She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a Filipino father and a Hawaiian/Russian mother. She grew up in Louisville, Kentucky with stepfather Gary Scherzinger, who is of German descent, mother Rosemary and sister Ke'ala. I heard that she was taught a Hawaiian dance by her mother when she was a little child. Nicole took her step-father's surname, as he raised her and she has always considered him to be her father.
Yes you're right but still she knows she's half pinay eventhough she might not acknowledge her dad anymore. That's why she cried during her concert in Manila. She became too emotional in her concert.
