Jackie and Adam Sandler are a pretty low-key couple for a pair of actors that have appeared in at least 20 movies together since falling in love on set of Big Daddy.
Of course, acting together is kind of their thing. After all, the couple reportedly met while filming the 1999 comedy, in which Adam’s character Sonny adopts a five-year-old boy (portrayed by the Sprouse twins) to impress a girl. Thankfully he did not have to go to such great lengths to impress Jackie (née Titone), who had a small role as a sports bar waitress.
It was “love at first sight” according to both halves of the couple, who wed in 2003 and have since welcomed two daughters, Sadie and Sunny, both of whom have followed in their parents Hollywood footsteps.
“Nobody wants to hear about Adam Sandler’s secret to marriage, but I guess here’s the secret: Jackie and I like spending time with each other,” Sandler said in an AARP cover interview back 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.”
