Kelly Rowland says Destiny's Child bond is like a 'marriage'
Kelly Rowland has opened up on her close friendships with Beyonce and Michelle Williams.
Kelly Rowland has compared her friendship with Beyonce and Michelle Williams to a "marriage situation".
The 45-year-old singer still has a close bond with her Destiny's Child bandmates, and their friendship has strengthened as they've grown up together over the years.
She told The Jennifer Hudson Show: "Me and Bey have known each other since we were eight and nine years old. Now we’re in our 40s with children.
“The relationship became richer with Michelle. It’s so rich. Time really gives you a richness and a strength and a bond in the relationship.
"When people see us together, they’re kind of shocked because sometimes, especially girl groups, that was there for that time, but honey, we here for the long haul.
"When we said that kind of ‘I do’ with each other, it’s like, ‘Oh no, no, I’m here through thick and thin. That’s a friendship type of marriage situation.”
The trio last reunited for Beyonce's Cowboy Carter Tour finale at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas back in July 2025.
Kelly has sons Titan, 11, and five-year-old Noah with husband Tim Weatherspoon, while Beyonce is mom to Blue Ivy, 14, and nine-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with husband Jay-Z, and they have loved raising their families at the same time.
She recently told E! News: "It's so crazy that that's a thing. We noticed that this summer and how they're all just growing up so beautifully.
“It's a blessing to be able to share a lifetime of love with my sisters. All of them.”
And Kelly previously insisted "female tribes are crucial to life" as she reflected on the Destiny's Child bond.
She told ELLE magazine: "I hear so many people call it a 'tribe' now and it's very true, you need your tribe.
"So many women say, 'oh my god, I love your relationship with the girls [Destiny's Child]' ... and it's because we all genuinely want to see each other be great and go after things that we're passionate about. And if we feel like one [of us] needs a little push, we do that, whether they're ready for it or not.
"It's about being there and making sure they push themselves. You have to be able to have that honesty, love and admiration for each other. I think that female tribes are crucial to life, to everything."
