Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were married since 1989 and lived in an upscale Brentwood neighborhood known for its gated properties and tall hedges. According to The New York Post, their home was decorated for the holidays on Sunday.
Rob — the son of iconic comedian Carl Reiner — began his career in show business as a comedy writer in the 1960s. He worked as Steve Martin’s writing partner on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968 and ’69.
Reiner starred as Michael Stivic (also known as ‘Meathead’) in All in the Family during the 1970s, winning two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
He would go on to direct This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and the aforementioned When Harry Met Sally.
Michele and Rob shared kids Jake, Nick and Romy together. Rob also had a daughter, Tracy, from his first marriage.
Tracy was the first of Rob’s children to break their silence following the heartbreaking incident, telling NBC News’ entertainment correspondent Chloe Melas that she is ‘in shock’.
“I came from the greatest family ever,” Tracy said. I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock.”
