Watch Travis Kelce’s Viral Netflix Cameo in Happy Gilmore 2
A Sequel 29 Years in the Making
Watch Travis Kelce’s viral Netflix cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 as the beloved golf comedy makes its big return nearly 30 years after the original won over fans worldwide. Adam Sandler reprises his iconic role, but this time, the sequel adds unexpected charm—from surprise athlete cameos to heartfelt family appearances, including Sandler’s real-life daughters.
What sets this sequel apart isn‘t nostalgia or just comedy. It‘s the sense of development of character and actor. Adam Sandler today is not just the ‘90s goofball. He‘s a husband, father, producer, Netflix mogul, and somebody whose daughters are now entering into the fray.
Let‘s step into Sandler‘s world—from his $500 million fortune to his mannerisms, his 22-year union, and the growing presence of the Adam Sandler daughters in Hollywood.
Adam & Jackie Sandler: A Hollywood Love Story That Endures
Hollywood marriages are not usually synonymous with longevity, but Adam and Jackie Sandler are a beacon exception.
The two first crossed paths in 1999 while filming Big Daddy, a comedy in which Adam played the role of a guy who unwittingly becomes responsible for the well-being of a child, and Jackie had a cameo as a waitress. Jackie Sandler was a model before taking the switch to acting. That single cameo changed both their lives forever.
They married in 2003 in a Malibu ceremony with Jennifer Aniston and other A-list celebrities present, including Sandler‘s longtime friend and regular co-star. Twenty years later, they‘re still around. To mark their 20th anniversary, Adam posted on Instagram:
“Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your ‘I do‘ was the best present of my life. My heart has been yours since that very first second I laid eyes on you… Us. The kids. Let‘s keep going and going, babe.”
Their love inspires his films still—Jackie has appeared in over 15 of Adam‘s movies, usually in small, humorous roles, a tradition that fans now look forward to and enjoy.
Meet the Adam Sandler Daughters: Sadie and Sunny
Sadie Sandler – The Older Sister Stepping Into the Spotlight
Sadie Sandler, who is now 19 years old, born in 2006, had already appeared in a couple of her father’s films, including Grown Ups, Blended, Pixels, and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023). She also provided voiceover for the Hotel Transylvania series.
She has talked more and more about getting into acting and playing music, and sources near the family state that she‘s taken voice lessons and screenwriting classes. In Happy Gilmore 2, she has a supporting but dramatic role that surprised fans with its maturity and sophistication.
Sunny Sandler – The Younger Star with Natural Comic Timing
Sunny, born in 2009 and currently 16, plays a larger role in Happy Gilmore 2—as the daughter of the character in the film. It‘s a circular role that blurs fantasy and reality in a profoundly emotional way.
Fans initially noticed Sunny‘s charm and talent in her prior appearances in Jack and Jill, Hubie Halloween, and the previously mentioned Bat Mitzvah movie. Sunny‘s timing for comedies and assurance on screen has caught the attention of casting directors and Hollywood professionals.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2024, Adam joked:
“They make it sound like I‘m coercing them. Meanwhile, all year they‘re harassing me: ‘Dad, can I be in your next movie?'”
The chemistry is genuine, loving, and sincere—another carryover of Adam‘s on-screen persona as father and creative collaborator.
What to Expect from Happy Gilmore 2
Adam Sandler returns as Happy Gilmore—older, slightly wiser, but still hilariously hot-headed. The sequel brings together a blend of old faces and new cameos, including:
- Travis Kelce (as a waiter)
- Verne Lundquist, Dan Patrick, and Stephen A. Smith as themselves
- Kelsey Plum, Boban Marjanović, Paige Spiranac, and John Daly
- Golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler
The film balances sports comedy with personal growth—Happy now has kids of his own, and that evolution is mirrored by the real Sandler family on set.
Full Cameo List in Happy Gilmore 2
The Sandlercore Phenomenon
Adam Sandler‘s costume is an act of culture unto itself. At the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere, he sported his now-famous ensemble: Hawaiian print shirt, basketball shorts, tube socks, and sneakers. While wife Jackie dressed in a sleek black dress, Adam went whole hog with what the internet has dubbed “Sandlercore.”.
Even Vogue called him once “the unofficial ambassador of pandemic style,” declaring his relaxed style to be a sign of the spread of comfort-driven dressing.
Wherever he goes, whether on the red carpet or shopping for groceries in L.A., Sandler dresses like a guy who never left the pickup court—and that‘s just the reason why everyone loves him.
Net Worth: How Adam Sandler Became a Netflix Powerhouse
Sandler’s partnership with Netflix has been one of the most successful streaming deals in history. In 2020, he signed a deal for four films reportedly worth over $250 million, cementing his reputation as a financial juggernaut in the entertainment world.
As of 2025, Adam Sandler’s net worth is estimated at over $500 million, according to Forbes. His production company, Happy Madison, has produced over 30 films and is responsible for major Netflix hits like:
- Murder Mystery (with Jennifer Aniston)
- Hubie Halloween
- You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah
- The Ridiculous 6
Beyond acting, he also earns from writing, producing, and voice work.
Life Beyond Hollywood
Despite his A-list membership, Adam Sandler has been pretty down-to-earth. He‘s always out doing everyday dad-geek stuff—taking his kids home from school, officiating basketball games, or getting fro-yo in L.A. hoods.
On talk shows, he hasn’t been afraid to speak several times about how much his wife and daughters influence his choices these days. He‘s turned down big-boy action films for movies where he gets to hang around with family.
The reward? A decades-long career, but one that has never lost its soul.
Final Thoughts: A Family Man First, A Movie Star Second
Happy Gilmore 2 is a comedy sequel, but it also feels like an homage to Adam Sandler‘s career path—from SNL dufus to Hollywood leading man, from husband to proud father of two talented daughters.
As Sadie and Sunny Sandler continue to grow their own identities in the industry, it’s clear this isn’t just Adam’s legacy anymore—it’s a family one.
