Jamie Lee Curtis Says She Became a Grandmother a Week After the Reiners’ Killings

Curtis’s remarks highlight the private toll as the murder case moves toward an April 29 hearing.

Overview

  • Curtis disclosed on the IMO podcast Wednesday that her daughter, Annie, welcomed a baby boy in December, one week after Rob and Michele Reiner were killed.
  • She said the couple were Annie’s godparents and that the deaths occurred on Annie’s birthday.
  • Curtis said she cleared the announcement with Annie beforehand and quoted her message to Michelle Obama: “Tell her I love her.”
  • The case now moves toward an April 29 preliminary hearing after the medical examiner ruled the deaths a homicide from multiple sharp‑force injuries and Nick Reiner entered not‑guilty pleas to two counts of first‑degree murder.
  • Reports note Nick Reiner struggled with addiction and was diagnosed with schizophrenia before his parents’ deaths, details frequently cited in news coverage and court reporting.
