Rob Schneider met his match in his wife Patricia Schneider (née Azarcoya Arce).

The Hot Chick star and the film producer met in 2007 when he appeared on a show she was working on. They got married in 2011 and went on to welcome two daughters together. The couple have also collaborated on several film and TV projects, including the sitcom Real Rob and the film Daddy Daughter Trip.

Rob and Patricia have now been married for over a decade, and the latter has a great sense of humor to keep up with her comedian husband. The Saturday Night Live alum frequently appears on Patricia's social media —whether it's comedic skits on TikTok or a sweet tribute — and Rob often returns the favor.

"The only reason I'm still doing what I do is because of this lovely woman," Rob wrote on Instagram in November 2022, tagging his wife. "You make everything beautiful! Every day a joy. And make my life a life of love and happiness. I love you para siempre ♥️."

Patricia Schneider was born Patricia Azarcoya Arce on March 6, 1988, in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. She is bilingual and creates content across her social channels in Spanish, often appearing on Mexican radio and talk shows.

Patricia is also raising her children as bilingual, as Rob shared in his stand-up special Asian Momma, Mexican Kids, where he notes that his youngest daughter, Madeline, speaks two languages.

Currently, Patricia, Rob and their family are settled in Arizona.

"My wife Patricia and I chose to make the great state of Arizona our home to raise our family not just for its incredible natural majesty and beauty but also for all that it has to offer," Rob announced in a press release in 2022.

On Nov. 16, 2012, Patricia and Rob welcomed their first child together, daughter Miranda Scarlett Schneider.

Four years later, Patricia gave birth to a second daughter, Madeline Robbie Schneider, on Sept. 14, 2016.

"The world just got 7.6 lbs more beautiful," Rob said in a statement about his newborn daughter.

Rob also has another daughter from a previous relationship, Grammy-nominated musician Elle King, whom he shares with ex-wife London King.

Elle actually credits her younger sisters as the reason she reconnected with her dad after being estranged from him for years.

"We both have grown up a lot. And you realize what's important," she told PEOPLE in 2018. "Him having children — I wanted my sisters to have good memories of me from their childhood when they grew. Family really is so important. So through that, me just kind of showing up and trying to be good for them, really made it easy because there were no bad motives. When it's about the kids, the bulls--- kind of goes away. I love him."

The couple have combined their talents on several occasions and even shared the screen together.

In 2015, the whole Schneider family, including the pair's two daughters, starred on Rob's Netflix sitcom Real Rob as themselves, which is loosely based on the comedian's life. The series had two seasons, and in 2021, Rob shared that the third season would be airing in 2023, though an official release date has not yet been announced.

In 2022, Patricia produced, wrote and appeared in the film Daddy Daughter Trip, which stars Rob acting alongside their daughter Miranda. The film also features longtime collaborator Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie Sandler.

"Our company, Mandalini Films, is now based in Scottsdale and we are very proud to have made our film, 'Daddy Daughter Trip' entirely here in Arizona," Rob shared about the film in a press release. "It's truly a postcard for the state's picturesque cinematic locations. We are grateful to the people of Arizona for their support and generosity of spirit in what we hope is the first of many family-friendly films we want to make right here in our new home."

In May 2021, she shared a video of herself dancing bachata, captioned: "I'm not great at it yet, but I'm working on it. I had a great time learning with the amazing @tonydovolani and my coach @daniktimosh."

She danced her first Rumba show in September 2021 and posted a video of the occasion.
