“22 years ago today we locked eyes and fell deep,” Adam wrote alongside a throwback image of him and Jackie. “Looking forward to the next 22, young lady. Love you my forever girl.”
She and Adam Have Been Married Since 2003
On June 22, 2003, the couple tied the knot in an outdoor Jewish ceremony at Dick Clark’s oceanfront Malibu estate.

She and Adam Have Two Daughters
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Sadie, in May 2006. Adam announced the newborn’s arrival on his website, writing, “Kid is healthy!! Wife is healthy!!” Jackie and Adam later welcomed a second daughter, Sunny, in November 2008.

She Encouraged Adam to Take the Role in Uncut Gems
Adam was honored with the best actor award for his role in Uncut Gems at the 2020 National Board of Review Gala. But he couldn’t accept all the credit, as it was Jackie who encouraged him to take the role in the first place. “My badass wife, she gave me the balls to take the part,” Adam said of Jackie during the event.
Jackie has become good friends with some of Adam’s famous co-stars, including Jennifer Aniston, who appeared alongside the comedian in Just Go With It and Murder Mystery. Adam revealed that Jackie isn’t bothered by his onscreen romance with Aniston – in fact, she encourages him to give it his all.
