12th February, 2024

Adam Sandler has collaborated with numerous top talents in Hollywood throughout his career. Rising to prominence in the 1990s with hits like Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Billy Madison, his films have consistently featured some of the industry’s most renowned stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore.

However, amidst these high-profile collaborations, there’s one notable individual with whom Adam has shared the screen that might not be as recognizable to audiences: his wife, Jackie Titone Sandler. They first met on the set of Big Daddy in 1999 and tied the knot in 2003.

Initially known for her work as a model, Jackie has transitioned into acting and producing. She has joined forces with her husband on several film projects, showcasing their successful professional partnership.

She started her career as a model

Jackie, formerly known as Jackie Titone, was born in Coral Springs, Florida, on September 24, 1974. Her modeling career commenced during her high school years. In 1999, she ventured into acting, portraying Sally in Rob Schneider’s movie “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.”

She met Adam on the set of Big Daddy

Adam allegedly encountered Jackie while filming the 1999 blockbuster Big Daddy, where she took on the role of a waitress at the neighborhood sports bar.

In 2020, the actor expressed heartfelt sentiments towards his wife on Instagram, commemorating the anniversary of their first meeting. “Today marks 22 years since our gaze intertwined and our hearts connected,” Adam penned alongside a nostalgic snapshot of himself and Jackie. “Eagerly anticipating the next 22 years, my eternal companion. I adore you endlessly, my beloved.”

She and Adam have been married since 2003

On June 22, 2003, the couple exchanged vows in a beautiful outdoor Jewish ceremony at Dick Clark’s oceanfront Malibu estate. Alongside their celebrity friends, including Jennifer Aniston, Rodney Dangerfield, and Sharon Osbourne, one special guest stole the show: Adam’s beloved dog, Meatball, dressed in a charming black tuxedo jacket.

Fast forward to June 2023, and Adam and Jackie celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Reflecting on their journey, Adam took to Instagram to express his love and gratitude. Sharing a throwback photo from their wedding day, he wrote, “Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your ‘I do’ was the best gift of my life.” He poured out his affection, acknowledging how his heart has belonged to her from the moment they met and expressing his deep appreciation for her devoted soul.

In his message, Adam expressed his desire to continue their journey together, embracing all the love and challenges life has to offer. He concluded with a heartfelt declaration of everlasting love: “Us. The kids. Let’s keep going and going babe. Lots of love to give you. Always.”

She and Adam have two daughters

The couple celebrated the birth of their first child, Sadie, in May 2006. Adam shared the news on his website, expressing joy at both the baby’s and his wife’s health.

Their family expanded with the arrival of their second daughter, Sunny, born in November 2008. The girls have made appearances in several of their father’s movies, including “Hubie Halloween,” “Hotel Transylvania,” and “Murder Mystery.” In 2023, they collaborated as a family in the Netflix comedy “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.”

Jackie has also made cameo appearances in her husband’s films, such as “50 First Dates,” “Grown Ups,” “The Wrong Missy,” and “Hubie Halloween.”

In November 2022, Sandler was honored with the Film Tribute Award at the Gotham Awards in New York City. He humorously revealed that he was “too busy” to write his own speech, so he enlisted the help of his teenage daughters. The resulting speech, more of a comedic roast, included a heartfelt acknowledgment to their mother.

During a Los Angeles Lakers game in February 2024, Adam, Jackie, and Sadie were spotted courtside, cheering on their home team against the Denver Nuggets.

She encouraged Adam to take the role in 2019’s Uncut Gems

Adam Sandler credited his wife, Jackie, for inspiring him to take on the role in Uncut Gems, which ultimately led to him winning the best actor award at the 2020 National Board of Review Gala. He expressed gratitude towards his wife, stating, “My remarkable wife gave me the courage to pursue the part. I was hesitant, but she pushed me, saying, ‘Go for it’ and ‘You’ve got this,’ and we practiced together extensively.”

She’s friends with Jennifer Aniston

Jackie has developed close friendships with some of Adam’s well-known co-stars, including Jennifer Aniston, who starred alongside the comedian in films like 2011’s “Just Go With It” and 2019’s “Murder Mystery.”

Adam shared with The Hollywood Reporter in December 2021 that Jennifer and his wife collaborate to encourage him to adopt healthier habits, like stretching.

Despite the onscreen romance between Adam and Jennifer, Jackie is supportive and even encourages him to fully commit to those scenes.

During an interview with Access Hollywood, Adam mentioned that Jackie isn’t bothered by his onscreen chemistry with Jennifer; instead, she encourages him to give it his all. At the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony held on March 19, 2023, at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington D.C., both Jackie and Jennifer were present.

In her speech, Jackie affectionately celebrated Adam’s quirky and humorous personality, including his penchant for Pepto Bismol and unconventional habits. Jennifer, in an interview with WSJ. Magazine in August 2023, expressed gratitude for the Sandlers’ friendship, revealing that they commemorate Mother’s Day by sending her flowers, acknowledging her past struggles with infertility and IVF attempts.

She and Adam enjoy spending time together

In a feature article for AARP The Magazine, Adam shared the key to a successful marriage.

“Jackie and I genuinely enjoy each other’s company,” he disclosed. “We make an effort to bring laughter into our lives, to truly listen to one another, to ensure we’re both included, and to provide unwavering support. We simply do our best, and the thought of not being together never crosses our minds. Our conversations consistently revolve around our shared future.”

She and Adam have walked many red carpets together

In February 2023, Jackie and Adam graced the SAG Awards in Los Angeles. Jackie, a mother of two, dazzled in a striking red gown with a plunging neckline, while the star of “50 First Dates” exuded elegance in a sleek black suit paired with a bow tie.
