Jake Reiner Returns to Dodgers Podcast, Says Baseball Keeps Him Close to His Father

His on-air remarks mark a careful step back into public view during an ongoing murder case against his brother.

Overview

  • Jake Reiner returned to The Incline: Dodgers Podcast on Wednesday, thanking supporters and saying the Dodgers will remain his lasting bond with his father.
  • He said he delayed his return until after his April 24 Substack essay, which shared personal memories of his parents and sought to connect with others experiencing grief.
  • Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found fatally stabbed on Dec. 14, 2025, and the medical examiner determined both died from multiple sharp-force injuries.
  • Prosecutors charged Jake’s brother, Nick Reiner, with two counts of first-degree murder; he has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bail at Twin Towers in Los Angeles.
  • The case is still in early stages, with a Sept. 15 preliminary hearing scheduled to determine whether the evidence is sufficient to proceed toward a trial.
