Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals She Became Grandmother in December

Published 2 April 2026

Jamie Lee Curtis revealed on Wednesday that she and her husband, Christopher Guest, became grandparents in December when their eldest daughter, Annie Guest, gave birth to a baby boy.

The 67-year-old actress shared the news during an appearance on the podcast "IMO," hosted by former First Lady Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson. Curtis, known for roles in films like "Freaky Friday" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once," described the arrival of her grandson as a profound moment, especially amid profound loss. The baby was born just one week after the deaths of Rob Reiner, the acclaimed film director, and his wife, Michele Reiner, who were longtime friends of the family and served as godparents to Annie, 39.

The Reiners died on December 14 in their Los Angeles home from multiple sharp force injuries, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, which ruled the deaths a homicide. Their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested the following day and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court on April 29. The couple, aged 78 and 70 respectively, also leave behind sons Jake and daughter Romy.
