Rob and Michele Reiner made their final red carpet appearance with their three kids — including son Nick, a person of interest in their deaths.
Three months before the couple were fatally stabbed in their Brentwood, Calif., home, they attended the “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” premiere with daughter Romy and sons Nick and Jake.
The family members were all smiles posing for group photos in September.
Rob and Michele, notably, were found by their daughter on Sunday and declared dead at the scene.
While celebrating the “This Is Spinal Tap” sequel as a family earlier this year, Romy coordinated with her mom in an all-black outfit.
Jake posed in a Nike windbreaker and brown corduroys alongside partner Maria Gilfillan at the Los Angeles’ Egyptian Theatre.
Nick, for his part, sported a black suit and tie.
As for Rob, who was 78 at the time of his passing, the director paired a graphic tee and a blazer with jeans and a baseball cap.
Rob’s eldest daughter, Tracy from his first marriage to ex-wife Penny Marshall, was not present at the event.
Over the weekend, the Emmy winner’s surviving family members honored him and Michele with a touching statement expressing “profound sorrow” over their murders.
“We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” their loved ones wrote.
Ben Stiller, Jamie Lee Curtis and more celebrities have since spoken out about the tragedy as well.
“What a huge loss,” the “Happy Gilmore” actor wrote via X on Sunday, while Curtis called the slayings “violent [and] tragic” in a statement to Variety.
TMZ reported Monday that Rob and Michelle, who died at age 68, had their throats slit by a family member during a heated argument.
Romy allegedly claimed this person was “dangerous.”
Nick has battled drug addiction in the past and co-wrote a semi-autobiographical movie that his dad directed, “Being Charlie,” in 2015.
“It was very, very hard going through it the first time, with these painful and difficult highs and lows,” Rob Reiner told the Los Angeles Times about the film, admitting that making it “dredged it all up again.”
