Regarding his ethnicity, he stated:

My mother is French Canadian and my father is Spanish… [My father’s] great-grandmother was from Spain, but she immigrated to the Philippines. That is where my grandfather was born and raised and then he moved to the U.S., where he married an American woman. That is where my father was conceived… We never spoke Spanish growing up. I know what I know from learning it in school and from being in Miami.
