Jamie Lee Curtis Says She Became a Grandmother Days After Rob and Michele Reiner Were Killed

Curtis disclosed it on Michelle Obama’s podcast with her daughter’s permission.

Overview

  • Curtis, who shared the news Wednesday on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson’s IMO podcast, said she became a grandmother in December when her daughter Annie welcomed a baby boy.
  • She said the birth came about a week after the deaths of Annie’s godparents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, who were killed on Annie’s birthday.
  • Curtis explained that she asked Annie before going public, quoting her response to Obama as, “Tell her I love her,” and noting the family had kept the baby’s arrival private until now.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled the Reiners’ deaths a homicide caused by multiple sharp-force injuries, and their son Nick was arrested, charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and pleaded not guilty.
  • Nick Reiner remains in custody with a preliminary hearing set for April 29, as Curtis and husband Christopher Guest say their focus stays on supporting the Reiners’ children while balancing grief and privacy.
