Destiny's Child reunion rumours have been bandied about for years, but will Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams actually consider getting back together? According to Beyonce's Dad, Matthew Knowles, it's a big fat yes.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Knowles (who is no longer Bey's manager, but used to head up the group), revealed he's got a lot planned for the band.
"I am extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour," he shared before adding, "I'm working on a few Destiny's Child projects right now."
Among those "projects" were plans for a possible film or TV show about the band's fame - and a second tell-all book written by Knowles.
He said: “My second book will be the autobiography of Destiny’s Child. I’m talking to the film and TV community right now, regarding a Destiny’s Child movie or TV series of some sort. But I still manage the ladies -- Destiny’s Child -- and I’m hopeful that within the next two to three years we’ll see something major come from it.”
The girls are certainly still pally - they reunited on stage at the Gospel Music Awards earlier this year to perform Michelle Williams' track Say Yes - and Michelle told The Hollywood Reporter she was still good mates with Kelly and Bey.
"I have their back and they have mine. They have showed themselves to be loyal to me time after time. They have proven they are my sisters time and time again."
Now, can those "sisters" unite? Or at least "say yes" to a biopic - we would totally watch that.

Listen up people, we come heralding bittersweet news.
According to reports, a Destiny’s Child reunion could be in the works. But, before you start selling family members to pay for tour tickets, be warned that there is an obstacle to overcome, in the shape of Bey’s philandering dad Matthew. He literally ruins everything.
According to a new report, the trio - Beyoncé, 33, Kelly Rowland, 34, and Michelle Williams, 34 – are keen to do a 10-year reunion tour, as well as releasing their first new album as a group since 2006. The problem? They don’t own the full rights to their name.
‘Although Destiny’s Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé’s father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well. Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny’s Child, he has involvement in it and money from it,’ a source told the Daily Mail Online.
Apparently none of the girls want Matthew to have any involvement in their reunion, and who can blame them? Beyoncé severed her professional relationship with her father in 2011, after Matthew fathered a love child while married to Bey’s mum Tina (he later re-married, and fathered a second love child)
The source continued: ‘At best they maybe could offer him a flat rate or one-time settlement to buy out his portion of the group, but otherwise we may never get a Destiny’s Child reunion because none of them want him to benefit financially.’
Can’t they just re-christen themselves Destiny’s Children and GET ON WITH IT???
