Jake Reiner speaks out on brother's arrest after parents' deaths

Jake Reiner, the eldest son of the late Rob and Michele Reiner, spoke out about his parents’ deaths for the first time since his filmmaker father and photographer mother were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home.

Jake Reiner’s younger brother, Nick Reiner, faces charges of murdering their parents in December 2025, charges Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty to. Los Angeles law enforcement officials initially arrested Nick Reiner on two charges of first-degree murder two days after his parents were found deceased. In mid-August, a Los Angeles County grand jury indicted Nick Reiner on two first-degree murder charges, alleging that he was lying in wait before the killing.
