"They never lost hope in him, even when he was scaring them or making their lives harder," the source added.

They shared that "Nick had so many good days too," noting that his struggles would "change day to day. They thought they had more time before it resulted in tragedy."

Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead inside their Los Angeles home on December 14, 2025. Nick Reiner appeared at the court on December 17 and his lawyer Alan Jackson declined to enter a plea for his client. Now, his arraignment will continue Jan 7, 2026.
