Adam Sandler is one of the most beloved comedic actors of all time. This is thanks to roles in movies such as “Happy Gilmore,” “Big Daddy,” and “The Waterboy.” Now, ahead of multiple new projects, he recently opened up about the love between him and his adoring wife, Jackie Sandler.
Sandler interviewed with PEOPLE at the premiere for his new film, “Jay Kelly.” When asked about his wife, the beloved actor said, “We’re very close. We like to talk, like to laugh, like to have fun, and like to think about things and take care of our kids.”
Sandler continued, “I’m just more thankful than I’ve ever been. Happy I got to do this life, happy all the people who’ve been with me during all this stuff, and helped me out, and [it’s] just been a phenomenal time. My whole family’s always been great to me. My wife and I talk about stuff, and what to do, and what to do next, and it’s just been a very cool life.”
Adam Sandler Met His Wife on a Movie Set
Sandler met his wife in 1999 while filming “Big Daddy.” She appeared in the film, playing a waitress. Their romance began shortly after, and they married in June 2003. They have two kids together.
He took to social media in July 2020 to commemorate their 22nd anniversary. The “Happy Gilmore” actor said, “22 years ago today, we locked eyes and fell deep. Look forward to the next 22, young lady. Love you, my forever girl.”
As mentioned, she’s also an actor. One of her most recent roles was in “Happy Gilmore 2” in 2025. She also appeared in “Kinda Pregnant,” which was released the same year.
Jay Kelly Has Strong Reviews
As mentioned, Sandler recently attended the premiere of his new film, “Jay Kelly.” It was released in select movie theaters on November 14. Following this short theatrical run, it will be available to stream on Netflix starting December 5. Noah Baumbach directed the film, and it also stars George Clooney.
As of November 18, “Jay Kelly” has an impressive 80 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This score is based on 105 reviews.
One critic said, “Baumbach’s character study of a sixty-year-old movie star who realizes too late that he’s pushed away what matters in life is ironically overshadowed by the more emotionally rich portrayal of that man’s manager, Ron Sukenick (Adam Sandler)…”
Someone else stated, “A funny and moving Hollywood cautionary tale about the perils of losing work-life balance, about buying into the dream of becoming a star, and about how, when your career has ended, whatâs left are the meaningful relationships youâve made, if any.”
