Born to an American father of Mexican, English, Irish and Spanish descent, and a French mother of German, German Jewish (as Creel's matrilineal lineage is Jewish, he should be considered to be a Jew by Jewish law), Spanish and Mexican ancestry, he is a descendant of the Creel-Terrazas family via his father René Creel (1921–2009) who was one of the founders of the National Action Party.
