Former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed during an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, were supposed to see Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, on the night they were tragically found dead in their Los Angeles home. “We’ve known them for many, many years, and we were supposed to be seeing them that night,” Obama shared, expressing her shock at the news of their deaths, which were discovered just hours after their planned meeting, according to The Hill, HuffPost, and CBS News.

In the wake of the tragic deaths, Nick Reiner, the couple’s son, has been arrested and is being held without bail in connection with their killings, as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Reports indicate that the Reiners suffered multiple stab wounds, and Nick has been charged with murder, according to The Hill, HuffPost, and CBS News.

The former president also released a heartfelt statement mourning the couple, reflecting on their significant contributions to both film and social advocacy. He described Rob Reiner as a significant figure in the entertainment world whose work left a lasting impact, stating they were "heartbroken" over the loss, according to The Hill, HuffPost, and CBS News.
