Fergie says she gets her “fire” from her Latin ancestry.
The Black Eyed Peas singer believes she inherited the passionate side of her character from her Mexican grandmother.
She said: “Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry. My Dad’s grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it - that’s probably where I get my fire! I love going to Mexico. Cabo San Lucas is my spot. I love to hang out by the pool, go fishing, shop for furniture, and I’ve taken painting classes over there. It’s beautiful.”
However, the 33-year-old singer admits she doesn’t like to put too much emphasises on her Latin roots. She added: “I don’t go around claiming it big time because there are many more full-bred Latinas that are out there to represent.”
Meanwhile, Fergie has revealed she is keen to start a family with fiance Josh Duhamel, and is planning to ask fellow pop star Gwen Stefani for parenting guidance.
She said: “I’d like to ask Gwen some advice about being a mom, because she’s done a really great job.” Gwen has a 22-month-old son, Kingston, with husband Gavin Rossdale, and is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child.
Fergie opens up about her battles with drug addiction and how it inspired her to help people with HIV in the April 2008 issue of Marie Claire. She talked about her gritty history, speaking of her childhood career and how it crystal meth entered her life. She then talks about the changes in her behavior because of her drug dependency and her subsequent downward spiral. Looking at where she is right now, you’d never know that all of that went on in her life. She’s really come a long way and she’s helping others with all her success. Kudos to you Fergie!
Just another celebrity rumour to add to my belief 2008 is baby boom year.
