Rob previously adopted Tracy Reiner, the daughter of his first wife Penny Marshall. Tracy is Penny’s daughter from a previous marriage to Michael Henry. Rob and Penny divorced in 1981.
Nick previously opened up about his battle with substance abuse issues, which began in his teens. Nick, Rob and Michele’s second son, entered rehab for the first time around his 15th birthday, according to Parade. He had already done over a dozen stays in rehabilitation facilities by 2016.
“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas,” Nick recalled in 2016, according to People. “I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun.”

Nick claimed that his homelessness was a result of choosing not to return to rehab. “If I wanted to do it my way and not go to the programs they were suggesting, then I had to be homeless,” he said.
Nick is known for penning a screenplay titled Being Charlie. The film, which starred Nick Robinson and was directed by Rob, was loosely based on Nick’s life and battles.
“When I was out there, I could’ve died. It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it,” Nick said while promoting the film. “I met crazy great people there, so out of my element. Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family. But there was a lot of dark years there.”
