The family of filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner has released a statement regarding his recent death. News of Rob and his wife, Michele – whom he met while filming When Harry Met Sally… – shocked the world on December 14, 2025. Just two days later, their son, Nick, was arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of both his parents. Nick appeared in court on December 17th but did not enter a plea; his arraignment has been scheduled for January 7, 2026.
As a movie fan, I was shocked to hear the news about Rob and Michele Reiner. The L.A. medical examiner has confirmed they both died from multiple stab wounds, and their deaths are being investigated as a homicide. Not much information has been released yet about what actually happened, and a lot of what you’re hearing is still just speculation. It’s just awful. Their children, Jake and Romy Reiner, have now released a statement through People magazine, but details are still limited.
We are heartbroken beyond words by the loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. This is a pain no one should have to endure, as they were not only our parents but also our closest friends. We are so thankful for the overwhelming support and kindness we’ve received from everyone. At this difficult time, we ask for privacy and respect, and that people remember our parents for the wonderful lives they lived and the love they shared.
Romy found her father after a massage therapist contacted her, unable to get in touch with either her or her father. Both Romy and her brother, Jake, were very close to their parents, which heavily influenced their decision to become filmmakers.
Tributes Continue to Pour in for Rob and Michele Reiner

In recent days, many colleagues have shared heartfelt memories of Rob Reiner, praising his work and kindness. Stars like Billy Crystal and Albert Brooks fondly remembered their time collaborating with him on beloved films such as When Harry Met Sally… and The Princess Bride. Even Stephen King, a master of horror, acknowledged Reiner’s talent, specifically noting his excellent direction of the film adaptation of Misery. The sudden passing of Rob and Michele Reiner has deeply affected the film industry, and many questions remain surrounding the tragedy.
During this incredibly difficult time, the Reiner family asks for privacy as they cope with this life-altering event. While Nick Reiner has previously shared his personal challenges, including his relationship with his parents – a topic explored in his film Being Charlie – his siblings also deserve respect as they navigate this heartbreaking moment. Rob and Michele Reiner will be deeply missed by all who knew them.
