Adam Sandler Appears with Rarely-Seen Grown-up Daughter — He’s a Hands-on Dad & Tight with His Kids
- Adam Sandler showed up at the "The Out-Laws" premiere with his wife and daughter in coordinated attire.
- The funny family man recently called his daughters the loves of his and his wife's lives.
- The Sandler sisters have proven to be singing sensations in addition to their acting chops.
Undeterred by the backlash surrounding the so-called 'Nepo Babies,' the children of celebrities who follow their parents into the industry, Adam Sandler has promoted his kids whenever he can.
At the June 26, 2023 premiere of his latest project produced for Netflix, "The Out-Laws," Adam showed up with his wife, Jackie Sandler, and 14-year-old daughter, Sunny Sandler.

Flanked by her parents, the fresh-faced teenager's red carpet look echoed elements of their outfits. Her beachy waves and dewy makeup matched her mother's, making her seem even more like Jackie's clone.

Sunny completed the elegant ensemble with silver stilettoes that helped her gain enough inches to tower over her mom and her pops, who donned bright-laced sneakers.
Also in silk, Jackie coordinated her cowl neckline mini dress with an oversized blazer in the same shade, draped casually over her shoulders.

Jackie accessorized with a hard case clutch from Bottega Veneta and nude heels. Considerably more dressed down than the woman beside him in his slacks and untucked shirt, Adam beamed like a lottery winner.
The matching Sandler clan posed with "The Out-Laws" lead Nina Dobrev. The film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Adam DeVine, and Ellen Barkin. The Sandlers' eldest daughter, Sadie Sandler, 17, was absent.
Sadie and Sunny Are "The True Best Things" and The Love of Adam and Jackie's Lives
The night that Adam met his "forever-girl Jackie" will always be his "favorite night." He first laid eyes on the actress at a birthday party for "Blade" actor Stephen Dorff.
They married four years into their courtship, saying their "I dos" at the Malibu oceanfront home of "American Bandstand" host Dick Clark in 2003.

When picking up the 2023 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center in March, the funnyman said his daughters are "two of the true best things" in their lives:
"They're the love of our lives. The most pride and joy that Jackie and I could ever feel. The life-changers. When they speak, we either laugh, tear up, or stare at them in amazement."
Adam confided that he wished the world could stand still because being with his daughters and wife "was the best life can get." He added that Sadie and Sunny "look like their mama" and have her smarts.
His daughters giggled from the audience when he said they give him confidence every year on his birthday when they gift him "World's Best Farter" T-shirts.

Fatherhood came easy to Sandler, but he admitted that he was very nervous. The moment that changed was a few minutes after she came into the world, and he was alone with her and a nurse.
He felt a "chemical reaction" in his body where he felt so much love for the newborn and felt nervous for her. "… that's when I lost my mind for the kid," Adam disclosed.

"My kids give me the most joy, but there are life adjustments," "The Waterboy" actor said in 2014. "I don't go out to meet anyone after 9:30 at night. I eat dinner at 6 or 7." The self-professed "worrier" added:
"Making sure everyone in the family is OK is the most important thing. If the family hurts, then you hurt."

Sadie and Sunny Have Been in Movies since They Were in Diapers
The Sandlers became first-time parents to Sadie Madison Sandler on May 6, 2006. The "Big Daddy" star smugly told Jay Leno in mid-2007 that he had toppled Jackie as the number one person in their 14-month-old's life.
"She's so sweet and cute, and I love her," Adam gushed. She copied everything he did, including eating broccoli she would not touch before after seeing him chow down on the greens.

Little Sadie adorably stayed up past her bedtime to help her mama announce her second pregnancy in early 2008 by giving her dad the wrapped pregnancy test.
Sunny Madeline Sandler was born on November 2, 2008, and raised in Los Angeles, California, with her big sister. The girls have spent much time hanging out on movie sets, on camera, and off.

Sadie was barely two when she made cameos in her dad's 2008 comedies "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" and "Bedtime Stories."
For her bat mitzvah in 2019, her dad texted in a favor from Adam Levine to perform a set, who agreed and brought along his Maroon 5 bandmate and lead guitarist James Valentine to accompany him.

Her sister Sunny had an equally star-studded coming-of-age party when she turned 13 in 2022, with performances by Halsey and Charlie Puth. Halsey compared the bat mitzvah to Coachella.
The girls have made appearances in a handful of movies like "Jack and Jill," "Blended," "Pixels," "Grown Ups 2," and "Hubie Halloween."
The Sanders sisters' voice talent extends beyond contributions to the "Hotel Transylvania" trilogy. During one of his gigs in 2019, Adam gave the audience a treat by letting Sunny perform "A Million Dreams" from the "The Greatest Showman" soundtrack.

His daughters performed one of their favorite songs together, Taylor Swift's "Lover," at an October 2022 charity event at the end of 2022. Celebrities like Elizabeth Olsen and Courteney Cox were in the audience who gave them a standing ovation.
Sadie and Sunny made their voices heard in another way a month later when they wrote Adam's acceptance speech for the 2022 Gotham Awards' Film Tribute Award.
When they asked to pen the speech, he teased that it would be nice to see them do something other than watching videos on YouTube or hanging out at the mall.
