Dean Stott is one of the tough new directing staffers on SAS Australia, but behind closed doors he’s a loving father and dedicated husband. So who exactly is the woman who’s been by his side all these years?

Away from his no-nonsense military persona, the former special forces solider is happily married to his wife Alana, the former Miss Scotland, and the pair share two adorable kids together.
While Dean served a decorated career in the British military, Alana is just as successful in her own right.
The mother-of-two keeps herself busy as the president of publishing and productions company Wolfraven Omnimedia, and has written her own business book, How to Ask for Money, and a memoir, She Who Dares.
And just when you thought the wife of one of SAS Australia‘s toughest DS couldn’t get more impressive, she’s also a dedicated philanthropist.
In 2018, Alana raised $1.2 million dollars for a mental health awareness campaign at the request of Prince Harry, who happens to be one of her husband’s closest friends.
Dean and first met the Duke of Sussex in 2007 in North Yorkshire, England, when they were partnered together in a Forward Air Controllers’ training course.
Just 22 at the time, Harry – who was just about to embark on his first tour of Afghanistan – took an instant liking to Dean.
Dean and Alana share two adorable children, and regularly post sweet family snaps to their social media.
Alana praised her husband with a gushing post on Father’s Day last year.
“This Father’s Day, I would just like to say, a massive well done to me!! 👏🏼 I chose you to bring little people into this world with me, and my choice was perfect!” she wrote.
“You teach them to be strong, kind, caring, ambitious and resilient.”
In August 2020, on the couple’s eleventh wedding anniversary, Alana reminisced on meeting Dean during a public holiday weekend at a pub in England.
“Young, free and single with only my career and building my empire on my mind.
Fast forward 11 years and my empire is firmly established, only I realised what true empires consist of,” she penned.
“Love, friendship, family, strong hearts, happiness, respect and a solid team around you. If you have that, you have an empire even the Spartans couldn’t invade.”
