Adam Sandler Is a Family Man! Meet the ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Star’s Wife & Kids
Adam Sandler hit the red carpet at the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 this week, and he had wife Jackie Sandler and their daughters by his side. The actor is the biggest family man and that was on full display at the New York City event.
The foursome has posed together on red carpets before, and with the kids following in their dad’s acting footsteps, there will likely be plenty more to come. Scroll down to learn more about Adam’s family.
Who is Adam Sandler’s wife?
Jackie, whose maiden name is Titone, is also an actress. She began her career as a model when she was a teenager, then made her acting debut in the 1999 film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
Some of her film roles over the years include appearances in her husband’s projects, such as 50 First Dates, Grown Ups, The Wrong Missy, and more.
How did Adam Sandler meet his wife?
The two met in 1998 on the set of Adam’s film Big Daddy. Jackie played a waitress in the movie. In 2020, Adam reminisced about the pair’s first meeting, writing on Instagram, “22 years ago today we locked eyes and fell deep. Look forward to the next 22, young lady. Love you my forever girl.”
Adam and Jackie got married on June 22, 2003, in Malibu. He honored their 20th wedding anniversary in 2003 on Instagram. “Happy 20th my sweet Jackie!” the Mr. Deeds star wrote. “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. Lets keep going and going babe. Lots of love to give you. Always.”

Looking ahead, Adam and Jackie plan to be together forever. “Jackie and I like spending time with each other,” he told AARP The Magazine in 2022. “We try to make each other laugh, try to listen, try to include each other, try to support each other. We try our best, that’s all. And we don’t ever think of not being together. We always talk about our future together.”
Who are Adam Sandler’s kids?
Adam and Jackie’s daughters are Sadie, born in 2006, and Sunny, born in 2008. After the girls made a few appearances in some of their dad’s movies, they teamed up with him for the 2023 Netflix film You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Sunny plays Vienna Gilmore, Happy’s daughter, in Happy Gilmore 2.
Did Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore date?
Although Adam and Drew have starred in three rom-coms over the years (The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended), they were never romantically involved. “We’re so close. We text all the time. We see each other. We text,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight in 2024.
Jackie is all for the two sharing PDA scenes in movies, as Adam once said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “She encourages me [to kiss Drew]. There’s no jealousy at all. She’s just like, ‘Get in there.'”
The same goes for Adam and Jennifer Aniston, whom he’s also starred in three movies with and has known since the early 1990s when she dated one of his friends. “Jennifer is one of my closest friends and Jackie’s closest friends,” Adam told Access Hollywood. “So, she’s like ‘Would you give Jennifer some sort of good time with that kiss please?'”
