Kelly Rowland said her friendship with Destiny’s Child bandmates Beyoncé and Michelle Williams has grown stronger over the years, even when they are not performing or writing together. Rowland appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday, November 12, where she described the group’s bond as comparable to a marriage.
Rowland said she and Beyoncé have known each other since they were eight and nine years old, and that the relationship became richer with Williams. “Time really gives you a richness and a strength and a bond in the relationship,” she said.
Rowland, 45, said people are often surprised when they see the group together. “We here for the long haul,” she said, adding: “I’m here, like, through thick and thin.”
Reunion Performance
Destiny’s Child last reunited when Rowland and Williams joined Beyoncé at the finale of her Cowboy Carter Tour in Las Vegas. The July 2025 show at Allegiant Stadium marked the trio’s first performance in seven years. They performed a medley that included “Lose My Breath” and “Independent Women.”
Group Background
Destiny’s Child released five albums. The last, Destiny Fulfilled, came out in 2004 and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The group notched four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Say My Name,” “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Independent Women” and “Bootylicious.”
