Fergie Claims She Gets Her "Fire" From Her Latin Ancestry

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 emphasizes on her Latin roots.

She added to Latina magazine: "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.
