Adam Sandler and Jackie Sandler welcomed their first child on May 6, 2006. Speaking to Access, Adam confessed that he didn’t immediately feel like a big daddy upon Sadie Sandler’s arrival. “When my kid was born, I was so nervous, I didn’t know what I felt,” he said. However, it only took a few minutes for his paternal instincts to kick in. “I had a chemical reaction in my body, where I loved the kid so much,” he recalled.
Adam confessed that he wasn’t big on helping Jackie change nappies, but the Sandman became the Rashman whenever diapers started causing discomfort. “If she asks me to go get that ointment, I run out and get it, but that’s about it man,” he said.

Sandler couldn’t talk about becoming a first-time parent without making a few boob jokes, proving that he was still the crude comedian that his fans know and love. However, we aren’t 100 percent certain he was joking about Sadie having to share her dinner. “Those used to be pops. Not anymore,” he said. “Well, one of them, I tried it out. It was all right.” He also told Blackfilm, “I gotta grow the boobs,” after explaining that his anatomy made it difficult for him to cradle Sadie. But for Adam, fatherhood was about more than having something new to joke about; he said he was happy that his life had become about someone other than himself.
