Filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead on December 14, 2025, at their California home, sending shockwaves through Hollywood. According to People, emergency calls were made to the Los Angeles Fire Department around 3:30 p.m. First responders arrived to find a man and a woman unresponsive. Authorities later confirmed they were Rob and Michele Reiner.
Multiple sources told People that the couple was discovered by their daughter, Romy Reiner. Officials have not released a full timeline or confirmed the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths. The investigation remains ongoing, and many details have yet to be made public.
Romy Reiner, 28, is the youngest of Rob Reiner’s four children. Born in 1997, she grew up around Hollywood but largely avoided the spotlight. While her father directed classics such as The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, and When Harry Met Sally, Romy pursued a quieter creative path. She describes herself as an artist, writer, actress, and model, with acting credits including You People, Voices, Born Again Virgin, and a brief appearance on New Girl.
Romy is one of three biological children Rob shared with Michele. The couple also raised Tracy Reiner, Rob’s adopted daughter from his previous marriage to Penny Marshall. The family was widely regarded as close-knit, making the tragedy especially devastating.
Authorities continue to examine the case. Sources cited by People say investigators believe their son Nick may be involved, though no official charges or motive have been publicly confirmed.
