Meg Ryan honors Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, praising their belief in love, fairy tales and laughter
Actress Meg Ryan paid tribute to Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner on Wednesday, praising the couple for their belief in “true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter.”
Ryan starred in Reiner’s “When Harry Met Sally…,” a classic rom-com that served as her breakout role.
“Oh how we will miss this man,” Ryan said in a post on Instagram. “Thank you, Rob and Michelle, for the way you believe in true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter. Thank you for your faith in the best in people, and for your profound love of our country.”
“I have to believe that their story will not end with this impossible tragedy, that some good may come, some awareness raised,” Ryan continued. “I don’t know, but my guess is that they would want that to be hopeful and humane, to be something that brings us all to a greater understanding of one another and to some peace.”
Reiner and his wife were found dead Sunday at their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Their son Nick Reiner has been arrested on murder charges.
Ryan’s “When Harry Met Sally” co-star Billy Crystal released a joint statement with several other close friends of Reiner’s, including his childhood friend Albert Brooks. In the statement provided to The Associated Press, they said, “Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master story teller. … His comedic touch was beyond compare.”

“Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens,” the statement said. “They were a special force together-dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them forever.”
The happy ending of “When Harry Met Sally…” had some real-life inspiration, with Reiner saying he changed it to have the couple end up together after meeting his future wife Michele on the set of the film. The two married in 1989 and had three children together: sons Nick and Jake, and daughter Romy.
CBS celebrates Reiner’s life and life’s work through the eyes of those who knew him in “CBS News: Rob Reiner – Scenes from a Life,” a one-hour special that will be broadcast Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Thursday announced the inclusion of ethics as a subject in the curriculum, stressing that education must go hand in hand with character-building.
The KP chief minister made the announcement during his visit to a government school in Peshawar. Speaking on the occasion, the CM said: “Training is essential alongside education. It develops responsible, principled and successful individuals.”
The chief minister directed the relevant authorities to install CCTV cameras in all public schools and provide all facilities on a priority basis. He instructed the officials to ensure the provision of free textbooks to all students at the beginning of the new academic session.
He said that the school administration and teaching staff should focus on quality education and assured that the shortcomings in government schools would be removed.
The KP CM, last month, had announced to establish two more universities in the province despite financial issues.
CM Afridi had directed the authorities to work on the proposal of establishing the Arshad Sharif University in the province as well as another varsity in his native Khyber tribal district.

Sarah Ferguson may be no stranger to reinvention, but losing the Duchess of York title has reportedly hit hard.
A source told Gb News that the former royal is “in a very bad way” following the removal of the York titles, describing the moment as emotionally bruising even for someone long accustomed to life outside the Firm.
Still, those close to Ferguson insist resilience remains her trademark.
“She’ll dust herself down and attempt to reinvent herself again somehow,” the insider said suggesting the familiar Fergie comeback may already be in motion.
The comments came as Sarah and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stepped back into the public eye for the first time since the title change.
The pair were seen attending the christening of their granddaughter, Athena, on Thursday morning.
This intimate baptism was held at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, with Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, hosting close family and friends to celebrate the arrival of their second daughter.
The ceremony marked the former Duke and Duchess of York’s first outing at a royal function since they lost their York titles in October, following renewed scrutiny over their past links to Jeffrey Epstein.
While the occasion was intimate by design, their presence was widely seen as a carefully measured return to public view.
Princess Beatrice and her husband, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed baby Athena earlier this year after she arrived several weeks ahead of schedule in January.
The christening, held months later than expected, was reportedly postponed amid the fallout surrounding Athena’s grandparents.
Sources say Beatrice has remained particularly close to her mother throughout the turbulence, leaning on Sarah Ferguson as headlines swirled.
Her relationship with her father, however, is understood to have grown more strained, reflecting the wider consequences of the scandal on family dynamics.
True to form, Andrew kept firmly out of the spotlight on the day, avoiding photographers and steering clear of any official images taken at the event.
