Kelly Rowland recently opened up about the meaningful relationships she’s maintained over the years with Beyoncé and Michelle Williams—and the idea of a Destiny’s Child reunion with all five original members, including LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, could be on the horizon.
According to Rowland, these women alongside her close friends, Ciara and Lala, “hold her accountable,” love her through the rough patches, and show up for the joy just as much as the growing pains. It’s not just industry camaraderie; it’s real life.
“I’ve known them for such a long time,” Rowland told PEOPLE. “They keep me grounded when I’m figuring things out. They love me through the messy moments. We laugh, we share joy, we tell the truth, we navigate life together—and that’s the best part.”
One of her longest-standing bonds, of course, is with Beyoncé. The two met as children while auditioning for what would eventually become Destiny’s Child, and their connection quickly grew into family.
Kelly even moved into the Knowles household at one point. Decades later, the love remains vibrant. Bey recently saluted Kelly on Instagram for her birthday with a carousel of throwback moments, captioned: “#RelationshipGoals Happy Birthday Kelly.” Kelly’s reply? “I WUV YOU MY BB.” The epitome of bestie goals, indeed!
Michelle Williams joined the group in 2000, completing the iconic trio. Today, the Destiny’s Child bond stays unbreakable, with fans losing their minds when the three reunited during the final show of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour last year. Black girl nostalgia at its finest, and honestly, many of us secretly hope for a reunion tour someday.
That sentiment comes as Kelly spoke with Complex about the potential for a reunion tour featuring the original members of Destiny’s Child, or “DC5,” which would see LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Robertson back alongside Beyoncé, Rowland, Kelly, and Michelle Williams.
“No,” Kelly said about the chatter surrounding a DC5 reunion. “No, I haven’t! But we always talk about DC3 reunions, always. I’m always talking about DC3 reunions.”
Her comments come in the wake of that epic Renaissance tour finale moment when Bey brought out Kelly and Michelle for an Internet-breaking reunion.
“It was a brief—yet incredibly beautiful—reunion at B’s last Renaissance tour when we all came together. It felt wonderful to catch up with the ladies, to be with them. I talk to LeToya all the time, and it was a truly beautiful thing,”
Would you be here for a DC5 reunion?
