Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland have known each other for more than three decades. The two went from living together, to performing together, to becoming aunts to each other’s children.

The “Motivation” singer was 11 when she moved in with Beyoncé and her family, the “Halo” singer’s mom, Tina Knowles, said in a 2015 essay for TIME.

Prior to Rowland moving in, she and Beyoncé were already singing together at age 9 in what would later become their legendary girl group Destiny’s Child, the “Cuff It” singer said in a 2004 interview.

The two have been best friends ever since, undoubtedly becoming closer with each life stage they tackle. They’re now both married with kids:

Rowland, who shares two sons, Titan, 8, and Noah, 2, with husband Tim Weatherspoon; and Beyoncé, who shares three kids, Blue Ivy, 11, and 6-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, with husband Jay-Z.

Rowland and Beyoncé made their mark in the music industry with Destiny’s Child, which primarily included Michelle Williams as the third member, but LeToya Luckett, Farrah Franklin and LaTavia Roberson were also members at various times.

Outside of the group, Beyoncé and Rowland have continued to break barriers and shape trends as solo artists. When Beyoncé became the first Black woman to headline Coachella in 2018, Rowland and Michelle joined her in a surprise Destiny’s Child reunion.

Although the group has yet to announce if they will officially reunite for a sixth album, Rowland did acknowledge that she loves being on stage with her close friends.
