According to People, Rob and Penny grew up close to one another in the Bronx, New York. After Penny’s performance on The Odd Couple in 1971, they finally got together and married.

They collaborated on More Than Friends in 1978, but they soon parted ways. Tracy Reiner, a child Penny had with Michael Henry when she was 19 years old, was adopted by Rob when they were married. Together, Rob and Penny had three grandkids.

Perhaps Tracy’s most well-known performance is as “Betty Spaghetti” Horn in Penny’s film A League of Their Own. She made a public statement regarding the passing of her mother.
