adam sandler may be one of hollywood's
most bankable actors
but many don't realize that the funny
man has been happily married to his wife
jackie since 2003. while you may not
recognize her name
you'll likely recognize her face this is
the untold truth of adam sandler's wife
it was the late 90s and jacqueline de
tony was an aspiring actress who had
just landed her first role on the big
screen
playing sally in juice bigelow 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 his pal adam
sandler schneider not only helped jackie
snack her follow-up role
which saw her playing a waitress in
1999's big daddy but he also
unknowingly introduced her to her future
husband the part was another small cameo
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 they reportedly didn't waste any
time taking their relationship to the
next level
in 2000 just one year after jackie began
dating adam sandler
the aspiring actress decided to convert
to judaism
jackie is of italian heritage and was
raised christian so this was the first
major step in the couple's journey
toward tying the knot
which they did on june 22nd 2003
in a star-studded jewish ceremony held
at dick clark's mansion in malibu
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
the movie star said i'm proud of being a
jew and that's what i
am i get that from my father and mother
since meeting adam sandler on the set of
1999's big daddy
jackie sandler has gone on to have small
roles in most of her husband's films
solidifying herself as the ultimate
queen of cameos
over the years she's appeared in
numerous sandler movies
including 2000's little nikki 2004's 50
first dates
2010's grown-ups 2013's grownups too
2014's blended and 2019's murder mystery
jackie also scored a reoccurring part on
cbs's ill-fated series kevin can wait
but she's never quite broken out into
the mainstream not that she seems to
mind
in fact cameos have become somewhat of a
sandler family tradition
adam and jackie's two kids daughters
sadie and sonny have also appeared in
several of their father's movies
with both featuring in the netflix movie
sandy wexler opposite their parents
and then my kid goes that's okay daddy
you tried your best
when you're an actor kissing your
co-stars is just a part of the job
jackie sandler most definitely
understands that her husband might be
kissing beautiful women
on screen and actually happens to be
supportive of it
in 2014 when ellen degeneres asked adam
sandler what his wife thought of his
repeated love scenes with frequent
collaborator drew barrymore he
surprisingly responded
the best thing is that my wife loves
drew so much that she like encourages me
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 romance department
adam revealed that while on the set of
blended jackie gave him feedback about a
romantic scene he just filmed with
barrymore
and said just please for the sake of
women get in there and just look a
little more alive
in 2019's netflix movie murder mystery
adam sandler and friends superstar
jennifer aniston play a married couple
while jackie has a cameo as a 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 she wants me to go harder she
wants me to see what
she wants me to go harder with the
kissing she loves aniston
if there's one thing adam sandler is
known for it's his 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 funny man
opened up about his surprise decision on
the ellen degeneres show
revealing that it was his wife jackie
sandler who convinced him to take a
chance in a more serious role on the big
screen
adam confessed i read it and i loved the
movie but i was scared to do it 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 upon its release in
december 2019
uncut gems got rave reviews and oscar
buzz sadly adam didn't get an academy
award nomination for his performance
but he did take home the independent
spirit award for best male lead
and it seems that he has his wife to
thank for that
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 dollars
and 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
plus 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 dollars
although the couple allegedly briefly
split up in 2000 due to a disagreement
over a prenup
we wouldn't be surprised if jackie is
entitled to a part of adam's earnings
the actor has been known to earn a base
salary of 20 million dollars per movie
and also takes home about a quarter of
each flick's gross profits
he also made a 250 million production
deal with netflix which was extended in
2017.
basically the sandlers seem to be very
happily married and
making bank together talk about
relationship goals
