Jake Reiner’s First Appearance Since Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner’s Murders

Jake Reiner is moving forward.

The 35-year-old made his first public appearance since his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner were murdered in their Los Angeles home in December, stepping out for the premiere of HBO’s Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: an Almost History of America June 23.

Jake was all smiles in a gray tee, black pants, a black blazer and black loafers as he posed on the red carpet for Larry David‘s new show, which he appears in the first episode of as Private Wallace, per his IMDb.

“Attended the premiere of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness this week,” Jake wrote on Instagram June 25. “Comes out Friday on @hbo @hbomax, look out for me in the first episode.”

And after the podcaster has kept a low profile in the months since his parents’ deaths, Jake’s return to the spotlight was met with love and support. 

“He can’t change what happened but he can do his best to live a good and happy as possible life to honor his dear parents,” one person wrote in the comments of his post. “I’m sure it’s what they’d want. Sending love and positive energy to him and his sister.”
