Rob and Michele Reiner’s children speak out after brother arrested in parents’ murder. Read their statement.
Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s two other children have spoken out for the first time as their brother, Nick Reiner, appeared in court to face charges for the murders of his parents.
Jake and Romy Reiner released the following statement on Wednesday:
“Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave.”

Rob Reiner had another adopted child, Tracy Reiner, from his previous marriage to actress Penny Marshall. The two were together for 10 years beginning in 1971.
The “When Harry Met Sally…” director met Michele Singer, a photographer, while working on the romantic comedy. In a 2016 interview with AV Club, he said meeting her was what made him change the ending of the movie, to have Harry and Sally end up together.
The couple got married in 1989, the same year the film was released. They had three children together.
Their youngest, 28-year-old Romy Reiner, is a photographer and an artist.
Jake Romy, 34, their eldest, was a news reporter in Texas and California, including at CBS Los Angeles, before he followed in his father’s footsteps. He acted in a few TV shows and films, including “Being Charlie,” which was directed by his father.
Nick Reiner was also credited in “Being Charlie” as a writer. The film, which told the story of a teenager struggling with drug addiction and rehab, was “loosely based on things Nick went through and his relationship to me and his mother,” Rob Reiner said in a 2016 AOL interview alongside his son. “It was intense. It was difficult at times.”
The 32-year-old has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the killing of his parents, who were found dead in their home over the weekend, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. The DA said the charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole or the death penalty, but that his office hasn’t decided which to pursue.
The district attorney’s office confirmed in a statement that Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death. It wasn’t clear as of Wednesday morning when exactly the attack happened, or how long the couple had been dead before their bodies were discovered on Sunday. The day before, they had gone to a party at Conan O’Brien’s, where Rob and Nick Reiner had a brief but loud argument, sources who were there told CBS News.
Nick Reiner has not entered a plea. He appeared in court on Wednesday and only said, “yes, your honor,” to agree to the arraignment date.
Police have not released details about evidence in the case, or any information about a possible motive or what led them to arrest Nick Reiner.
Newly released video shows Nick Reiner inside a gas station convenience store hours after the killings and just moments before he was arrested on Sunday. Video from outside the store shows the LAPD arriving and arresting him. He did not resist arrest, according to police.
He is now being held without bail in a jail in downtown Los Angeles.
Hugh Jackman may have given a subtle hint about his secret role in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.
Jackman, who plays Wolverine in Marvel Cinematic Universe, claimed that he is not done with his role.
In an interview with The View, The Greatest Showman star, explained why he thinks his time with MCU is far from over.
On asking if it is “a clue that you’re gonna be in Avengers: Doomsday,” Jackman replied, “That’s not a clue.”
He went on to cover his face, adding, “Watch my face. Try to work this out. No.”
However, the Logan actor admitted that it “just doesn’t” feel like the end of the road for his character after going from 20th Century Fox era of superhero films into the MCU with the 2024 box office smash hit, Deadpool & Wolverine.
The Oscar nominee recalled that for five years while he had decided that he won’t play the character anymore, Ryan Reynolds kept on persuading him to make a comeback.
“And then I rang him one day and said, ‘I’m in,’” Jackman said. “And so I go with this — and that’s what my gut says — it’s not done. But that’s just me! Marvel might have different ideas.”
The Emmy winner comments came after the swirling speculations that he and Reynolds could potentially reprise their roles as Wolverine and Deadpool in Doomsday.
Previously, Reynolds also teased his fans with an Instagram post featuring a red anarchy symbol graffitied over the Avengers logo.
Another hint of Jackman playing part in the film, that he isn’t the only X-Men mutant getting in on the action if he joined the cast.
The film will see the return of Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden in addition to Channing Tatum, who made his debut as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine and is now set to star in Avengers: Doomsday.
While Jackman’s role is yet to be confirmed, Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on December 18, 2026.

- PM says expats send $38bn yearly, aiding economy.
- says Migrants’ real strength is in their skills and determination.
- Adds govt working through EU Talent Partnerships, bilateral pacts.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said more than 12 million overseas Pakistanis were a valuable national asset, being the ambassadors of our homeland’s potential and culture and serving as a strong bridge between Pakistan and other nations.
“Their remittances, exceeding $38 billion annually, provided key support to the national economy and were a source of livelihood for millions of families, adding, however, that the real strength of these migrants lies in their skills, hard work and determination,” the PM said in a message on the International Migrants Day, which is observed on December 18.
“The Government of Pakistan is focused on imparting skills and technical education to those going abroad, as success in today’s global economy requires not only technical expertise but also social skills and proficiency in various languages.”
He said that to meet such requirements, the government was aligning the technical and vocational training system with the international standards. In this context, the government was promoting social training, diverse skills and foreign language education so that its workforce could meet the demands of the modern age.
Today, the prime minister said Pakistan joined countries around the globe in paying tribute to the courage, resilience, sacrifices, and invaluable contributions of those individuals who left their homelands to make a living in other countries.
“This year, International Migrants Day is being observed under the theme ‘My Great Story: Cultures and Development.’ This theme highlights the reality that human mobility on a large scale proves to be a useful source of prosperity and benefits,” PM Office Media Wing in a press release, quoted the prime minister as saying.
The prime minister observed that the movement of people from diverse social backgrounds enriched societies culturally and promoted innovation and creativity within communities.
“When a multicultural society is based on the principles of cooperation, dignity and rights, it advances sustainable and long-term development,” he added.
He said through the European Union Talent Partnership, as well as memoranda of understanding concluded with various countries, Pakistan was establishing an organised system to ensure international recognition of the skills of overseas Pakistanis and the protection of their rights.
Furthermore, he highlighted that the drafts of the National Emigration and Welfare Policy and the National Reintegration Policy ensured that every individual going abroad experiences a safe, secure and dignified journey at all stages.
The prime minister stressed upon renewal of their commitment to play a role in empowering those who were forced by circumstances to seek job opportunities abroad, by equipping them with skills and ensuring safer, more dignified opportunities, so that the shared journey of development might bring dividends.
