Adam Sandler Brings Daughter Sunny On Stage For Powerful “I Hope” Duet During His 2025 Tour
Adam Sandler has never been shy about sharing the spotlight with his family — and during a recent stop on his 2025 You’re My Best Friend Tour, he gave fans another heartwarming glimpse into his life as a proud dad.
At his Milwaukee show, the 57-year-old comedian invited his 16-year-old daughter, Sunny Sandler, to join him on stage for a surprise performance. The crowd erupted as Sunny confidently took the mic while her father strummed along on guitar, performing Gabby Barrett’s chart-topping hit “I Hope.”
A Show-Stopping Performance
Sunny’s rendition of the breakup anthem stunned the audience. The song — co-written by Barrett, Jon Nite, and Zach Kale — begins tenderly before flipping into fiery heartbreak, with the unforgettable line:
“And then I hope she cheats, like you did on me.”
Sunny delivered the lyrics with both power and emotion, her voice blending vulnerability and strength, while her dad watched with unmistakable pride.

Fans React: “He’s Such a Girl Dad”
The moment quickly went viral after fans posted clips online, with viewers pointing out Sandler’s glowing expression as he watched his daughter perform.
Comments poured in:
“Adam is like, ‘Look at this cool thing I made.’”
“He is such a girl dad.”
“Sandler looks like he’s just full of love.”
Even Gabby Barrett herself noticed the performance, sharing the clip on her Instagram story and writing:
“Love this @adamsandler — maybe Sunny and I can sing it together sometime soon ;)”
Music Runs In The Family
Though Adam Sandler is best known for his comedy and film career, he’s long incorporated music into his work, from “The Chanukah Song” to “I Wanna Grow Old With You.” Sunny’s growing confidence on stage suggests she’s inherited her dad’s creative streak.
This wasn’t the first time the pair performed together — Sunny has previously joined him to sing covers of Adele, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo during live shows.
The Sandler Family Legacy
Adam and his wife Jackie Sandler, who met on the set of Big Daddy and married in 2003, have two daughters: Sadie (19) and Sunny (16). Both girls have already stepped into the entertainment world, most recently appearing in their dad’s upcoming Netflix sequel, Happy Gilmore 2.
The You’re My Best Friend Tour Continues
Sandler’s nationwide tour — which blends stand-up, live music, and surprise appearances — continues through early November. Upcoming stops include Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on October 13, before wrapping with two back-to-back shows at Las Vegas’ Fontainebleau on October 30 and November 1.
Fans can expect plenty more laughs, heartfelt moments, and maybe even another unforgettable family duet before the tour ends.
