Who is Romy Reiner, daughter of Rob Reiner, who discovered 'The Wolf of Wall Street' actor murdered at home

Romy Reiner, daughter of actor Rob Reiner, made a tragic discovery on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at her parents' Brentwood estate in Los Angeles. After being unable to reach them by phone, she went to their home and found both her father, Rob Reiner, 78, and her mother, Michele Reiner, 68, dead.

She immediately called 911, according to reports, which brought police and paramedics to the scene. The situation is further complicated because Romy’s older brother, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, is the primary person of interest in the investigation. While Romy is dealing with the trauma of discovering the crime scene, her brother is currently being questioned by LAPD detectives, putting her in an incredibly difficult position.

Rob Reiner, the father of Romy, was known for his role as Max Belfort in Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film, *The Wolf of Wall Street*. Romy Reiner, born in 1997, is the youngest of Rob and Michele’s three children. Like her father, she has pursued an acting career and has appeared in shows such as *New Girl*, where her father also had a role.

Unlike her brother Nick, who has faced public struggles, Romy has generally maintained a lower profile, often accompanying her parents on red carpets to support their projects. Law enforcement officials have noted that Romy’s emergency call provided crucial information for establishing the timeline of events. Her arrival time and the condition of the home when she found it helped police determine the window in which the attack likely occurred. She is cooperating with investigators as a key witness.

Romy is now grieving with her eldest brother, Jake Reiner, 34, who works as a journalist, and her half-sister, Tracy Reiner, 61, best known for her role in *A League of Their Own*. Soon after Romy's discovery, family friends such as Billy Crystal and Larry David arrived at the home to support the grieving siblings.

The investigation is ongoing as of Monday. Autopsies are being conducted by the coroner’s office to confirm the cause of death, although initial reports suggest the victims suffered fatal stab wounds. Romy and her siblings have asked for privacy during this difficult time. The LAPD is continuing to question Nick Reiner about the events surrounding the deaths.
