Who knew that a film set could be the perfect place to find true love? Hollywood legend Adam Sandler met the woman who would become his lifelong partner on the set of the 1999 film Big Daddy. That’s where he crossed paths with the stunning Jackie Sandler. Fast forward to 2003, and the couple tied the knot in a beautiful Malibu ceremony surrounded by friends and family. Since then, they’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, and collaboration—both on and off the screen.
Who Is Jackie Sandler, the Love of Adam Sandler’s Life?
Jackie Sandler isn’t just a pretty face; she’s a talented woman with an impressive background. Born and raised in Florida, Jackie started her career as a high-fashion model before transitioning into acting. Her first big break came when she landed a cameo in Rob Schneider’s hilarious 1999 comedy Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. It was Rob who later helped Jackie snag a role in Big Daddy, the movie that brought her and Adam together. From the moment their eyes met, it was clear that something special was brewing between them.
As the couple celebrated their 22nd anniversary of meeting in August 2020, Adam took to Instagram to reflect on their journey. Sharing a throwback photo, he wrote about how he "locked eyes and fell deep" the moment he saw Jackie on set. Their wedding, held in Malibu, was a star-studded affair attended by close friends like Rob Schneider, Jennifer Aniston, and Dustin Hoffman. Clearly, this wasn’t just any Hollywood romance—it was the real deal.

Throughout their relationship, Adam and Jackie have continued to share the screen in numerous films, including Eight Crazy Nights, 50 First Dates, Grown Ups, and Bedtime Stories. In fact, Adam credits much of their successful marriage to spending quality time together and being honest with one another. At the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019, he shared his secret to lasting love: "Just getting time together. Making sure that you don’t run off too long and hanging out together and telling the truth and that kind of thing’s good." Simple, yet profound advice from a man who knows what matters most.
In June 2023, Adam took a moment to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post. He captioned a photo from their wedding day: "Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your ‘I do’ was the best gift of my life. My heart has been yours since the first second I saw you, and I love and appreciate your devoted soul more and more each day. Us. The kids. Let’s keep going and going, babe. Lots of love to give you. Always." Clearly, this couple still has that spark after all these years.
Are Adam and Jackie Parents?
Yes, they are proud parents to two beautiful daughters—Sadie and Sunny. Their eldest, Sadie, was born in May 2006, while their youngest, Sunny, arrived in November 2008. Both girls have followed in their parents’ footsteps by making appearances in several of Adam’s films, including Blended, Jack and Jill, and Murder Mystery. The entire family even starred together in Netflix’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah in August 2023.
In 2020’s Hubie Halloween, Sadie and Sunny made memorable cameos, sparking conversations about their future in acting. During an October 2020 interview with People, Adam joked about his kids wanting to branch out on their own. "I hear sometimes in the house, ‘I want to be in a movie,’ and I say, ‘You are, you were in this, this and this,’ and they go, ‘Not yours.’ I go, ‘Oh, Daddy’s not good enough!’" he laughed. Clearly, the next generation of Sanders might just be destined for the spotlight.
