For three decades, Adam Sandler has made a name for himself in the entertainment world, but aside from acting, performing and singing, the "Big Daddy" star is also a devoted family man.

The funnyman and his wife Jackie Sandler are parents of two daughters.

When Adam Sandler debuted his new Netflix comedy special in August, Jackie Sandler was by his side at the special's screening in New York City.

In July, the entire Sandler family stepped out on the orange carpet for the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California, where Adam Sandler won an orange blimp for favorite male voice (animation) for his role as Leo the lizard in "Leo."

Adam Sandler's family also joined him at the Los Angeles premiere of his film "Spaceman" in February. The film stars Adam Sandler as an astronaut on a mission to save his marriage.
