Rob Reiner appeared to have a tight relationship with his 28-year-old daughter, Romy.
The famous Hollywood director — who, along with his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, was allegedly brutally killed by their son Nick, on Sunday, December 14 — was often featured on Romy's Instagram.
In one post from last October, she jokingly inquired whether Rob, 78, would pay for her to have a "BBL," a.k.a. Brazilian butt lift.
Romy captioned a video, "Since the nepo thing isn’t working out, I’m asking my dad for some help in another arena… what do you think?"
Romy Reiner joked about her successful dad paying for her to have a 'BBL' in a 2024 Instagram post.
Romy Reiner Said Her Career Hasn't 'Taken Off'
Romy Reiner allegedly found her parents murdered in their Brentwood home in Sunday, December 14.
In the video, which showed her sweetly cutting her late father's hair, Romy started by saying, "My career hasn't even remotely taken off, as you know..."
"Yes..." he confirmed, which made her smile.
She then said, "I was thinking about it and I was wondering... I think the thing that could actually make me more unique and marketable is if I got a BBL."
"Would you be interested and okay with paying for that?" she asked.
Romy Reiner is the youngest child of Rob and Michele Reiner.
After the When Harry Met Sally director replied, "What's a BBL?" she explained, "People would take me a lot more seriously."
"Really? You think that will make people take you more seriously?" he responded. "Or...they'll just say, 'Boy, you're a-- is big.'"
"I think both," she answered.
