In a continuation of family traditions amid grief, Romy Reiner and brother Jake cleaned up a Malibu beach on New Year's Day with friends, following their parents' murders allegedly by brother Nick, whose arraignment is next week.
On January 1, 2026, Romy Reiner and her brother Jake kicked off the new year by upholding their parents' tradition of community service, picking up litter along a Malibu beach alongside friends.
This positive act honors filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Singer Reiner, murdered on December 14, 2025, in a family tragedy. Their son Nick, 32, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; his arraignment is scheduled for January 7.
Romy was seen with friend Alex Siliberg, filling trash bags with debris from the sand and mud. Jake, wearing a Dodgers cap, supported the effort and shares a close bond with his sister. Since the killings—discovered by a family member—the siblings have been residing together in Malibu, with Romy taking regular shoreline walks.
The cleanup follows Romy and Jake's December statement expressing profound grief during Nick's initial court appearance, where they requested privacy and compassion. This beach effort reflects their commitment to channeling loss into community good amid adversity.
