And that he is inspiring his younger siblings by example. We had a blast at the wedding and we love you Riley! (Frances please show this to him since he’s no longer in the Insta bubble)."
Tony Hawk shares Riley Hawk with ex-wife Cindy Dunbar. In addition to Riley Hawk, Tony Hawk is also a dad to three other children from past relationships.
