Reiner was introduced to his future wife, photographer Michele Singer, while directing ''When Harry Met Sally''. The meeting not only resulted in his decision to change the ending of that film,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ihnat |first1=Gwen |url=https://www.avclub.com/article/rob-reiner-his-favorite-films-and-why-he-changed-e-242010 |title=Rob Reiner on his favorite films, and why he changed the ending of When Harry Met Sally… |date=2016-09-03 |work=The A.V.

In 1997, Reiner and Singer founded the "I Am Your Child Foundation", and in 2004, they founded the "Parents' Action for Children", a non-profit organization with a dual purpose: 1) to raise awareness of the importance of a child's early years by producing and distributing celebrity-hosted educational videos for parents, and 2) to advance public policy through parental education and advocacy.<ref>{{cite book |last=Lavoie |first=Richard|title=It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend |year=2005 |publisher=Touchstone |location=New York |isbn=978-0-7432-5463-2 |page=xvii |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/itssomuchworktob00rich}}</ref>
