  • Kalen wants to know.

  • They want to know.

  • I can't confirm anything.

  • But I will say that I do miss my girls a lot.

  • And I miss being on the road.

  • I was born to be on the stage.

  • So I miss every day that I'm not.

  • So I wouldn't rule it out.

  • Where are you from?

  • I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky.

  • In Louisville, Kentucky.

  • Do you get home often?

  • I do.

  • Not as much as I do--

  • well, ever since my G'ma passed, like,

  • That's only on my mom's side, my tutu's side.

  • But we're just professional baby-makers.

  • Wai'anae in the house.

  • Anybody from the west side in Hawaii, hello.

  • What's it like?

  • I've got to know.

  • What's it like when you go home, because obviously, I mean,

  • you're a superstar, Nicole.

  • But when you get back around the fam,

  • are they just, like, it's just Nicole.

  • Or are they trying to do your choreography?

  • Like, you know?

  • They just keep it real.

  • You know?

  • Like, family, that's the best thing about going home.

  • Like, especially when I go back to Hawaii, and I'm just--

  • my family's is going to be like, wow, you picked that picture.

  • I mean, that's so many people though.

  • So cute!

  • Now, you're also into working out.

  • And this is something that I find funny,

  • because we have this in common.

  • You're into working out, but then every now and then,

  • you've got to stop and take a little dance

  • break from the workout right?

  • Now do people in the gym just stop

  • and be, like, that's Nicole Scherzinger

  • twerking in the corner?

  • Oh, my God, no.

  • Wow.

  • I think, because-- I think I'm actually

  • cheating, to take a breather and a break

  • from doing the weights and everything.

  • You got to keep yourself entertained.

  • When you, like, sweating it out, you got to have fun with it.

  • Absolutely.

  • And also, because I'm sure you're listen to music

  • as this is happening.

  • That's what I was gonna say.

  • I was about to say, yeah.

  • That's me listening to Lizzo right there.

  • There we go.

  • Every time.

  • Shout-out to Lizzo.

  • I've been listening to Lizzo before Lizzo was Lizzo.

  • I was, like, her die-hard fan in the beginning.

  • All her songs, like, "Come Water Me" and "Coconut Oil"

  • and "Worship Me."

  • OK?

  • All these songs, that's me.

  • And fitness-- that's me.

  • Absolutely.

  • Now look, we've got to talk about The Masked Singer,

  • because this is--

  • I mean, it's a smash.

  • You're in the second season.

  • It's been picked up for a third.

  • Now, when you read about what this show was going

  • to be about, were you, like, I don't

  • know if that's going to work.

  • How did you feel about that?

  • Yes, exactly.

  • That's exactly how I felt--

  • That's how you felt?

  • People were just, like, The Masked Singer!

  • And I'm, like, who knew?

  • No, obviously, when you sign on, you only

  • pray for it to be successful.

  • But we were, like, which way is this going to go?

  • This show is so trippy.

  • It's unlike anything else out there.

  • And it's just great to see how well-received it is.

  • And families are now coming together,

  • and kids are getting off the phone.

  • And it's just good fun.

  • It's really heartwarming as well.

  • I know everybody sees the spectacle of the costumes.

  • But then when you really pay attention

  • to some of these stories, you realize-- you know what?

  • We are all way more connected and all more

  • alike than we really seem, than we realize.

  • You know what I mean?

  • We're, like, dang, we all go through the same struggles

  • together.

  • Absolutely.

  • Well, I love that.

  • And I know you're loving that.

  • Because, again, it has become a family show.

  • I know, like, my kids love it.

  • And it's, again, one of those shows

  • that we can watch as a family.

  • And I know that's awesome.

  • Awe, thank you.

  • The Masked Singer airs on Wednesday at 8:00 on Fox.
