Beyoncé's Parents Are Especially Close To One Destiny's Child Member

Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé's decades-long friendship is certainly #BFFgoals. Despite their 1993 letdown on "Star Search," where Girl's Tyme placed runner-up, Beyoncé and Kelly held onto their dreams. By 2000, they reached the final iteration of Destiny's Child,  after the loss of several group members. Alongside newcomer Michelle Williams, the trio launched into mainstream stardom, managed by Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles.

Beyoncé shared that her parents held two different goals. While Tina Knowles-Lawson maintained a normal life for the girls, her ex-husband Matthew prepared them for showbiz. The "Break My Soul" songstress told Vanity Fair: "She's very strong and will say whatever she feels and protects me always, but she always kept me a normal kid ... My father was more focused. He wanted it for me and did everything because he's my father and wanted me to be happy, but he's a workaholic."

Matthew pushed the girls to work hard, and it paid off: In 2005, the World Music Awards named Destiny's Child the best-selling female group of all time. Even though they disbanded in 2006, the members of Destiny's Child still remain close. Always referring to each other as "sisters," they are aunts to each other's children: Kelly's sons Titan and Noah, and Beyoncé's children Rumi, Sir, and Blue Ivy. Fans would no doubt be excited for the iconic triad to hit the stage again, and even Matthew hopes that a Destiny's Child reunion will happen sometime in the future.
