Whoopity-doo! Adam Sandler has become a Hollywood icon thanks to his movies and shows — from Saturday Night Live to films like Billy Madison, Grown Ups and Murder Mystery, even dipping his toes into more dramatic fare as well.
You know what they say — behind every great man is a great woman. The phrase couldn’t be more true for Sandler, who has been married to his wife, Jackie Sandler, since 2003. It’s possible viewers of Adam’s films have seen Jackie multiple times and not even realized it — but who is the 50 First Dates star’s better half?
Scroll down to get to know Jackie, from where she grew up to how she feels about Adam’s onscreen kisses:
Jacqueline Samantha Titone was born in Coral Springs, Florida, on September 24, 1974, to parents Joseph and Lila Titone. Her father was an attorney, and her mother was a teacher. Jackie wasn’t the couple’s only child; she has three siblings. Eventually, Joseph and Lila split and found themselves locked in a drawn-out divorce that went on for seven years. As a teenager, Jackie stayed with her mom and kept her distance from her dad. Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock
Yes! The Wedding Singer star brought his English bulldog, Meatball, to the nuptials. The ceremony took place on June 22, 2003, at Dick Clark’s oceanfront estate in Malibu, and there were cameos from countless stars in attendance. The pooch was so important to the Just Go With It star that his duties included best man and ring bearer. When the bulldog died the following year, Adam threw an elaborate memorial service that was attended by numerous collaborators. David Buchan/Shutterstock
Yes, the pair share two daughters: Sadie (born in May 2006) and Sunny (born in November 2008). The Little Nicky comedian is a wonderful father to the girls, even admitting he had adjusted his hustle-heavy lifestyle after they came into the world. The Saturday Night Live alum shared with Fatherly in 2015, “My kids give me the most joy, but there are life adjustments.” Since becoming a parent, he refuses to meet anyone after 9:30 p.m., and he eats dinner between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Undoubtedly, Jackie approves of her husband’s family-centric changes.

Yes! Jackie began modeling in high school before taking on the profession internationally, but she knew there was a lot more for her beyond posing for the camera. From there, she transitioned into acting and met Adam on the set of Big Daddy, playing the role of a waitress working at a bar called the Blarney Stone. The popular comedy follows Adam playing Sonny Koufax, an irresponsible man in his 30s. When his girlfriend dumps him for an older man, he attempts to win her back by showing he’s ready to act like an adult. How? By adopting a 5-year-old named Julian! Jackie can be seen in the film as a waitress who approaches Julian (played by twins Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse) and says, “What are you doing in here, cutie?” before asking the boy who he wants to win in football. And while Big Daddy would be a movie that would change the course of her life, it wasn’t her first film! That was another SNL alum’s project called Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo. This comedy stars Rob Schneider as a fish tank cleaner who accidentally causes major damage while house-sitting. To raise the money for the repairs, he decides to become a gigolo. That movie just so happened to be produced by Adam’s company, Happy Madison Productions. Jackie briefly appeared in the movie as a character named Sally. Schneider suggested Jackie for Adam’s Big Daddy, and fate took the wheel from there! As of fall 2022, she’s been in nearly 40 movies, including I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Grown Ups and Zookeeper. Bei/Shutterstock
Next up, Jackie will appear with her husband and daughters in the film You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, an adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s 2007 coming-of-age novel. The movie is slated to debut on Netflix. Also starring in the film is Adam’s Uncut Gems costar Idina Menzel (of Frozen fame). Another one of his former costar, Punch-Drunk Love actor Luis Guzmán, will also appear. The film will take place in the present day, although the book is set in the early 2000s. The story centers around a character named Stacey Friedman, who is getting ready for her bat mitzvah. Everything is going to plan until she sees her best friend making out with her crush. If the movie is successful, there’s already sequel potential. The author of the book wrote a follow-up, We Are So Crashing Your Bar Mitzvah. This won’t be Adam’s first film with his girls. Sadie made her film debut at the age of 2 in the 2008 movie Bedtime Stories, which follows a hotel handyman who tells extravagant bedtime stories to his niece and nephew that become magically true. In the film, Sadie plays “Sweetest Medieval Girl of All Time.” Since that time, she can also be spotted in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2, Jack and Jill and Blended. Younger daughter Sunny is not to be left out, having supporting roles in That’s My Boy and Jack and Jill. She has also lent her voice talents to several characters, including to some in the Hotel Transylvania series. Invision/AP/Shutterstock
Yes, she does … big time! Adam has frequently gone on the record sharing how supportive his partner is of his career. They “do this together,” he once said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, adding that they discuss which projects he picks, and she gives him the “strength and courage” to move forward. This includes his lauded work on Uncut Gems. While being honored at the 2020 National Board of Review Gala for his efforts on that film, he said Jackie gave him “the balls to take the part.” In fact, they are very supportive of each other. During an interview with ET Canada, Adam said that it’s good to talk things out when you recognize your spouse is not the “happiest she’s ever been.” If the comedian senses any rough patches, he encourages Jackie to find a place to sit and talk with him about whatever she needs to get off her chest. The Uncut Gems star and Jackie are an excellent example of a healthy relationship with such open communication! That’s likely a big part of why their marriage has continued for more than two decades, a rare feat in Hollywood. Jim Ruymen/UPI/Shutterstock
In a 2020 interview with W Magazine, the Pixels actor said he feels awkward and tense about romantic scenes in films. But instead of adding fuel to the fire and making this more complicated, Jackie champions him to do them well. During another interview with the Associated Press in 2019, Adam said Jackie actually tells him things like “Harder! Harder! Kiss her harder!” and “Deeper!!” during romantic scenes. She even made friends with one of the famous women he kissed. Adam’s wife adores her husband’s onscreen love interest Jennifer Aniston. Adam and Aniston worked together on the Murder Mystery movies. The two lovely ladies bonded, pushing Adam to live a healthier lifestyle. Jim Ruymen/UPI/Shutterstock
