The late Rob and Michele Reiner‘s son Jake Reiner has married his fiancée, Maria Gilfillan, PEOPLE has learned.

Jake, 35, wed Gilfillan in a small ceremony in early August, according to TMZ, which was the first to report.

Jake shared a glimpse into the couple’s relationship in an October 2025 Instagram post, in which the pair attended a friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. It is not immediately clear how the couple met or how long they had been together before tying the knot.

The couple’s marriage comes eight months after the tragic deaths of Jake’s parents, filmmaker Rob and his wife, photographer Michele. In Jake’s recent interview with KABC-TV‘s Marc Cota-Robles about his life since his parents’ deaths on Dec. 14, 2025, he appeared to wear a wedding band.

During the interview, Jake spoke about the shock of the killings of his parents, in connection with which his brother, Nick Reiner, was arrested. Nick, 32, has since been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“It’s been eight months. It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes,” Jake said in the interview. “Because every moment that I wake up, I’m reminded of my reality.”

Jake described the shock he felt the moment his sister Romy, 28, called him to their childhood home, the scene of their parents’ deaths. He noted that he had seen crime scenes throughout his career as a local news reporter, but was shocked to find his own family at the center of one.

“When it’s your crime scene, like a crime scene at your childhood home, [it’s] like the most surreal thing I’ve ever seen,” Jake said.

Throughout the interview, Jake declined to answer questions about his brother Nick and his alleged role in the deaths of his parents. Jake did say he knew how his parents felt about Nick, and expressed that they had a hands-on approach to his recovery from drug addiction.

“My parents had unconditional love for all three of us,” Jake told the outlet of himself, Nick and Romy. “I can tell you they never stopped wanting to help him. They never stopped helping him.”

Nick remains behind bars at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. He was arrested hours after his parents’ murder near the campus of the University of Southern California and has been held without bail since.

He is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 15.

If convicted as charged, Nick faces death or life in prison without the possibility of parole. A decision on whether to seek the death penalty has not yet been made, per the district attorney’s office.
