Adam Sandler may be best known for his on-screen chemistry with stars like Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore, but off-screen, his heart belongs to one woman: his wife, Jackie Sandler. The couple has been married for over two decades—a rare feat in Hollywood—and share two daughters, Sadie and Sunny. Over the years, Jackie has remained a steady presence by Adam’s side, often accompanying him to red carpet events, including when he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in March 2023.
Most recently, Adam and Jackie stepped out together for the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, which began streaming on Netflix on July 25, 2025. The highly anticipated sequel marks a nostalgic return to one of Adam’s most iconic roles, and Jackie was right by his side for the big moment. The actress and model has appeared in countless of her husband’s films, with cameos in Hubie Halloween and Murder Mystery. While she didn’t appear in Murder Mystery 2, which premiered in March 2023, fans are always on the lookout for her signature appearances.
Here’s everything to know about Jackie Sandler and her longtime relationship with the beloved comedian below.
Adam and Jackie tied the knot in June 2003 at Dick Clark’s oceanfront Malibu home before a slew of famous guests, including Jennifer, Dustin Hoffman, Brendan Fraser, and Rob Schneider. The nuptials came after about four years of dating, as the two got together sometime in 1999. Adam and Jackie welcomed their first daughter Sadie in May 2006 and later, Sunny in November 2008.
At the Uncut Gems premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2019, Adam shared his best secret to a long union. “Just getting time together,” he told reporters. “Making sure that you don’t run off too long and hanging out together and telling the truth.”
As the story goes, Adam and Jackie met on set of the comedian’s 1999 film Big Daddy, which also starred Leslie Mann, Jon Stewart, and Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Jackie had a small role as the waitress that took Adam’s order at a sports bar — and clearly, sparks flew off-screen. The couple began their relationship shortly after. Since then, Jackie has made cameos in a series of her husband’s films, including Just Go With It, Grown Ups, Blended, Murder Mystery, and Hubie Halloween.
Besides the cameo, Adam shared more details about their first meeting at a birthday party when giving his acceptance speech for the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in March 2023. He called his their first meeting his “favorite night” of his life. “Stephen Dorf was having a birthday party, and my agent and buddy Adam Venice said to me, ‘Let’s go.’ I go. I sit at a table, and my buddy Dallas introduces me to that woman over there, and from that moment on, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. She was sweet. She was gorgeous, as nice as it gets, and as luck would have it, she also had the habit of telling me I was great at everything,” he quipped. “In her eyes, I was the best. At least, that’s how she made me feel.”
