Jake and Romy Reiner honor parents with first pitch at Dodgers game

On August 2, 2026, Jake Reiner (35) and his sister Romy Reiner (28) stepped onto the mound at Dodger Stadium before the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Boston Red Sox. Wearing custom Dodgers jerseys with the family name, the siblings threw ceremonial first pitches as a tribute to their late parents, director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, who were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home in December 2025.

Jake posted on X, "The Dodgers have always been a huge part of our family," adding that he felt closest to his father while watching games together. Romy echoed the sentiment, saying the ceremony honored both mother and father. After their throws, the siblings posed for photos with Dodgers outfielder Alex Call and infielder Miguel Rojas.

The tribute comes months after their younger brother, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with two counts of first‑degree murder in the parents’ killings. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody awaiting trial. The event highlighted the family's long‑standing connection to the Dodgers, a bond passed down from Rob Reiner’s own father, Carl Reiner.
