Once a comedic bigwig, actor-comedian Rob Schneider is now playing on what's little left of his celebrity. Schneider rose to stardom as cast member and the writer of NBC's Saturday Night Live, and later, branched his career into acting, emerging more successful in his later endeavor. Schneider's best known movie credits include blockbusters like The Hot Chick, 50 First Dates, and Grown Ups.
Born on October 31, 1963, in San Francisco, California, Schneider had a thriving career up until the last decade. One can't pinpoint the definite time when it went wrong for the comedian, but it's safe to say that Rob's career and image has been through the gradual decline over the years.
Rob, however, continues to attract the spotlight, whether it's with his consistent activism against childhood vaccination, his wavering political stance, or the allocation of wild conspiracy theories on the social media.
Rob Schneider is Married to Patricia Azarcoya Schneider!
The Hot Chick actor is married to Patricia Azarcoya, who is 25 years younger than him. The duo tied the knot in 2011 and after 12 years, and two kids later, they are still going strong. Schneider met his now-wife on the sets of a show Patricia was producing.
The twosome quietly dated for six years before realizing that they wanted to take their relationship further. Schneider and Azarcoya said their vows on April 23, 2011, at an intimate ceremony in Beverly Hills hotel.
While recalling their beautiful wedding day, the Grown Ups actor said, "Patricia and I were surrounded by our closest friends and family. It was the happiest day of my life. We had a great time at the wedding. The then-newly married couple didn't waste any time in starting their family and a year later, in November 2012, they welcomed their firstborn, Rob's second, Miranda.
They were blessed with their second child, Madeline, in September 2020. The 50 First Dates actor often gives fans a sneap peak into his blissful married life; for instance, Schneider penned a heartfelt tribute to his young wife on their 12th anniversary last year.
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to mi mundo, mi luz, mi Amor Patricia," wrote the actor, taking into account his wife's Mexican background. The note further read, "You make our life beautiful! Thank YOU for EVERY DAY. Thank you for believing in me, teaching me and for making me a better person."
What to Know About Rob Schneider's Wife, Patricia Azarcoya?
Rob's wife of nearly 13 years, Azarcoya, might be better known as the actor's significantly young wife, but there's more to her. Patricia has a Mexican background and as a result, has worked across the two languages.
A film and TV shows producer, Patricia has worked with her husband on several projects over the years, including the Netflix sitcom, Real Rob, which was a loose adaptation of their real life, Daddy Daughters Trip, again, inspired by their blissful family life, and more. The couple together founded their production company, Mandalini Films.
Aside from being a talented producer, a doting wife and mom, Patricia is also a skilled cook, and she showcases her culinary skills on her YouTube channel, Cooking with Patricia. And if that isn't enough, Schneider's gorgeous wife is also a dancer. The Real Rob producer often shares her dancing progress on her Instagram.
Inside Rob Schneider's Secret Marriage!
Many might not know it, but Patricia is Rob's third wife. The actor-comedian has been married twice before, albeit both of the two marriages are more or less of a secret. Rob was married to second wife, Helena Schneider, from 2002 to 2005.
The Hot Chicks actor and Helena reportedly started dating in 2001 and after a short-lived dating bliss, the two got married in an intimate ceremony in 2002. Rob's brief nuptial with Helena remains deep buried in the history as there is little to no information on how their life intertwined, and later, unraveled.
Rob Schneider Has a Daughter With his First Wife!
Schneider was married to his first wife, London King, from 1988 to 1990. Their marriage was a short tale, but it was significant phase in Schneider's life as the actor became a father at the onset of his stardom.
Rob and King welcomed their firstborn, Tanner Elle Schneider, better known by her stage name, Elle King, a year before their divorce in 1989. There isn't much known about the former couple's love story, except for the fact that Schneider had just started in his career when he started courting London, a model, and actress.
Schneider's long-dissolved first marriage often pops up in the news because of his relationship with his eldest, and famous daughter, Elle, who is a Grammy-nominated musician. The father-daughter duo has navigated a rollercoaster of a relationship over the years.
The Grown Ups actor and his talented daughter were estranged for a long time. The pair reportedly worked on their bond after Elle found her own footing in the industry. "My father and I have a beautiful and really wonderful, great loving relationship with awesome boundaries," said Elle, who shares a 2-year-old son, Lucky, with her fiancé Daniel Tooker.
