Rob and Michele Reiner's eldest son, Jake, revealed the exact moment he found out about his parents' deaths in a post shared on his Substack Friday (April 24).

“I was in Union Station at a celebration of life for one of my best friends, Christian Anderson, who died in October,” Jake wrote. “It was at that moment I received a call from my sister Romy telling me our father was dead. Minutes later, she called back telling me our mother was also dead.”

"The 45-minute Lyft ride from downtown to the west side was unendurable," he added. "My world, as I knew it, had collapsed. I was in a trance. The only thing I could focus on was that I needed to get to my childhood home. I needed to get to my sister. I needed to figure out what the hell just happened.”
Jake, 34, said the essay was "my story" and said his sister, Romy, 28, "will tell hers in her own way and in her time."

Jake's younger brother, Nick, is accused of killing their parents on December 17. Nick pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in connection with their deaths in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom for his arraignment in February.

Nick had publicly acknowledged his issues with drug addition and homelessness in the past. Rob and Michele Reiner were reported to also have stab wounds to multiple other parts of their bodies, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the New York Post.

Rob Reiner, the son of producer, writer and actor Carl Reiner and actress and singer Estelle Reiner, initially gained national prominence playing Mike 'Meathead' Stivic on All in the Family and is credit with numerous acting roles during a career that spanned seven decades. The New York City native made his directorial debut with the heavy metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984) -- having released a sequel earlier this year -- which was followed up by The Sure Thing (1985), Stand By Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally...(1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).
