Nick Reiner is gearing up for his 33rd birthday on Monday, September 14. However, this year will look very different from years prior, as he’s spending it behind bars at the Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Nick was arrested and booked on charges of first-degree murder after his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were found dead at their California home in December 2025.

According to Page Six, Nick, who will turn 33 in jail, will get the same treatment he’s been receiving when the clock strikes midnight on September 14.

“Birthdays are treated like every other day, no special treatment from LASD,” a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told the outlet.

The spokesperson added that inmates have access to phones and can use them during the preset schedule. “There are no additional privileges for birthdays.”

Jail Says It’s Nick Reiner’s Family’s Responsibility To Celebrate Him Behind Bars

While the jail staff won’t treat Nick any differently, the representative told Page Six that his family and friends can coordinate packages to come on his birthday.

“Inmates can still receive mail through normal channels and mail is inspected for any contraband before being given to the inmate,” they said. “If there was anything birthday related, the onus would be on the inmate’s family/friends/network to time the mail for it to arrive on the normal mail schedule.”

In addition, Nick is allowed visitors, and according to the jail’s schedule, Nick’s birthday is a “normal visiting day.”

Nick could still get some sweet treats for his birthday through the jail’s commissary. The list included candies, snacks, desserts, and beverages.

Nick Reiner was arrested on December 14 in California after he was accused of murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, in their Brentwood home.

According to LA County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman, Nick allegedly killed his parents in “approximately the early morning hours” before fleeing the scene.

At the time, Hochman confirmed that Nick had been arrested and charged with “two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders, and a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife.”

“Prosecuting cases involving family violence are some of the most challenging and heart-wrenching we face because of the intimate and often brutal nature of the crimes,” Hochman continued before praising Rob for his impact on the film industry.

“Rob Reiner was one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. His murder and his wife of more than 35 years, Michele Singer Reiner’s murder, are shocking and tragic. We owe it to their memory to pursue justice and accountability for the lives that were taken,” he said.

Nick reportedly had a strained relationship with his family and often feuded over his struggle with addiction.

In 2016, Nick co-wrote a film called “Being Charlie,” which followed a young man who struggled with drug addiction and also bumped heads with his famous father.

In a previous interview, Rob said working on the project with his son was like “therapy,” according to PEOPLE, and that Nick was the “heart and soul” of the film.

Nick’s case is still ongoing, and he’s currently being held without bail. Those closest to him are also struggling to cope, including Jake Reiner, who said he’s struggled to fully grasp what happened to his mom and dad.

“For me, it manifests into anger. It manifests into rage, into how unfair this was, how I didn’t get a say in what happened,” he said, per The Blast. “I didn’t get to stop it from happening. I had no choice in the matter. I just have to accept the reality of it.”

Jake also opened up about how his parents’ deaths have affected his sense of time. “It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes because every moment that I wake up, I’m reminded of my reality,” he shared.
