What to know about Rob Reiner’s family — including son Nick who’s arrested following the murder o…
New details have emerged in the investigation into the deaths of legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner, and authorities have now made an arrest. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with his parents’ fatal stabbing deaths. The 32-year-old is currently being held at Parker Center Jail in downtown Los Angeles, where his bail has been set at $4 million. Their arrest comes one day after Rob and Michelle Reiner were found dead inside their Brentwood, California home on December 14th. Investigators say the couple suffered fatal stab wounds to the throat following what has been described as a heated argument involving a family member. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Rob Reiner was 78 years old. Michelle Reiner was 68. Authorities confirmed that the couple’s daughter, Romy Reiner, was the one who discovered their bodies and contacted police. Early in the investigation, sources said Romy told responding officers that a family member should be considered dangerous. At the time, Nick Reiner was named a person of interest. That designation has now escalated to formal murder charges. The arrest cast a devastating shadow over what had appeared to be a close-knit family. Just 3 months before their deaths, Rob and Michelle Reiner made their final public appearance with their children at the Los Angeles premiere of Spinal Tap 2. The end continues. They posed alongside sons Jake and Nick and daughter Romy, smiling for photos and presenting a united front. Rob’s eldest daughter, Tracy Reiner, whom he adopted during his marriage to Penny Marshall, was not present at the event. Following the killings, resurfaced interviews with Rob Reiner, have taken on new significance. In one of his final interviews conducted in September, Reiner reflected on his career and legacy, telling Piers Morgan, “Well, I mean, you know, listen, people have their favorites. they, you know, and we the cliche, we love all our children, even the even the bad ones. You know, at the time, the comment was understood as a metaphor about his films. In the wake of his death, it has been widely described as chilling. Nick Reiner’s arrest has also renewed attention on his long doumented struggle with drug addiction. Nick first entered rehab at age 15 and has spoken openly about cycling through treatment programs more than a dozen times. In past interviews, he revealed that he spent years homeless. after refusing to return to rehab facilities chosen for him. He described sleeping on the streets across several states and admitted that he could have died during that period of his life. Those experiences later became the basis for the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which Nick co-wrote and which Rob Reiner directed. Rob previously acknowledged the emotional toll of his son’s addiction, admitting that he and Michelle were often desperate to help and sometimes failed to listen to Nick when he said treatment wasn’t working for him. Romy Reiner, the youngest of the couple’s children, has frequently spoken about her close relationship with her father. In a Father’s Day post from 2021, she described Rob Reiner as the man I could talk to forever and also the man I could sit in silence with and be perfectly content. Just weeks before her parents’ death, Romy posted publicly about gratitude for family and health, a message that has since taken on heartbreaking significance. The couple’s eldest son together, Jake Reiner, has kept a low profile since the tragedy. Jake has worked in entertainment and host a baseball podcast, sharing a lifelong love of the sport with his father. A passion Rob once said was passed down from his own father, comedy icon Carl Reiner. Rob Reiner’s adopted daughter, Tracy Reiner, expressed shock following the deaths. I came from the greatest family ever, she told NBC News. I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock. Nick Reiner remains in custody as the case moves forward, and investigators have not yet released further details about the circumstances leading up to the killings. Rob and Michelle Reiner are survived by their children, Jake, Romy, and Tracy, as they now face an unimaginable loss, made even more devastating by the allegations at the center of this case. As the legal process unfolds, authorities say they are continuing to gather evidence and urge the public to allow the investigation to proceed through the courts.
Legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood, California home, prompting a major investigation and an arrest. Their son, Nick Reiner, has since been taken into custody and charged with murder as authorities continue to examine the events leading up to the killings.

In every pic ive seen of the entire family, Nick has the same look on his face. It's chilling. Dead eyes.
I just saw on the news where the son first time going to rehab was at the age of 15 for drugs!!!
Drugs are bad mmmKay. Don’t do drugs kids.
Heartbreaking😔
So sad
Excellent reporting. Subbed!
ITS HORRIBLE WHAT HAPPENS, BUT WHAT MAKES IT WORST IS YOUR OWN FAMILY DID IT…
Tragic way to die….your own child is stabbing you to death….not a break-in by a stranger. Condolences to the rest of the family.
You absolutely need to be on professional news television due to your precise & concise description of events. I'm so tired of these so-called pros with "Uh" every 5th word for 20 minutes straight.

Not trying to be funny, but I wonder if she was thankful for the state of the country during the last administration. If so, I'd be fascinated to hear her elaborate.
On another note:
Rest in Peace Rob & Michele Reiner…😇💛
Dead from the neck up. Meat.head. Archie was right.
You are 50X more likely to be un-alived by a family member or close friend than a stranger.
Why would the President weigh in on this? Complete lack of judgement.
