Former ‘Days of Our Lives' star Alison Sweeney embraces ‘normal' Arizona life after ditching Hollywood

It's been a few years since Alison Sweeney relocated her family from California to Arizona — and she hasn't regretted it one bit. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the former 'Days of Our Lives' star, 48, opened up about her decision to leave Los Angeles and explained why she prioritizes health and wellness over the Hollywood hype these days. 'I mean, no [I don't miss Hollywood],' Sweeney, who has recently partnered with Align Probiotics for their latest campaign, told Fox News Digital. 'I miss my family. I love my family. I go to visit them all the time, but they're not really in Hollywood or whatever. So, no, I am thrilled with my life. I love how normal it is.' The actress made her acting debut at the age of four when she landed a role in a Kodak commercial. From there, she went on to find major success with various film and TV roles, including the role of Sami on the longtime-running soap opera ' Days of Our Lives .' 6 Austin Peck as Austin Reed and Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady embracing at a picnic.

NBCUniversal via Getty Images In 2019, the former 'Biggest Loser' host told Fox News Digital that being a child actor had taught her 'that there's always someone out there who is prettier and skinnier and fancier.' She said she was able to combat that by gradually learning to believe in herself and what she had to offer, and by figuring out how to 'find that confidence' within herself. And as other childhood stars were succumbing to the temptations of the limelight, Sweeney said her family was really instrumental in helping her to keep her head on straight. 'I was really lucky. I'm from LA, so it wasn't a big fish-out of-water story, and my parents are super grounded and normal and real and tough and strict,' she said. 'I was never left out on my own to figure that out. I was always really guided by my brothers and my parents, who were all very loving.' 6 Alison Sweeney attends the Hallmark Media 2024 TCA Winter Press Tour.

NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images 'I am a busy mom and I work all the time, and you really don't have a lot of time for your gut health to not be aligned,' said Sweeney, who shares two children with husband David Sanov. 'And so it was a great partnership [with Align Probiotics] because I care about my health. Everything you're reading right now is people trying to be more healthy, people trying to understand their bodies better. And one of the things I learned at 'The Biggest Loser' is that you are getting signs from your body. Your body is trying to communicate with you. It's trying to help you.' 6 These days, Sweeney is enjoying normalcy, while continuing to prioritize her health and wellness. NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'And if you're listening to those signs, you can make a lot of better choices for yourself,' she continued. 'Staying active is very important, I'm not going to knock that, but I do think nutrition is number one for your health, and eating well. I'm not really hip to the Hollywood scene, but what I noticed with moms I'm friends with and just other everyday women is just more awareness … that your nutrition can make a difference in how you feel and your health.' 6 Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady, Christie Clark as Carrie Brady. NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Sweeney said that getting 'skinny' is not the way to go, but rather striving for 'healthy living.' 'Skinny is really not the right goal,' she said. 'Healthy living is the right goal. It is something to look forward to, something to strive towards. It's a marathon, it's not a sprint. And so, it's really important to look at big picture.' And family is a huge part of that bigger picture. The Hallmark actress, who recently celebrated 25 years of marriage with Sanov, said 'the little things' in life are what matter the most. 'Communication is key,' she said. 'I know that's maybe too cheesy to say, but just staying in contact, talking all the time, checking in on the little things. I used to say that gestures, loving gestures are so important, but it's not romantic. Like, 'Oh, bring me flowers every week.' It's little things like, he charges my phone for me when I can't find it. I make him cappuccino in the morning just to be nice. And then not only doing those things for your partner, but recognizing … and acknowledging them and allowing that to be the sweet care and gesture that it is.' 'Don't take it for granted,' she added. 'Appreciating those little moments are just as valuable.'

Sandler has been in the Hollywood spotlight for more than three decades, and he told Fox News Digital he's shared one crucial piece of advice with his kids, Sunny, 18, and Sadie, 16, as they followed in his acting footsteps. 'Be nice to everybody,' the comedian said. His co-star, Julie Bowen, 55, who reprised her role as publicist Virginia Venit in the sequel, echoed that sentiment.

He said he's urged his children to be kind to everyone, whether they're famous or behind-the-scenes crew members. But Sandler had different advice about those making an impressive amount of cash. 'Be nice to everybody. … Anyone who is making too much cash, you can give them a snap.'— Adam Sandler Sandler joked, 'Anyone who is making too much cash, you can give them a snap.' The 'Happy Gilmore' writer and producer quipped he wasn't aware his two daughters were going to be featured in the sequel. 6 Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen in an interview for 'Happy Gilmore 2.' foxnews 'I didn't even know they were in this,' he told Fox News Digital.

His famous character, Happy Gilmore, first came out swinging in the original movie in 1996. Now, Sandler's short-fused legend is making a comeback in the comedy sports sequel.

'We work hard with a bunch of people who like to create, write stuff down, try to make it fresh as much as we can and think about the audience.' His co-star Bowen is back by Sandler's side for the sequel, but she initially didn't think she would be.

'My sons told me … called me up from school and said, 'Mom, you're not going to be in Happy Gilmore 2,' Bowen said. 'I said, 'There is no Happy Gilmore 2!' This is before there was even a movie. … I would know if there was going to be one. I think I would've heard something. … It was bad intel.' Sandler chimed in and jokingly said, 'If I'm replacing anyone it would be Shooter,' referencing McDonald's character. 6 Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio as Busboy and Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Scott Yamano/Netflix 'You're going to replace Shooter with Sydney Sweeney?' Bowen laughed, as Sandler screamed, 'Yes!' 'She would be great with the finger guns,' Bowen remarked.

WireImage While McDonald was the reigning king of the PGA, his world was turned upside-down by the wild, unconventional and unapologetically brash Happy Gilmore. When Fox News Digital asked McDonald if the rivalry between his character and Sandler's was just as intense this time around, he replied, 'It's even better.' 'I slipped right into Shooter's shoes,' McDonald said, showing off his signature finger guns during the interview. 'But, at the same time, I had a really redemptive moment where I realized what we should do together to save this great game of golf.' 'Happy Gilmore 2' premieres on Netflix July 25.
