Adam Sandler has built a career on making audiences laugh, but when it comes to his personal life, he’s just as devoted to his family as he is to his craft. And at the center of it all? Jackie Sandler, the woman who’s been by his side for over two decades.
Their love story started in 1999 on the set of Big Daddy, where Jackie, a former model-turned-actress, had a small role as a waitress. Adam must have known right then and there that she was someone special because just a few years later, on June 22, 2003, they said “I do” in a beautiful Jewish ceremony at Dick Clark’s Malibu estate.
Over 400 guests, including Jennifer Aniston, Jack Nicholson, and Rob Schneider, celebrated their union, but one of the most memorable attendees was Adam’s beloved dog, Meatball, who walked down the aisle in a tux. That wedding wasn’t just a Hollywood event—it was the beginning of a lifelong partnership built on love, laughter, and mutual support.
Who Is Adam Sandler’s Wife, Jackie Sandler?
Adam Sandler has been married to his wife, Jackie Sandler, since 2003, and they have built a loving family together. They have two kids, their daughters Sadie Sandler (born May 6, 2006) and Sunny Sandler (born November 2, 2008).
Jackie, born Jackie Titone on September 24, 1974, in Coral Springs, Florida, started off as a model in high school before stepping into acting. Her first big role came in 1999’s Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, but it was Big Daddy that truly changed her life. Since then, she’s been a staple in Adam’s films, making appearances in 50 First Dates, Grown Ups, Murder Mystery, and more.
But she’s not just a background character in Adam’s career—she plays a crucial role behind the scenes, too. It was Jackie who pushed Adam to take on his critically acclaimed role in Uncut Gems, giving him the courage to step outside his comedic comfort zone. As Adam put it, she straight-up told him, “Go f—ing do that,” and that was all he needed to hear.
Adam Sandler Shares Two Daughters, Sadie and Sunny, With Jackie
Adam and Jackie Sandler’s love only grew stronger as they became parents. Their first daughter, Sadie, was born in May 2006, and just two years later, in November 2008, they welcomed their second daughter, Sunny. From an early age, both girls were immersed in their father’s world of filmmaking. They made their on-screen debuts in Grown Ups, and over the years, they’ve racked up appearances in Hotel Transylvania, Murder Mystery, and Hubie Halloween.
But their big moment came in 2023, when the entire Sandler family starred in Netflix’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Sunny took the lead role as Stacy Friedman, Sadie played her older sister Ronnie, Adam played their dad, and Jackie played Gabi, the mother of Stacy’s best friend. It was a true family affair, and director Sammi Cohen even praised Sadie and Sunny, saying they work harder than most adults on set.
The Sandlers’ Inner Circle: Friendships, Family, and Over-the-Top Celebrations
If there’s one thing that’s clear about the Sandlers, it’s that they are a tight-knit crew. Their bond extends beyond film sets and premieres—Adam and Jackie are actively involved in their daughters’ lives. When Sadie had her Bat Mitzvah, Adam went all out, calling in a favor from Adam Levine, who performed with his guitarist, James Valentine. And when Sunny had hers, the guest list was a who’s who of Hollywood, including Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Lautner, with performances from Charlie Puth and Halsey. Even Halsey called it the “craziest Bat Mitzvah” she’d ever seen, comparing it to Coachella.

Through it all, Jackie has been Adam’s rock. She’s not just supportive of his career—she actually encourages him to be more romantic in his on-screen moments. When Adam was hesitant about kissing Jennifer Aniston in Murder Mystery, Jackie told him to make sure he did it properly. And when it comes to their marriage, Adam has been vocal about what makes it work. He’s said that the secret is simple: they love spending time together, they listen, they make each other laugh, and they always think about their future as a team. That kind of partnership is rare, especially in Hollywood.
Jackie has also formed close friendships with Adam’s co-stars, especially Jennifer Aniston. Jen has spoken about how she and Jackie team up to get Adam to take better care of himself, from stretching more to improving his diet. And every Mother’s Day, Adam and Jackie send Aniston flowers to honor her, knowing her struggles with infertility. Their kindness and thoughtfulness extend beyond their family, making them one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.
