Fifth Harmony came together after initially failing to progress in the competition as solo artists.
After the show, they had a hugely successful career and won numerous awards, thanks to tracks such as Boss and Worth It.
The band announced an indefinite hiatus back in 2018 - but could soon be making a big comeback.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved group is in talks to reunite.
However, this reunion would not include Camila Cabello, who exited Fifth Harmony back in 2016, much to fans' devastation.
Taking to X, some Harmonizers have shared their disappointment over Camila's absence from the potential reunion.
One penned: "Then it won't make as much noise. It's not a true reunion without Camila..."
Another added: "WE DON'T WANT IT WITHOUT CAMILA."
After Camila's departure, the remaining members - Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregi and Normani - continued on as a four-piece for almost two years.
Since taking their break, all members have since released solo singles.
The band's parting of ways in 2018 came just a month after The Sun revealed the group were likely to split after US label Epic focused more on former bandmate Camila Cabello's success than theirs.
Taking to Instagram at the time, Fifth Harmony broke the news to their fans.
The group said: "Reflecting on the past six years since we started on X Factor, we've realised just how far we've come and we appreciate everything so much, more now than ever.

"We've had one hell of a memorable journey together and can't begin to express our gratitude to y'all for coming along with us on this wild journey.
"After six years going hard, non stop, we realise that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors."
They continued: "We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find our footing as individuals.
"In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family."
Over the years, fans had been begging for a reunion - with previous rumblings back in 2023.

"Your tickets will be valid for the new date. Sir Rod." Fans flocked to the comments to send their well-wishes to the star following the announcement. One wrote: "Hope you feel better soon, travelled from the UK especially to see the show tonight. Gutted is an understatement. Going home in two days, so can't make the rescheduled date." Another said: "I'm here and disappointed but more concerned that you stay well." A third added: "You're a legend and a treasure, so please look after yourself." A fourth weighed in: "We love you dude, please take a night." Sir Rod has dates lined up all over the world this year including the Legends slot at Glastonbury later this month. He recently revealed he fears he will die if he gives up touring. He said: "I enjoy going out on tour now more than I've ever done at this ripe old age of 80. "I'm doing seven concerts in Vegas and then I am everywhere around the world. "I'm playing Athens, Germany, three nights in Buenos Aires, two nights in Rio, it goes on and on and on. "It keeps me fit. You have got to be fit to do it. "I would probably die if I didn't do it. I have seen so many guys that have to give up their career and retire and they have got nothing to wake up in the morning for. "I don't know what they do with themselves. They must get up and go 'What do I do today? Down the betting shop? Have a drink?' I don't know."

Napoli's savvy Scott McTominay decision revealed with Serie A champions set to benefit from Scotland ace's mega stardom
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTT McTOMINAY has taken Naples by storm since making the move last summer. Now, Napoli have made a shrewd move to PROFIT from the mania surrounding the Scotland hero. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Napoli chiefs are looking to benefit from McTominay mania Credit: Getty 3 The Scotland hero is a huge Napoli fans' favourite Credit: Getty 3 His nickname 'McFratm' has taken the city by storm Credit: Reuters McTominay, 28 sealed a £25million switch to the Serie A giants from Manchester United last season. He seemed to immediately get a new lease of life and has never looked back. Establishing himself as a fans' favourite from the off, McTominay finished the season as THE undisputed hero in the eyes of Napoli's famously fanatic band of followers. The fandom only heightened when the Hampden hero netted a stunning overhead kick to send Napoli on their way to a 2-0 win over Cagliari on the final day of the season - a victory that saw them crowned champions of Italy. On the same night, he was also named Serie A's MVP for the 2024/25 season. In the days that followed, McTominay thrilled fans by being front and centre of the wild celebrations that followed. Napoli supporters have shown their love for the Scotland star in many weird, wonderful and extravagant ways. A stunning shrine to the midfield ace appeared in the city centre, pizzas have been named in his honour and one fan even got a TATTOO. The incredible ink didn't, however, bear McTominay's name, instead carrying 'McFratm'. Like McTominay himself, his nickname has taken the Italian football world by storm. Scott McTominay dances with old fan while puffing on cigarette as never-ending Napoli title party continues Coined by a teammate, the player himself revealed it was his favourite of all the nicknames he'd been given, with McTerminator among the others. McFratm basically translates to 'McBro' and many Napoli fans have taken to referring to the midfielder by the term instead of his actual name. It's born from the Neapolitan word 'fratermo' which means 'my brother.' It's appeared on scarves, T-shirts and even on the mural in Naples. But that could all be about to change after Napoli made a big decision. According to Gazzetta, Napoli have TRADEMARKED 'McFratm.' Scott McTominay's career Born in Lancaster on December 8, 1996 Joined the Manchester United youth system aged five and signed his first professional contract in 2013 Made his Premier League debut against Arsenal in May 2017 McTominay went on to win Carabao Cup and FA Cup with Man Utd Made 255 appearances and scored 29 goals for the Red Devils McTominay joined Napoli in August for £25.7million Born in England, he qualified for Scotland through his dad who's from Helensburgh McTominay was called-up by Scotland in March 2018 and has gone on to become a huge Hampden favourite He was part of the squad at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 He won his 50th cap while playing against Germany at Euro 2024 McTominay has scored some huge goals for Scotland, including an injury-time winner against Israel and his famous double in the 2-0 win over Spain in Glasgow The shrewd move means the club are hoping to benefit commercially from the incredible buzz surrounding McTominay. Napoli filed for the trademark in the middle of last month and covers nine different product categories. It means the club will be able to license and realise an abundance of 'McFratm' merchandise as well as using it for marketing and promotional purposes.

Nurse reveals the ‘worst baby name ever' and confesses ‘it keeps me up at night'
NO KIDDING Nurse reveals the 'worst baby name ever' and confesses 'it keeps me up at night' FINDING the perfect name for your little one isn't always easy. You could go the classic and traditional route, or push the boat out and give them a much more unique moniker. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Some people weren't convinced the parents would really be allowed to give the name to their child Credit: Getty 2 The controversial name left many stunned Credit: Getty Either way, the name parents give their newborns will definitely be judged by strangers, friends and family. But there's one name more likely to receive some of that harsh judgement. This comes after one Reddit user revealed the name nurses from their local delivery centre deemed it the 'worst name'. Apparently, one baby was unlucky enough to be called Richie Rich Putin. The moniker is a combination of actor Macaulay Culkin's 1990s film Richie Rich and the last name of Russian president, Vladimir Putin. 'I used to think the name laws are more strict [in Germany] than in other countries,' the Reddit user wrote. 'The city will decide whether the name you chose is an actual name or the child will be bullied for it.' But somehow, little Richie Rich Putin wasn't picked up on by authorities. 'Just felt like I had to share that while lying awake thinking about my soon-to-be-born child's name,' they added. But after sharing the unusual name on the social media site people couldn't believe any parent would really use the name on their bundle of joy. Peppa Pig's Mummy Pig gives birth to third baby as GMB reveals first pic and piglet's sweet name 'Do parents really hate their child that much? Or do they think it's funny and don't think it through for the kid's future?" one person commented. "That poor child. Can you imagine all oligarch bootlicking that must go on in its home," a second said. Meanwhile, someone else said: "Wow, and they gave my mom sh*t back then because my name apparently wasn't masculine enough. "They tried to get her to give me a more traditional German middle name. She stood her ground long enough that they gave up." But the name isn't the only unusual one that cause a stir online recently, as one mum decided to name her son after a mode of transport. Taking to Reddit, the mum-to-be's concerned cousin revealed that she was desperate to talk her out of the unusual name. She said: "I just got invited to the shower for my cousin's baby, and she's naming the baby... "Trucklyn. Banned Names in the UK The UK has no law restricting names, but names that contain obscenities, numerals, misleading titles, or are impossible to pronounce are likely to be rejected when registering a child. Hitler Monkey Cyanide Martian Akuma Chow Tow Rogue "No one is saying anything in the group chat about the fact that they're going to name this baby Trucklyn. "I think I have to go to the baby shower to try and get them to change it, or at least figure out why." The cousin added that she had tried to figure out if the name was a joke, but had so far been unsuccessful. Reddit users flooded the comments section with their thoughts, with many critical of the unique moniker. One person said: "It is your duty to try to convince them to change the name. A second person said: "Poor kid wont stand a chance."
