Adam Sandler credits his wife, Jackie, for their strong bond of 22 years.
The actor attended the November 11 premiere of his new film, Jay Kelly, in Los Angeles when he opened up to the press about his marriage.
“We are very close,” the 59-year-old actor shared People Magazine of his bond with his wife. “We like to talk, like to laugh, like to have fun and like to think about things and take care of our children.”
Sandler added that appreciation for both his career and his relationship has only grown over time. “I’m just more grateful than I’ve ever been,” he shared.
“I’m happy to be allowed to do this life, happy for the people who have been with me through it all. My whole family has always been great to me. My wife and I talk about things, what to do and what’s next, and it’s just been a very cool life.”
Adam and Jackie first met on the set of Big Daddy in 1999, where she appeared in a small role as a waitress.
They married in Malibu in June 2003 and went on to welcome two daughters, including Sadie in 2006 and Sunny in 2008.
Sandler previously marked the anniversary of the day they met with a heartfelt Instagram tribute in 2020, writing: “22 years ago today we locked eyes and fell deep. Looking forward to the next 22 young lady. Love you my forever girl.”
