and preferred to stay away from the cameras and the spotlight, whereas Fran loves Hollywood. She’s excited about the next chapter of her life!"

Fran’s journey through love has been anything but simple. She first tied the knot with Peter Marc Jacobson in 1978, and their marriage lasted until 1999 when Peter revealed he was gay. Tragically, during their marriage, Fran was the victim of a harrowing rape in their LA home. Despite the pain, Fran has used her experiences to inspire and empower others.
