Their red carpet appearance came after Adam’s nomination for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for his Netflix special, “Adam Sandler: Love You.”
Although the award ultimately went to Ali Wong for her hit special, “Ali Wong: Single Lady,” Adam’s red carpet moment with Jackie stole the show, winning over online fans.

Another joked, “Adam cleans up nice. I wonder if Jennifer Aniston bought that suit.” Comments like this are nothing new for the Sandlers.
In August last year, Jackie turned heads at a Netflix screening as fans couldn’t help but point out how much she resembles the “Friends” actress.

Jackie opted for a sleek black mini dress with a V-neckline, accentuating her chic style. Her straight brown hair fell naturally past her shoulders, and she added a touch of flair with leopard-print heels. But what really caught the public’s eye was her resemblance to Jennifer Aniston.

Amid netizens’ reactions, Jackie’s connection to Jennifer extends beyond their resemblance. In a 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer shared that Jackie and Adam send her flowers every Mother’s Day.

The gesture was particularly meaningful, given Jennifer’s openness about her fertility struggles and her journey toward making peace with not having children. Jackie’s supportive nature, however, didn’t stop there—it extended to another actress as well.

During a 2014 appearance on “The Ellen Show,” Adam revealed that his wife was also a big fan of his on-screen chemistry with Drew Barrymore. He shared that Jackie even encouraged him to be more romantic during their scenes.

“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,” Adam said. Drew confirmed this, adding, “If you’re not being romantic enough, she will, like, berate you behind camera [sic].”
Adam humorously recalled a moment during filming in Africa with Drew when Jackie urged him to put more effort into a romantic scene, saying, “Just, please, for the sake of women, get in there and just look a little more alive.”
While Jackie often supports her husband’s on-screen romances and shines on the red carpet herself, she’s not the only one in the family drawing attention. In February 2024, their daughters, Sadie and Sunny, also made headlines.
The Sandlers attended the premiere of Netflix’s “Spaceman,” where Adam, Jackie, and their daughters turned heads, further boosting the family’s visibility in the public eye.

Adam wore a suit, Sunny donned a cheetah-printed dress, and Sadie rocked a black mini-dress. Jackie, in a black gown with a butterfly-shaped bodice and styled dirty-blond hair, looked so youthful that it led to the netizens’ confusion.
After the photos were shared online, fans were surprised, with some commenting that Jackie looked so youthful they mistook her for one of Adam’s daughters. “I thought he had 3 daughters at first!” another said.

Amidst this admiration, the proud dad shared his thoughts about what lay ahead for his daughters. “My wife and I go to sleep talking about the girls. They have so much ahead, and I feel nervous for them, excited for them. As a parent, you just want to make sure your kids are OK when it’s time for them to take off,” shared Adam in an interview.

Adam and Jackie, also an actress, met on the set of the 1999 film “Big Daddy.” They tied the knot in June 2003 and have since welcomed two daughters, further solidifying their strong family bond.

The couple’s 2025 Golden Globes appearance served as yet another reminder of the love and admiration they continue to share.
