Jan 04, 2022 by apost team

Adam Sandler is known for being a pretty funny guy and has starred in many comedies to prove just how hilarious he truly is. The actor has made a successful career for himself, finding his footing as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" from 1990 until 1995 before going on to star in a plethora of box office hits. Some of his most notable movies include "Billy Madison," "Happy Gilmore," "The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates."

His wit, comedic timing, and the ability to be an adorable goofball have made him a standout in the comedy world. While Sandler is mostly known for his sense of humor, he has also shown a more romantic side of himself in his films, starring alongside several beautiful and talented actresses, including Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayak and Drew Barrymore to name a few. However, his off-screen romance is by far the most beautiful one Sandler has shown the world, as he has been married to his wife for nearly two decades and has known her for even longer. 

Sandler is married to his longtime partner Jacqueline Titone – now known as Jackie Sandler. Jackie first got her start in the entertainment industry through modeling both nationally and internationally before going on to appear in a handful of films, including many alongside her now-husband. In fact, the happy couple first met on the set of one of Sandler's films about 22 years ago, tied the knot a few years later and are still going strong to this day. Read on to find out more about Sandler and Jackie's heartwarming romance.

In This Together

According to IMDB, Jackie first started modeling in high school and went on to become successful both nationally and internationally. She was later introduced to the acting industry by Rob Schneider, and appeared in the 1999 film "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo." Schneider was impressed with Jackie's work and put in a good word for her to his friend, Sandler, and the rest is history.

Sandler and Jackie first met while working as co-stars on the film "Big Daddy" in 1999. Their courtship was brief – from their introduction in 1999 to tying the knot just four years later in 2003. Parade reported that Aniston and Schneider were among the 400 wedding guests. Along with getting a beautiful wife, Sandler also got an amazing business partner, as Jackie has since teamed up with the comedian on several productions including "Murder Mystery," "Grown Ups," "Just Go With It" and "50 First Dates." 

Speaking with Ellen DeGeneres in 2019, Sandler said, "We do this together, me and Jackie. Movies, you know, we discuss what I'm gonna do. And she gives me, you know, strength and courage to jump into this stuff." According to Parade, Jackie was actually the one who encouraged Sandler to take the role in "Uncut Gems," one of his most critically acclaimed films to date.

In addition to helping Sandler with his production company called Happy Madison, Jackie has also branched out to pursue her own interests, including a Netflix series titled "The Wrong Missy." The Sandler family household has also grown throughout the years, as Sandler and Jackie have welcomed two daughters into their lives: Sunny, born in 2008, and Sadie, born in 2006.

Keeping The Romance Alive

Seeing their parents become stars in the entertainment industry, it was only a matter of time before Sunny and Sadie shared their own hopes to star in a movie, too. Speaking with PEOPLE in October 2020, Sandler said:

"I hear sometimes in the house, 'I wanna 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!'... They wanna do their own thing one day."

While Jackie has worked on a handful of movies with her husband, she has also made sure to offer him some sound advice for the shoots she's not there for either, specifically the ones involving a romantic scene. Sandler admitted that he is "never excited for romantic scenes," even though his wife "loves the women" he has the privilege of working with. In fact, Sandler said that "there's no jealousy at all" on Jackie's end. He added, "She's always saying, 'Come on, make sure you kiss the best you can."

However, it's clear that Sandler has no issue being romantic with his real wife, as he has shared some beautiful, sentimental words about her over the years. Back in 2020, Sandler commemorated the 22nd anniversary of the day he met his now-wife. According to Parade, he wrote, "22 years ago today we locked eyes and fell deep. Look forward to the next 22, young lady. Love you my forever girl."

Sandler also revealed the couple's secret to staying together for so many years: "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."
