Adam Sandler reveals the secret to his 22-year 'very special' marriage to wife Jackie who appears in ALL his films
The 58-year-old actor and his wife, 50, are still enjoying their 'very special' marriage over two decades together, and their secret to their success.
This comes shortly after fans expressed surprise as they are just only realizing that his longtime wife had appeared alongside him in more than 20 of his movies.
Their teenage daughters, 19-year-old Sadie and 16-year-old Sunny, have also already been about a dozen of his best works too.
'They have great chemistry,' a source told People on Wednesday. 'They really enjoy each other's company.'
The insider said that Adam and Jackie spend quality time together with low-key dates at home or evenings out with friends.
The source said that the couple 'keep a tight social circle with longtime friends' and 'their idea of a perfect night is dinner with friends or a movie night at home.'
Sandler's wife and their daughters also star alongside him in his new Netflix comedy Happy Gilmore 2.
The longtime couple first met on the set of his comedy Big Daddy back in 1999. After four years of dating, they tied the knot in 2003.
Since then, the pair have kept their personal life mostly private but work together on film projects.
In 2006, they became parents when they welcomed their daughter Sadie, and their youngest child Sunny three years later.
Adam and Jackie's two daughters Sadie and Sunny both play roles in his latest movie.
His wife also plays a ballet instructor in his production of the Happy Gilmore sequel.
'Ever since the girls were born, Jackie has always said how lucky she feels and what a great dad Adam is,' the source said. 'Their marriage is very special.'
The Uncut Gems star also recently spoke about the connection he shares with his wife.

At the premiere of the movie, he gushed about his wife, their kids and how his life has changed for the better since he made the first film, which premiered in theaters back in 1996.
'I got kids. I got a wife that knows me forever, and we click and we have a nice love affair going on,' he told Entertainment Tonight.
'That's where I'm at right now. I'm smarter in some ways and probably dumber in others.'
At the same event, he also told People about how much he and his wife click with each other.
'My wife and I have a nice — when we make eye contact, we lock in, so we use that when we're acting,' he added.
'Sometimes it looks a little weird that we're falling in love and it doesn't make sense to our characters. But we do have a nice attraction for each other.'

ESPN analyst accuses Travis Kelce of lying about his response to February's crushing Super Bowl loss
ESPN radio host Freddie Coleman has accused Chiefs star Travis Kelce of lying about his reaction to February's brutal Super Bowl defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City's championship loss saw the denial of a historic three-peat with Kelce and his squad outclassed for the entire contest. Kelce was somber about the defeat in the moments after but appeared to turn a new leaf during Chiefs' training camp. The 35-year-old leaving that defeat in the past appeared fishy for Coleman, who outright does not believe the words coming out of the future Hall of Famer's mouth. 'I really don't believe him, that he just threw that in the trash that quickly because its one thing to go for a three-peat and you don't get it,' Coleman said. 'But then to have the stones beaten out of you like that by the Philadelphia Eagles, he can that say he processed that in the trash compactor all he wants. He still smells it a little bit in the trash compactor when you get beat like that.' 'I believe what he's saying in terms of you gotta flush that and move past it because you can't do anything about it. But to say that he's forgotten about it or doesn't think that much about it. I don't know if I'm buying that from the artist formerly known as Travis Kelce, the Chiefs tight end.' Coleman stated Kelce's comments about the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles were not factual Coleman has been with ESPN since 2004, lending his voice to sports radio for the last two decades on the company's airwaves. Kelce's original comments come after a more low-key offseason where instead of traveling the world to follow girlfriend Taylor Swift on her 'Eras Tour', and pick up plenty of media opportunities, such as being the host of Prime Video's 'Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?', he focused on his own health primarily. Eyewitnesses, including Kansas City coach Andy Reid, believe Kelce is coming into the 2025 season in phenomenal shape, when he may have been resting on his laurels more than anticipated last season. Kelce, by many metrics, did not have a bad 2024, as he was still one of the best tight ends in the NFL. He just did not continue the form he showed to place him among the best to ever play the position. Even if Kelce is primed to have a dominant year, Coleman still does not believe he removed the chip on his shoulder from that Super Bowl loss in New Orleans.

Denise Richards' daughter Sami Sheen models VERY skimpy lingerie... after sharing she was 'almost sex trafficked'
Reality TV dynamo Sami Sheen posted a pinup photo to Instagram on Wednesday evening. The 21-year-old daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, was wearing racy ruby red lingerie. The OnlyFans content creator modeled the little bra and underwear with a diamond belly piercing while sitting on her bed that had white sheets at her home in Los Angeles. With her highlighted hair worn down and her makeup beautifully done, she looked ready for a photo shoot as she put one of the arms of her black glasses up to her lips. The photo was part of a large post that update her followers on what she has been up to this month. This comes after Sheen claimed she 'almost got sex-trafficked' while spending time with a friend. The budding star recounted the incident in a TikTok video. She said: 'The second I saw this man I had the worst feeling in my stomach, like get the f*** away from me right now.' Sami added the incident took place late on Monday evening while she and a friend were taking photos in a restaurant parking lot after midnight. She said a man approached them asking for money – adding: 'We were at this restaurant pretty late. We didn't leave until midnight and we were outside taking photos in the parking lot, we were there for five minutes. 'Out of nowhere, this man came up to us asking for money. I said, "Sorry, I don't have any cash on me."' Sami said the man became 'persistent' despite her response. 'I'm like, "Sorry, no," and he goes, "OK have a good night,"' she continued. But she claimed a second man immediately approached them after the first walked away. 'He starts to reach into his back pocket and I reach into my purse and pull out my pepper spray,' Sami said – adding: 'I open that b**** and he saw that and he started to pull a card out.' Sami said she and her friend ran to their car and locked themselves inside. The influencer added she later reviewed photos they had taken and noticed the man had been 'watching us the whole time'. She said: 'Even if it was harmless, it's better to be safe than sorry even though I don't think he had good intentions at all.' Sami urged her followers to 'trust your gut' and said: 'I'm usually very aware of my surroundings and I didn't notice this man.' Her story emerged as her mother Denise Richards, 54, was photographed with what appeared to be a black eye, days after a confrontation with her estranged husband Aaron Phypers, 52. Aaron filed for divorce from Denise on 7 July following what was described as an explosive argument on the Fourth of July. Denise, best known for films such as Wild Things, was granted a temporary restraining order against Aaron after accusing him of physical abuse. Aaron has denied the allegations and accused Denise of being addicted to Vicodin and alcohol. He also alleged Denise had an affair with her Special Forces: World's Toughest Test co-star Rudy Reyes, 53.

Don't let your children see this deranged horror film
Weapons concocts a mystery – in the manner of, say, Twin Peaks or Donnie Darko – that you're not sure it even intends to solve. Seventeen schoolchildren, all classmates somewhere in woodsy Illinois, vanish simultaneously into the night. Why? As it happens, a surprisingly tidy explanation is in the post, along with plenty of red herrings. And the answer could hardly be more macabre. At first, the film is an eerie suburban drama, shuffling between rival points of view. There's Justine (Julia Garner), the rabbit-in-the-headlights teacher who can't understand why all but one of her pupils – and only hers – bolted out of their homes at 2.17am. Archer (Josh Brolin), head of a construction company, is the father of one missing boy, and a fuming spokesman who wants Justine grilled to a crisp. Someone graffities the word 'WITCH' on her car – a misplaced accusation, we assume, but also a clue. Each reel layers on more characters, subplots, and grislier shocks. As things ramp up, you won't predict which person comes roaring, terrifyingly bug-eyed, after Justine, or who head-butts whom to death in their kitchen. Writer-director Zach Cregger proved with Barbarian (2022) – his earlier shocker about a nightmarish Airbnb mix-up – a skill with narrative switchbacks that makes him the Tarantino of the current horror wave. By now, we may even be able to forgive his film debut, the loathsome sex comedy Miss March (2009). Mass child disappearance probably sounds like an off-puttingly bleak premise. But Cregger's diorama of these townsfolk – which he says was inspired by Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia – is also addictive and wittily sketched, packing in heaps of petty rage. So it never gets as doomy, or simply depressing, as you might fear. Justine's ex Paul (a rock-solid Alden Ehrenreich) is a neurotic cop with a drinking problem, who's too busy chasing a larcenous drug addict (twitchy Austin Abrams) to solve anything on purpose. Since every tale of child abduction needs its Pennywise – the clown demon from Stephen King's IT – we get an equivalent before long. The trick Weapons nails is engaging us even when we're unsure if it's going off on mad tangents – with Brolin on fierce form as our resident conspiracy theorist, and Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck) being fabulously deranged as the bewigged great-aunt of Alex (Cary Christopher), the lone left-behind child. Barbarian peaked in the middle as we tunnelled into its hellscape. Weapons manages to keep its powder dry – a feat of crafty editing by Joe Murphy – for a knockout finale that's twisted, hilarious and savage, all at once. It has the matter-of-fact logic of the darkest fairytales, showing us how the rules work simply by showing them in action. You would hardly call it child's play, but the Roald-Dahl-ness of the payoff is fiendishly satisfying. 18 cert, 128 min. Weapons is in cinemas 8 August
