In a recent interview, Ally Brooke, a former member of the popular girl group Fifth Harmony, sparked hope among fans with hints of a possible reunion. The group, which originally consisted of Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani, Lauren Jauregui, and Dinah Jane, had captured the hearts of many before Camila Cabello’s departure in December 2016, followed by the group announcing an indefinite hiatus in early 2018.
Last November, Ally Brooke playfully engaged with the possibility of a reunion through a TikTok video. This June, during a visit to 1o3.5 KTU, she teased the idea further. However, it was a recent appearance on E! News that truly set the rumor mill ablaze.

During the E! News interview, Ally Brooke was asked about the recent NSYNC reunion, which naturally led to questions about the future of Fifth Harmony. Responding with optimism, she said, “I do feel like, in the future, we’ll get all the girls together. We may be working on something.” When pressed about the timeline for something new from Fifth Harmony, she nodded and confirmed, “Yes.”
The news spread like wildfire on social media, igniting excitement among fans who have longed for a reunion of the beloved girl group.
However, later that same day, Ally Brooke took to social media to clarify her earlier statements. She expressed her joy at the interest surrounding Fifth Harmony and emphasized that while there’s no official band reunion happening at the moment, something beautiful is occurring. She mentioned that “some beautiful friendships and relationships are slowly reuniting in a healing and empowering way.“
This statement left fans with mixed feelings, as it hinted at a potential reconciliation among the former members but didn’t confirm any immediate musical reunion.

It’s worth noting that the Fifth Harmony journey had its share of challenges. Camila Cabello’s departure in 2016 was followed by the group’s indefinite hiatus in 2018. In December 2019, past Tumblr posts resurfaced in which Cabello used racially derogatory language, prompting a public apology. Normani, the only Black member of the group, responded to Cabello’s posts in a written statement to Rolling Stone, expressing her own experiences with discrimination and her hope for growth and understanding.
In April 2022, Camila Cabello hinted that her relationship with her former bandmates was on the mend, mentioning that they had been supportive of each other through private messages.
As of now, there is no official confirmation of a Fifth Harmony reunion or new music on the horizon. While fans eagerly await further updates, they can find solace in the hope that the members’ relationships are slowly healing and evolving in a positive direction.
