Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams attend the Essence magazine Black Women In Music event.

Did everyone's hearts instantly begin to pound to the beat of "Bootylicious" when they saw Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams sharing a photo opp? Or was it just us with the high hopes that this could mean the Destiny's Child reunion rumor may be coming true?!

Kel and Michelle were snapped together attending the third-annual Essence Black Women In Music reception last night. We totally get that both singers are doing just fine with their solo careers -- Kelly's been dropping new videos and Michelle's been busy singing on Broadway (not to mention the group's famous third, Beyoncé, ain't suffering) -- but we'd like to imagine the two spent the majority of their time together reminiscing about the past. We bet they were all, "Remember when we were like, THE MOST AMAZING GIRL GROUP IN THE WORLD? That was fun!"

Ladies, PLEASE tell us you're gonna get back together someday -- 'cause we're really, really ready for that jelly.

WARNING: Kelly Rowland's new video "Keep It Between Us" includes some of the most romantic scenarios you could ever imagine. (DO NOT WATCH if you are recently post-breakup!) Intro scenes include a gorgeous montage of classic Paris moments -- swooning over the Eiffel Tower, sauntering down charming cobblestone streets, sipping café in a cafe, and Kelly, lovely as ever, cuddling up with a very good-looking dude in a fancy French hotel room. (Tough day job you got there, Kel.)

Even though the couple is in THE MOST ROMANTIC CITY IN THE WORLD, there seems to be a little trouble in paradise. Most of their time is spent in a lovey-dovey haze, capturing the pair going H.A.M. on some P.D.A. (it's Europe, guys, no one cares there), but occasionally viewers get a peek into an argument. Luckily  the couple's good times outweigh the bad, and they do like Disney taught us -- live happily ever after! Celebrate the moments of your life, guys.

Lesson learned: If a relationship is ever going sour, go to Paris together. Even if you break up, the pain au chocolats are TOTALLY worth it, oui?

Sure, I totally get that pop stars have to have a few regular friends, but I mostly think famous people just wanna be friends with other famous people. Why? Common ground! Take me, for example: I have no clue what it feels like to have private planes at my disposal, a famous boyfriend or a closet full of pricey clothes. But BFF's Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez can talk and bond about these things!

Demi totally understands how hard it is to date a dude in the limelight and can advise Selena on how to properly shoo away female groupies. And Selena totally understands what it's like having too many clothes in her closet and can let Demi in on where to purchase the most efficient and space-saving hangers! #PopStarProblems
