Thanks to her fame, her parents are also drawn to the limelight.

The couple was together for a while before they decided to go their separate ways, and Nichole was left with her mom.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the breakup, Alfonso Valiente was not a part of his daughter&#8217;s life during the initial stages of her development until much later when he reconnected with her.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who Is Nicole Scherzinger&#8217;s Mom, Rosemary Elikolani?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nicole Scherzinger&#8217;s mom, Rosemary Elikolani, was born around 1960, meaning she is now 64 years old. That said, her date of birth is unknown, but her daughter revealed in an interview that she has Hawaiian and Ukrainian heritage and her nationality is American.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rosemary was still a young teenager when she had her daughter. Not only was she a very young girl at the time, but she was also struggling and had no job or any means of supporting herself and the young child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">She stayed with her daughter in Hawaii for some time until age 4, when she moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where they settled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The career life of Nicole&#8217;s mom has not been well detailed, but it is known that at some point, she worked as a clerk in an institution in Louisville.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meet Alfonso Valiente, Nicole Scherzinger\u2019s Dad<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nicole Scherzinger&#8217;s father is Alfonso Valiente. While it is no secret that he is from the Batanes Islands, Philippines, most other things about him have remained elusive. Nonetheless, speculations have it that he was born in 1959, meaning he is now 65 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He had maintained privacy after leaving Nicole and her mother as a child before he returned later. The circumstances under which he came back have not been shared, but it was after she had already started recording some achievements in her career as an entertainer, having started when she was still a teenager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After he established contact with his daughter and they worked on their relationship, they became pretty close. In 2011, when Nicole got engaged to Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-2015493\/Lewis-Hamilton-engaged-Nicole-Scherzinger-reveals-Pussycat-Dolls-father.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alfonso granted an interview<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0where he described Hamilton as his future son-in-law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alfonso&#8217;s career path and what he has been doing for a living is one aspect of his life that has remained in the dark.

Although his date of birth and age are not known, Gary is known to be of American nationality and German ethnic extraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He came into Nicole&#8217;s life when she was still a very little girl. This happened after her biological parents broke apart, and her father left her and her mother. Gary and Rosemary fell in love and married, and afterward, he adopted her daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gary Scherzinger and Rosemary&#8217;s marriage is\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/meet-keala-scherzinger-nicole-scherzingers-sister\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">blessed with a daughter, Keala<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, whom they raised together with Nicole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even though he has a very famous daughter, Gary has always maintained a very private life;
