Jake Reiner said he’s living through a “nightmare” while breaking his silence after the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. In the emotional statement, he said he wakes up every morning having to remind himself that what happened is real, and he asked for privacy and compassion as the family deals with the aftermath.

What he said

Jake described the pain of losing his parents as “unimaginable” and said the tragedy is something no family should have to endure. He also emphasized that Rob and Michele were not just his parents, but his best friends.

Family situation

The statement comes after his brother Nick Reiner was charged in connection with their parents’ deaths. Jake and his sister Romy have already issued a joint statement, but this new message is a more personal reflection on their grief.
