Riana Crehan credited parents Jane and Paul Crehan as part of her story in SAS Australia. Riana Crehan mum Jane is a caregiver.
Crehan is a well-known Australian broadcaster on the frontline. She is focused on covering Supercars for the entire 2022 Season on Foxtel/Kayo.
Before that, she had been one of the most recognized faces on FOX Sports and Channel 10 as a pit lane commentator.
Best known as the former host of V8 Supercar Television, Riana has directed her fame and notability toward her family.
Riana Crehan Parents Are Jane and Paul Crehan
The Super Car Championship host Riana Crehan was born to her dad Paul and mother Jane.
In a family of five, the Crehan couple shares two other children, Tom and Danielle. Their son Tom Michael is a paramedic, the only son, and the youngest child of the Australian Crehan couple.
He is yet to be married in 2022 but has a pet dog, which he often boasts on his Instagram.
Paul and Jane’s eldest child Danielle is also a thrill seeker, walking through hills and forests as she hikes with her husband, Neil O’Driscoll.
With Riana and Dannez’s successful married lives, the elderly couple welcomed new families into their small world. Sadly, Paul passed away in 2020 and SAS fans reacted to the sad news broken by Riana.
After Riana’s marriage to the two-time Bathurst 1000 champion, Will Davison, Paul and Jane have maintained good bonds with their daughter’s parents-in-law, Richard and Penelope.
Riana’s father-in-law is the Australian Formula 2 champion who himself hails from a racing family. The retired racer Richard is the son of the four-time Australian Grand Prix winner, Lex Davison.
The Davison motorsport family is another big-name family in the car racing industry, with Will’s brother, Alex, being the 2004 Australian Carrera Cup Champion.
The Tragic Story Of Riana Crehan Father Paul
Riana Crehan passed the demanding tests of SAS Australia in 2021, where she tearfully opened up about her father Paul’s sad demise.
The late Mr. Crehan was born on June 10, 1962, and suddenly passed away at 58 on July 20, 2020, breaking everyone’s hearts.
His wife, Jane, had found him unconscious in their family home’s lounge room lying on the couch, from where he was sent to immediate medical help to no avail.
Riana called the news sudden and unexpected as she tributed him on Twitter. Talking to SAS experts, the Super Cars ambassador proclaimed that she had been talking with her mother that night, and if only she had hung up the phone, her mother could’ve reached Paul much sooner.
The regretful Riana interacted with her father daily, and his demise significantly changed her life.
As the previous year was full of struggles with the motorsport media pundit losing her job during the Covid-19 pandemic, she took on to the reality quasi-military training show to overcome many harsh moments of her life.
Her sister Danielle’s Instagram stories show that the late Paul Crehan had a distinctive love for handling wild animals and worked in the same field.
He had once taken a seven-foot-long snake to a classroom where he interacted with students while wrapping the reptile around his neck. It is only explainable that the Crehan trio siblings got their love for adventures from their father.
Riana Crehan Mother Jane Is A Nurse
Jane Crehan is the mother of Riana Crehan who raised her and two siblings. She works as a nurse and a caregiver.
Jane was born on February 28 and met her late husband, Paul, at 16. This young couple got engaged at 18 and married on April 7, 1984. The lovebirds’ love story was successful with a happy family with three children and a good reputation in their society.
Jane worked as a night shift nurse while Paul was a wildlife specialist and a caregiver. While Mrs. Crehan passed down the medical passion to her son, her late husband gifted his adventurous side to his two daughters.
With everything in place, Riana’s mother continued to look after her big family while caring for her mother-in-law.
Life changed for Jane after her husband’s unforeseen expiry, but as Riana confirmed through Tre Ball Active in 2020, her mother continues working as a nurse. Despite her medical issues, she has also not stopped looking after the Crehan grandmother.
Her brave story of overcoming such a significant loss in life has made her an inspiration, Riana mentioned in an Instagram post.
Jane has a private Instagram handle where she mainly posts about her children and her lovely family.
