Adam Sandler may be one of Hollywood's most bankable actors, but many don't realize that the funnyman's personal life is equally impressive. He and wife Jacqueline Sandler (née Titone) have been married since 2003, have two kids together, and enjoy a stellar relationship. While you may not recognize her name, you'll likely recognize her face.

Born in Coral Springs, Jackie attended Stoneman Douglas High School in her home state of Florida before she tried her luck as a model, landing various campaigns and earning "about five grand a day for fashion shoots," according to the Sun Sentinel. She then set her sights on Hollywood. The former cheerleader landed her first movie role in 1999 and has been working steadily ever since — thanks in large part to her famous husband. In return, the actress has inspired some of the biggest moments of his life and career. 

We bring you the untold truth of Adam Sandler's wife.

It was the late '90s and Jacqueline Titone was an aspiring actress who had just landed her first role on the big screen, playing Sally in "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo." It was by no means a major part, but she obviously made an impression on the film's star, Rob Schneider, as he soon recommended her for another gig.

Putting in a good word to pal Adam Sandler, Schneider not only helped Jackie snag her follow-up role — playing a waitress in 1999's "Big Daddy" — but he also unknowingly introduced her to her future husband. The part was another small cameo (Jackie serves Adam's character and his son a root beer at a sports bar) and it didn't lead to superstardom, but it did change the rest of her life.

Jackie and the "Billy Madison" star were an item by the time the flick hit theaters that June, and, according to Good Housekeeping, they didn't waste any time taking their relationship to the next level...

In 2000 — just one year after Jackie and Adam Sandler had begun dating — the aspiring actress, who is of Italian heritage and was raised Christian, decided to convert to Judaism. Not unlike the likes of Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen's marriage, this was the first major step in the couple's journey toward tying the knot, which they did on June 22, 2003, in a star-studded Jewish ceremony held at Dick Clark's mansion in Malibu, according to People.

Over the years, Adam has spoken openly about his faith and how important it is to him. During a 2015 appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" (via the Jewish Journal), the movie star declared to the shock jock, "I'm proud of being a Jew and that's what I am, I get that from my father and mother. I'm very pro-Israel." Judaism has even made it into some of his most famous comedy routines, namely SNL's "The Hanukkah Song." Dubbed "an unabashed expression of Jewish pride" by The Times of Israel, the media outlet noted, "It makes Jewish ethnicity 'cool' by identifying it with secular cultural heroes."

Since meeting Adam Sandler on the set of 1999's "Big Daddy," wife Jackie Sandler has gone on to appear in bit parts in most of her husband's films, solidifying herself as the ultimate queen of cameos. Over the years, she's played Jenna in 2000's "Little Nicky," a dentist in 2004's "50 First Dates," Tardio's wife in 2010's "Grown Up"s, a Hollywood Stepmom in 2014's "Blended," a "Great Looking Flight Attendant" in 2019's "Murder Mystery," and many, many more.

Yes, Jackie's had a few other roles along the way, including a recurring part on CBS' ill-fated series "Kevin Can Wait," and a one-off appearance on "The Goldbergs," but this actress has never quite broken out into the mainstream. Not that she seems to mind. In fact, cameos have become a Sandler family affair. Adam and Jackie's two kiddos, daughters Sadie and Sunny, have also appeared in several of their father's movies. Sadie, for example, was cast in Hotel Transylvania and Murder Mystery, while Sunny had cameos in "Grown Ups" and "Jack and Jill."

When you're an actor, kissing your co-stars sometimes comes with the territory. Jackie Sandler sure understands that and actually happens to be supportive of husband Adam Sandler's on-screen romances.

When Ellen DeGeneres asked Adam what his wife thought of his repeated love scenes with frequent collaborator Drew Barrymore back in 2014, his response was not exactly what you might expect. "The best thing is that my wife loves Drew so much that she like encourages me," he replied. "There's no jealousy at all. She's just like, 'Get in there!'" In fact, Jackie is known to let her movie star hubby know when he's not convincing enough in the on-screen romance department. Adam went on to recall a scolding he received from Jackie on the set of "Blended," as she told him, "Just please, for the sake of women, get in there and just look a little more alive."

Luckily, none of that support has worn off with time. In 2019's "Murder Mystery," Adam Sandler and "Friends" alum, Jennifer Aniston play a married couple, while Jackie has a cameo appearance (of course) as the so-called "Great Looking Flight Attendant." When asked about working with his real-life wife next to his on-screen wife, Adam told the Associated Press, "The only awkward part is hearing my wife on the side going, 'Harder! Harder! Kiss her harder! Deeper!'"

If there's one thing Adam Sandler is known for, it's his (admittedly not always successful) comedy. But in 2019, he took fans by surprise when he signed on to play a gambling addict in the crime drama, "Uncut Gems." The legendary funnyman opened up about his surprise decision on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that December, revealing that it was his wife, Jackie Sandler, who convinced him to take a chance on the big screen.

"I read it, [and] I loved the movie, but I was scared to do it," Adam confessed. "Then I asked Jackie to read it. We do this together, me and Jackie, we discuss what I'm going to do, and she gives me strength and courage to jump into this stuff." Long story short: Jackie read the script, loved it, and told her husband he simply had to accept the role — and so he did.

Since its release in December 2019, "Uncut Gems" has garnered rave reviews and Oscar buzz. So, it might be all thanks to Jackie if Adam ends up being nominated (or even takes home) for his first-ever Academy Award.

Despite the fact that her acting resume is mostly made up of small cameo roles, Jackie Sandler's net worth is reportedly an impressive $50 million. Where does all of this wealth come from? According to Celebrity Net Worth, husband Adam Sandler might be the main source of her income.

For starters, Jackie is likely being paid for her work in all of Adam's films. What's more, the couple reportedly owns a handful of luxury properties, including a $13 million mansion in Los Angeles, a $3.1 million home in Malibu, plus others in New York, New Hampshire, and Hawaii.

Last but not least, simply being married to Adam likely affords Jackie a portion of his overall wealth, which is estimated to be a whopping $420 million. Although the married pair allegedly briefly split in 2000 due to a disagreement over a prenup, we wouldn't be surprised if Jackie is entitled to part of Adam's earnings, which has come from an unprecedented contract with Sony Pictures (he has been known to earn a base salary of $20 million per film, plus about a quarter of each flick's gross profits) and a $250 million production deal with Netflix, which was extended in 2017. 

There's no doubt about it: the Sandlers are happily married and making bank together. Talk about relationship goals.

Jackie Sandler has appeared in several of her husband Adam Sandler's films over the years, including as a waitress in "Big Daddy," a dentist in "50 First Dates," and the president's assistant in "Pixels." Interestingly, she's never been cast as his on-screen wife. Still, that hasn't stopped the pair from fluttering their eyelashes at each other if the script requires it or not.

"... When we make eye contact, we lock in, so we use that when we're acting," Adam explained to People while on the red carpet premiere of "Happy Gilmore 2" in 2025 before acknowledging that the practice might occasionally leave audiences feeling a little confused.

"Sometimes it looks a little weird that we're falling in love and it doesn't make sense to our characters," Adam admitted while promoting the golfing comedy sequel in which Jackie plays a dance instructor. "But we do have a nice attraction for each other ..."

Jackie Sandler enjoys giving happy news in unorthodox ways. In the summer of 2008, the ex-model discovered she was pregnant with their second child. But instead of simply stating that they were about to become proud parents again, she decided to take the visual approach.

"I came home at night and [Jackie] kept saying 'Sadie wants to give you a present,' and normally Sadie falls asleep around eight," Adam explained during an interview on "Live with Regis and Kelly" (via People). "It was like quarter of nine and I just got back from working. And I said 'I'll be in, in a minute.' And she's like, 'But Sadie wants to give ...' 'Alright, alright,' and I didn't know what was going on."

"The Waterboy" star then revealed how his firstborn handed him a gift which, when he opened, revealed a pregnancy test. "... And I was like 'Woowww," he added, referring to the moment he finally discovered the life-changing event. Five months later, their daughter, Sunny, entered the world. "Everyone is happy and healthy," Adam confirmed on social media at the time (via Glamour), wisely opting for a direct way of supplying information.

In 2023, Adam Sandler was awarded one of the most prestigious accolades a comedian can receive, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. And while the likes of Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, and practically every other funnyman from the "Saturday Night Live" graduates' generation took to the stage to pay tribute, it was his wife Jackie Sandler who ultimately stole the show.

"I would like to celebrate the real Adam," Jackie said in her speech at Washington's Kennedy Center (via People). "The Pepto Bismol-chugging ... air conditioning-blasting ... backyard-peeing ... disrupter. And, yes, he's just as funny in real life as he is in the movies ..."

That may well be, but it appears as though Adam isn't the only joker in the Sandler household, as Jackie proved with her following quip. "And he's just as good in bed as you've all imagined for so long. Adam, whether you're awake or not, it's always fantastic." The former model concluded (via Entertainment Weekly) with a more heartfelt sentiment, "Family comes first, that's definitely our way."

In 2023, Adam Sandler celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with a gushing Instagram post dedicated to his wife. "Your 'I do' was the best gift of my life," the "Funny People" star declared about Jackie Sandler. "My heart has been yours since the first second I saw you and I love and appreciate your devoted soul more and more each day ..." It was further evidence that the Sandlers have one of the more stable marriages in Hollywood. So what's their secret?

In an interview with AARP the year before, Adam revealed that the key to their long-lasting relationship is pretty simple: they simply make an effort to spend time with each other. And they enjoy doing so, too!

"We try to make each other laugh, try to listen, try to include each other, try to support each other," Adam added in a chat, which may well have had many readers taking notes. "We try our best — that's all. And we don't ever think of not being together. We always talk about our future together."

Adam Sandler is known for his casual fashion, often rolling up to film premieres wearing nothing fancier than a hoodie and jeans. Even during his cameo at the 2025 Academy Awards, he couldn't be bothered to dress up. Luckily, his wife Jackie Sandler has no problem with his relaxed sense of style.

In an interview with People, Adam recalled, "Even when we were young, others would say, 'Would you put on something better than that? Your wife's dressed so beautifully.' My wife would say, 'He's comfortable like that. Let him do that. Leave him alone.'"

Although Jackie may be on board with Adam's fashion choices, she's still a little baffled as to how her partner has become something of a sartorial icon. "It's funny as hell," the "Little Nicky" star added about his unlikely new status. "And whenever one of my kids or their friends talks to me about it ... my wife's like, 'What the hell are we talking about right now? How did that happen?'"

Jackie and Adam Sandler might not yet have played romantic interests on the big screen. But they've sure made up for it elsewhere. In fact, they appear to be getting more amorous the longer their marriage.

Indeed, they've made headlines several times in 2025 for public displays of affection, smooching on the red carpets of both the premiere of golfing comedy "Happy Gilmore 2" and musical extravaganza "SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert." But their most committed show of passion came five years earlier sketch for "Saturday Night Live."

While guesting on Pete Davidson's quarantine-themed ditty titled "Stuck in the House," Adam can initially be seen swerving all physical contact with Jackie while singing, "My wife tried to kiss me, I straight up denied her/ Miss the NBA and I miss Rob Schneider." But the "Anger Management" actor soon gives into his lust and the Sandlers are later spotted making out on the sofa like no one was watching.

Having shared top billing in "Just Go With It" and two installments of Netflix's "Murder Mystery" series, it's little surprise to learn that Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are firm friends in real life. You might not know that the former Mrs. Brad Pitt has also become friends with her regular co-star's wife.

In fact, Aniston and Jackie Sandler will often join forces to help Adam achieve his true potential, as he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021. "[Jennifer] and my wife have a nice time tag-teaming to try to make me a healthier human being. Like, they want me to stretch more — eventually be able to touch my toes, which I'm about nine inches away from." He's also revealed that his off-screen partner will regularly hang out at his on-screen partner's house, particularly for pizza nights.

And Jackie, who's also encouraged Adam to be at his best when kissing Aniston on screen, regularly proves her BFF credentials on Mother's Day. Indeed, in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, the "Friends" favorite, who has suffered from infertility issues, revealed that despite having no kids of her own, the Sandlers will always send her flowers on the holiday.

Although little is known about Jackie Sandler's upbringing or her family tree, we do know, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, that she's estranged from her dad and that he has quite the backstory.

Indeed, Joseph Tilton used to be an upstanding member of society and a lawyer. Between 1983 and 1988, he was a democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives' 98th district. But as he got older, things appear to have gone seriously awry.

In 2021, Tilton took a loaded gun into a courthouse, concealing the weapon in his suitcase. And this wasn't the first time that he'd been in trouble with the law, either. He'd also been given four years' probation and a 12-month suspended jail sentence after pleading guilty to unlawful compensation and perjury, offenses which resulted in him being subsequently disbarred from the legal profession.
