In a tragic incident that has stunned the global entertainment community, acclaimed filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were discovered dead in their Los Angeles home on December 14, 2025.
The couple was found with multiple stab wounds in their Brentwood residence after a massage therapist raised the alarm, leading their daughter, Romy, to enter the house and discover the scene.
In the days following the discovery, authorities arrested the couple’s 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, in connection with the crime. He has since been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, though his initial court appearance was delayed for medical reasons.
Tributes have poured in from prominent figures across the political and creative landscapes, with President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama both expressing deep sorrow over the loss of a couple known as much for their social advocacy as for their artistic contributions.
Colleagues like Billy Crystal and Jamie Lee Curtis have shared their heartbreak, reflecting on Rob Reiner’s legendary directorial career that produced classics like The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally.
As the investigation continues, the focus remains on the devastating nature of the loss and the legal proceedings currently unfolding in Los Angeles.
