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.
