Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s son Nick has been arrested on charges of murder in his parents’ stabbing deaths, Page Six can confirm.
The 32-year-old is being held at Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles, with his bail set at $4 million, a rep for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Office tells Page Six.
Rob’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
News broke of the couple’s death on Sunday, with Nick identified as a person of interest.
Rob and Michele were found by daughter Rory in their Brentwood, Calif., home after allegedly having their throats slit during a heated argument with a family member.
The duo were declared dead at the scene over the weekend.
Rob and Michele were 78 and 68 years old, respectively.
In addition to Nick and Romy, they are survived by son Jake, as well as Rob’s daughter Tracy from a previous marriage.
The couple’s “heartbroken” family members issued a touching statement in the wake of the “sudden loss.”
“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” Rob and Michele’s loved ones told Variety.
“We ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” they concluded.
The late director, in one of his final interviews, made a chilling comment about his children to Piers Morgan in September.
When asked about his favorite movie he’s worked on, Rob replied, “Listen, people have their favorites. [It’s] the cliché, ‘We love all our children, even the bad ones.’”
Nick, notably, has battled drug addiction since his teens and collaborated on a semi-autobiographical film with his dad in 2015 called “Dear Charlie.”
While promoting the project, Nick told the Los Angeles Times that he was “sick of” his struggles amid repeated rehab stints.
“I come from a nice family,” he said. “I’m not supposed to be out there on the streets and in homeless shelters doing all these things.”
