Martine Singer Breaks Her Silence
Martine Singer said her family's lives are 'changed forever.'
Martine spoke with Extra about life since Michele and Rob were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood, Calif., home on December 14, 2025.
"Our lives are changed forever," she said. "I suppose you heal from a wound, but the scar is there. It's a really hard thing to describe because it never goes away."
Martine Singer Is Supporting Jake and Romy Reiner
Rob and Michele's son, Nick Reiner, was arrested in connection to their deaths.
Martine said she has remained close to Jake and Romy as they navigate life without their parents.
"Everybody in the family is healing in his or her own way. I'll never be my sister, and I can never be what's missing in their lives, but I consider them my kids. There's no daylight between us," she expressed.
The couple's other son, Nick Reiner, was arrested after Rob and Michele's deaths and charged in connection with the killings. He has pleaded not guilty.
In August, a grand jury indictment added allegations that Nick, 33, committed the murders by lying in wait and personally used a knife.

Nick Reiner Fights for Access to His Inheritance
Nick Reiner is fighting to access money from his family trust while he awaits trial for allegedly killing his parents.
Nick is also fighting to access money in his family trust as he awaits trial for the alleged murders of his parents.
In court filings, his attorneys argued that California's Slayer Statute should not prevent him from receiving money inherited from his grandfather, actor Carl Reiner, because Nick "is not accused of causing his death" in 2020.
His lawyers claimed that at least $325,000 from Carl's estate was transferred into Nick's trust in December 2024.
They also argued that Nick became entitled to at least $558,000 when he turned 30 in September 2023, over two years before his parents' murders.
