Reiner, 34, is the eldest son of legendary film director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Reiner, who were found stabbed to death at their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Dec. 14, 2025. Nick Reiner, Jake’s 32-year-old younger brother, is charged with two counts of murder.
“Nobody really understands what it’s like to go through something like that until you’re living it,” Jake Reiner said. “It’s been eight months. It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes because every moment that I wake up, I’m reminded of my reality.”
The day of the murders, Jake Reiner was at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, attending a celebration of life event for a high school friend. His younger sister, Romy Reiner, tried to call him.

“Romy called me, and I screened it, because I thought at the time, I’m in the middle of something, you know, I’ll call her back,” Jake Reiner said, “and then, she called immediately again, and I knew at that point that something was wrong.”
“Romy told me our dad was dead, and then she said, ‘I can’t find mom,'” he said. “I immediately went into shock.”
