2012: Rob Schneider Gushed About Patricia Schneider Following Their Wedding
Rob Schneider was previously married to London King and Helena Schneider.
Following their nuptials, the Big Daddy star gushed about Patricia for keeping him grounded.
"I think people expect me to go push things a little farther. But if anything bad happens, it's mostly to my character," he said. "My wife is not going to let me do anything overly offensive, I guarantee you. I have to go home to my wife – she'll let me know. And I think you have to be able to laugh at yourselves. I mean, in Mexico, she says they are laughing at everything. She told me, like 'In Mexico, they've always had a [financial] crisis in Mexico. So what are you guys talking about here?'"
Rob and Patricia also collaborated in several projects, including in Real Rob, where she served as a co-writer alongside Jamie Lissow.
"We spent a year on the first season. I think it's some of the best stuff I've ever done. It's more of a cable-ish FX, HBO, or Netflix-type show. Now that we're done, we're going to find a nice home for it. I'm going to send it to Dawn French, and if she wants to work with me, I'll be very happy," Rob said in a separate interview.
