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.
