What happened between Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider?
Despite the political drift that has separated many Hollywood friendships, Schneider’s bond with Adam Sandler appears solid. Schneider told People (celebrity news magazine) in August 2024 that Sandler calls him every week. “There hasn’t been a week in 30 years where Adam hasn’t checked in on me,” Schneider said. They first met in the 1980s while both were working to become comedians, and first starred together in The Waterboy (1998).
Do Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider still get along?
- Schneider confirmed in a Yahoo News UK (news syndication) interview that Sandler “supports him for who I am” and they do not discuss politics.
- Sandler has remained relatively reserved about his own political stance, according to Newsweek (news magazine).
- There is no public feud; speculation that Sandler shares Schneider’s Trump alignment lacks evidence, Newsweek reported in 2022.
“Adam doesn’t have to share my views. He supports me for who I am.”

Schneider’s most durable Hollywood relationship survives precisely because both men keep politics off the table — a strategy Sandler has maintained for decades.
The implication: The friendship is not just surviving but thriving, built on a foundation laid long before politics entered the picture.
Is Rob Schneider a Trump supporter?
Yes. Schneider publicly endorsed Donald Trump in August 2024, shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign, according to Wikipedia (online encyclopedia). He posted his support on X (formerly Twitter), a platform where he maintains an active presence.
What are Rob Schneider’s political views?
- Schneider has been a vocal advocate for Trump, facing backlash from fans and some peers, Yahoo News UK reported.
- His MAGA alignment became more visible online starting around 2020, leading to speculation about Sandler’s own politics.
- Criticism has not deterred him; he continues to post political content.
“I stand with Donald Trump. The country needs real leadership.”
— Rob Schneider, via X (as cited in multiple news outlets)
Schneider’s political stance has cost him some industry goodwill, but he retains his oldest ally, Sandler, who refuses to let ideology sever a 30-year friendship.
What this means: Schneider has become a polarizing figure, but his career in stand-up comedy continues, insulated from Hollywood’s mainstream casting decisions.
Why did Rob Schneider’s wife leave him?
Rob Schneider and Patricia Azarcoya separated after 15 years of marriage. The couple filed for divorce, with the filing publicly reported early in 2025, per Wikipedia. Neither party has issued a public statement explaining the split.
