Adam Sandler has been a comedian and actor for more than 30 years — and for much of that time, he’s also been a committed family man behind the scenes.
Adam married Jackie Sandler in 2003, and the couple welcomed their two daughters, Sadie and Sunny, in 2006 and 2008, respectively. It didn’t take long before Adam started putting both girls in his movies.
“[My daughters] make it look like I’m forcing them to do it,” Adam joked in an October 2020 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “Meanwhile, they were asking me the whole damn year, ‘Can I be in your next movie, Daddy?’”
Sadie and Sunny went on to appear in two of Adam’s 2023 films: You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah and the animated film Leo. In July 2025, the duo also appeared in Happy Gilmore 2 alongside their dad (and with a brief cameo by their mom).
“Once they do it well, nothing feels better as a parent,” Adam shared with E! News before the sequel premiered on Netflix. “It must be like when you’re the parents of a baseball player and you’re at the game and they get a hit. You just go, ‘Thank God.’ It’s just so much relief.”
