Iconic filmmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles Brentwood home on Sunday, December 14, 2025. Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, was arrested late that night and booked on suspicion of murder, with bail set at $4 million, according to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell and multiple law enforcement sources.
The couple was discovered around 3:30 p.m. after a medical aid call; sources indicate their daughter Romy found the bodies. Nick, who has a documented history of drug addiction since his teens—including periods of homelessness and rehab—inspired his father's 2015 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote.
Reports mention a loud argument between Rob and Nick at a party earlier that evening. The investigation is ongoing, with no formal charges filed yet. Hollywood and political figures, including Barack Obama and Kathy Bates, have expressed shock and paid tribute to the couple.
