As previously reported, sources told PEOPLE on Monday that Nick and his father had been involved in a loud heated argument during the holiday party on Saturday, with one source recalling Nick “freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous.” According to TMZ, the couple left the party following the argument.
Rob and Michele — who got married in 1989 after meeting while Rob was directing When Harry Met Sally… — were discovered on Sunday afternoon by their youngest child, daughter Romy, 27.
