HOLLYWOOD, CA — Adam Sandler isn’t exactly shy when it comes to talking about his long-running marriage to his wife, Jackie—more than 22 years and counting. But when he was recently asked if he had any advice for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift following their engagement, Sandler kept it simple: no advice necessary.
Why? Because in Sandler’s eyes, Kelce’s already doing just fine.

“He loves her more than anything,” Sandler said, comparing Kelce’s devotion to Swift to the love he shares with his own wife. “Just like I love my wife more than anything.”
That’s not just a throwaway celebrity soundbite—Sandler’s words came off as genuine, the kind of answer that says more through humility than it does with over-the-top declarations. He went on to explain his outlook on relationships, hinting that the secret isn’t complicated.
It's not about offering the perfect romantic advice or forcing picture-perfect moments. At the end of the day, it’s about being real with each other—something he believes Kelce and Swift are already nailing.
“To be happy together, be yourself together,” Sandler said. “That’s where they’re at. And that’s where me and my girl are at.”
What might surprise some fans is how close Sandler is with both Swift and Kelce. Back in July, he spoke about his friendship with the pop icon and her relationship with his family—especially his daughters.
And it doesn’t stop with Swift. Sandler also made a point to shout out Kelce, the All-Pro tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, for his down-to-earth personality—calling him a “gentle, nice guy” who feels like someone he would’ve grown up with.
“He’s like the guys I grew up with,” Sandler said. “When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”
Those words carry weight, especially from someone like Sandler, who has made a career out of portraying the kind of friend you’d want in your corner—goofy, loyal, and real to the core.
Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, continue to mix their very public lives with moments of surprising normalcy. Just recently, for the first time after announcing their engagement in August, Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium cheering Kelce on during the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup against the Ravens. But this wasn’t some red-carpet moment—Swift showed up incognito, blending in with the crowd, focused on the game and her guy.
There’s a lot of glitz surrounding their relationship, but if you ask Sandler, what really matters is what’s happening behind the scenes: two people supporting each other, being themselves.
In the end, maybe that's all the advice they need.
