The 57-year-old Nanny star took to Twitter to reveal that she and the 'inventor of email' had made it official.

Posting a picture of herself in a red dress with her partner, the star captioned the image: 'Surprise!!!!! We got married!'

Keeping with traditional Indian custom - Dr. Ayyadurai is of Indian descent - Fran wore red instead of white, while her groom wore a white polo shirt and suit.

The rep told the website that the bride's dress was Badgley Mischka and the 50-year-old entrepreneur's ensemble was Ralph Lauren.



The pair met early last year when Dr. Ayyadurai - who owns the patent to email and is often credited as the inventor of the electronic mail system amid some controversy - was giving a talk at an event hosted by Deepak Chopra.

The inventor told Huffington Post: 'Fran heard my talk and we fell in love, and we've been together since that talk.

'Every day is a celebration with Fran.



'Every day is almost a romantic hangout with her. We're always laughing, always enjoying ourselves.'



Prior to meeting the inventor, Fran was married to Peter Marc Jacobson for 21 years.

The couple divorced in 1999 after Peter came out as gay.

The former husband and wife remain close with Peter being Fran's producer partner and the basis for her series Happily Divorced.

Peter and the actress wrote the show that made her a star, The Nanny, together.

The Nineties sitcom was loosely based on Fran's life and saw her character go from working in a bridal store to working for a wealthy widower as a nanny, who she eventually falls in love with.
