Drescher, 56, and Ayyadurai, 50, first stepped out together last October. People magazine added that the two first met when he gave a talk hosted by Deepak Chopra.
Ayyadurai was profiled in 2011 in Time magazine for being the first person to hold a copyright for “EMAIL” -- an electronic mail system he began building as a 14-year-old for the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark, N.J.
The former "Nanny" star is now featured in a TV Land series "Happily Divorced" about her split from ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson in 1999. Maybe she should now change the name of the series to "Happily Married."
