The romance is still very much alive between Adam Sandler and his wife, Jackie Sandler.
Adam, 59, caught up with PEOPLE exclusively at the premiere of his new movie, Jay Kelly, at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles on Nov. 11. During the conversation, the actor shared that he and Jackie, 51, genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
“We're very close. We like to talk, like to laugh, like to have fun, and like to think about things and take care of our kids,” Adam says.
He also shared that he is more grateful than ever for both his career and romantic partnership.
“I'm just more thankful than I've ever been. Happy I got to do this life, happy all the people who've been with me during all this stuff, and helped me out, and [it's] just been a phenomenal time. My whole family's always been great to me. My wife and I talk about stuff, and what to do, and what to do next, and it's just been a very cool life,” he says.
Adam and Jackie, an actress and a producer, met on the set of Big Daddy in 1999 when Jackie portrayed a waitress in the film.

"Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your 'I do' was the best gift of my life," the Murder Mystery 2 actor wrote alongside a throwback photo from the couple's wedding. "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."
Adam continued: "Us. The kids. Let's keep going and going babe. Lots of love to give you. Always."
Jackie recently appeared alongside Adam in Happy Gilmore 2. While talking about the experience to PEOPLE at the film’s premiere in July, Adam said their connection is still undeniable — even when it doesn’t make “sense” for their onscreen counterparts.
“Sometimes it looks a little weird that we're falling in love and it doesn't make sense to our characters,” he explained. “But we do have a nice attraction for each other.”
