California Governor Gavin Newsom Issues Statement on the Death of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner

SACRAMENTO, December 15, 2025 (CALIFORNIA NEWS TODAY) — California Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom released a public statement acknowledging the deaths of director and writer Rob Reiner and producer and photographer Michele Singer Reiner.

Reiner was widely known for his work across film and television, including directing “The Princess Bride” and “A Few Good Men.” Singer Reiner had an established career as a producer and photographer. Both were recognized for contributions to the arts as well as civic and advocacy efforts.

“Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Rob was the big-hearted genius behind so many of the classic stories we love, with projects as wide-ranging as ‘The Princess Bride’ to ‘A Few Good Men.’ His boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations how to see goodness and righteousness in others – and encouraging us to dream bigger. That empathy extended well beyond his films. Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights — from taking on Big Tobacco to fighting for marriage equality to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works. Rob will be remembered for his remarkable filmography and for his extraordinary contribution to humanity,” said Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
