The couple married in 1989 and had three children: Jake, Nick, and Romy Reiner.
The Reiner Family
Jake Reiner, the eldest, has worked behind the scenes in Hollywood as a producer and production executive, including on several of his father’s projects. He is known for keeping his personal life private.
Nick Reiner, the middle child, has been open about his struggles with drug addiction and homelessness in his teenage years. In 2016, he shared in an interview how addiction took him far from home, cycling in and out of rehab, and experiencing life on the streets across multiple states. His experiences later inspired his semi-autobiographical film, Being Charlie, which he co-wrote and directed with his father.
“Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family,” Nick said in reflection on his journey.
The youngest, Romy Reiner, has largely remained out of the public eye, occasionally attending events with her parents but not pursuing a career in Hollywood.
From Rob’s first marriage to actress Penny Marshall, he also had a daughter, Tracy Reiner, adopted during his marriage to Marshall. Rob and Penny divorced in 1981.
Remembering Rob and Michele
Rob Reiner’s contributions to cinema—as an actor, director, and storyteller—remain timeless, while Michele’s partnership and family dedication were central to his life. Their passing is a profound loss, and our thoughts are with the Reiner family during this incredibly difficult time.
