Rob Reiner Family Guide: Wife Michele, His 4 Kids, Including Tracy and Nick

Rob Reiner's family has always been synonymous with showbiz.

The Princess Bride director and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Brentwood, Los Angeles, home on Sunday, December 14. Rob leaves behind four children.

Rob, who was 78, won two Emmy awards for his role as Mike "Meathead" Stivic in the classic sitcom All in the Family, before gaining notoriety as a filmmaker. In the span of just six years, he released acclaimed movies Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally… (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).

But talent has always run in the Reiner family - his parents were actors Estelle and Carl Reiner, his wife was a producer, and his daughter, Tracy, was also an actress.

Penny Marshall

Before marrying Michele, Rob was married to actress and director Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981. He adopted Penny's daughter, Tracy, from a previous relationship.

Penny was best known for playing Laverne DeFazio in the classic sitcom Laverne & Shirley. She also directed several films, including Big, A League of Their Own and Riding in Cars With Boys.

Penny died at age 75 in December 2018.

Michele Singer Reiner

Following his divorce from Penny, Rob met actress and photographer Michele while directing When Harry Met Sally. They wed in 1989, the same year the movie came out.

In an interview with The A.V. Club in 2016, Rob said he changed the ending of the classic romantic comedy after meeting his wife. (Initially, Harry and Sally were meant to walk away from each other, but in the final cut, they get married.)

Michele later coproduced several of her husband's movies, including Shock and Awe, Albert Brooks: Defending My Life and the recently released Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

Together, Rob and Michele share three children: sons Jake and Nick and daughter Romy.

Romy Reiner

Romy is an actress and director, much like other members of her family. She appeared in the 2023 Netflix comedy You People and directed and wrote the short film Here to Stay.

Romy is also active on social media, often sharing cute videos with her dad, including an Instagram video in April in which they discussed "hotness."
