Jake Reiner discusses death of parents Rob and Michelle Reiner in return to podcast


Jake Reiner spoke out about his late parents Rob and Michele Reiner as he returned to his long-running baseball podcast on Wednesday.

Jake Reiner’s return to “The Incline: Dodgers Podcast” comes nearly two weeks after he broke his silence on his parents’ tragic deaths, calling the situation a “living nightmare.”

On Wednesday, Reiner thanked listeners of the podcast, saying, “I have seen all the love, all the support out there.”

“I felt it was time to come back to the podcast. I was thinking about it for a really long time,” he said, explaining that he wanted to pen an essay about his parents, which he published last month, before returning to the podcast.

“I felt like I wanted to put my words out there and let people in as to the kind of people that [my parents] were at home,” he said.

Reiner also spoke on his experience with grief, saying he hoped to “connect with people that are going through their own kind of grief.”

“I know that not everybody’s grief is the same, and even though everyone’s grief is unique to them, I’m sure that there are aspects of everyone’s grief that we can all connect with,” he said.

He also touched on the importance of returning to the podcast and discussing the Los Angeles Dodgers, calling the team his “first love.”

“It’s something that I’ve always connected with with my dad, first and foremost, and it’s something that I will continue to connect with him for the rest of my life,” he said.

Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their home in Brentwood, California, on Dec. 14, 2025.

The night before their deaths, Jake Reiner’s younger brother Nick Reiner — who had been living on his parents’ property — got into an argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News in December.

Nick Reiner was taken into custody hours after his parents’ bodies were discovered. He later pleaded not guilty to murder charges in connection with their deaths.
