“Suzanne and Martine have stepped in to support Jake and Romy,” the source told Us Weekly.
They have also offered support to Rob’s adopted daughter, Tracy Reiner, whom he shared with his late ex-wife, Penny Marshall.

A Close-Knit Family Grieving Together
The source said Michele shared an especially close relationship with her sisters, making their presence even more meaningful during this time.
“Michele was very close to her siblings,” the insider shared, adding that they “are grieving as well.”
That bond, the source noted, has helped provide a strong foundation of comfort and emotional support as the family leans on one another.
Community Rallies Around the Reiner Family
Beyond their immediate family, the Reiners have also been embraced by an outpouring of support from close friends and the wider community.
“The community has really come together for the family as well, because Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner had such a huge network of close friends,” the source said. “Everyone just wants to help in any way that they can.”
The insider added, “Rob and Michele did so much for so many people, often things people don’t even know about. They were incredible people.”
Navigating Grief Amid Ongoing Legal Developments
The family’s grief has unfolded alongside excruciating and complex circumstances. The BBC reported that Rob and Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home on December 14.
Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been accused of murdering them at their Brentwood-area residence.
GettyHe was arrested the same day near a University of Southern California bus stop and is currently being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility. According to a CNN report, his arraignment is scheduled for January 7.
Sources previously told The Post that Romy, who turns 28 on December 27, discovered her parents’ bodies and later told authorities that Nick should be investigated as a person of interest. Jake, 34, and Romy have reportedly been leaning on one another as they navigate the loss together.
As the family moves forward, those close to them say the focus remains on healing, honoring Rob and Michele’s legacy, and surrounding their children with care during an unimaginable chapter defined by love, grief, and remembrance.
