Speaking with Us Weekly, Rowland, 45, opened up about her love for Donna Summer, known for the hits “I Feel Love,” “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls,” and “She Works Hard for the Money.” Rowland’s love for Summer is actually so strong that she’d want nothing more than to portray the Grammy winner in a future biopic.

“I would love nothing more than that role. That’s all I can say,” Rowland said. “That’s all I can say for now.”

Rowland’s coy answer came weeks after the superstar singer appeared to tease herself dressed as Summer in an Instagram post with wavy hair and bangs.

“I’m hoping you won’t be waiting long,” she added. “All of us have our fingers crossed, toes crossed. We’re just totally crossed out.”

Kelly Rowland Talks Working With Her Co-Star Cliff ‘Method Man’ On Prime Video’s ‘Relationship Goals’

Since Destiny Child’s last full album in the early 2000s, Rowland has put out some solo music, but has spent the last several years working on different television shows, like “The X Factor” and “The Voice,” and filming movies, like Prime Video’s “Relationship Goals.” In her latest film, Rowland plays a television producer who reunites with her ex while competing for a job at a New York morning show.

In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Rowland opened up about her relationship with her co-star Method Man, saying that when they did their chemistry read, everything seemed to fall into place. “As soon as he did and he grabbed his little pillow, I was like [to director Linda Mendoza], ‘It’s him!’ And it was very vulnerable. We’ve never seen Cliff, ‘Method Man,’ like this,” she said.

Method Man Had The Utmost Respect For Kelly Rowland While Filming Their Movie

Method Man also praised Rowland while discussing his work on the film, calling the “Dilemma” singer a “consummate professional” who makes everyone around her extremely comfortable. “So, yeah, I mean, the chemistry was a given for me, honestly,” he added.

Rowland then discussed how she was able to relate to her character, Leah, stating that the fictional corporate baddie had been dealt devastating lows just as she had. “When we meet Leah, she’s very much so in control of her whole environment, her life, so she thinks she’s in control, and she’s dealing with grief,” said the mother of two. “I’ve had a bit of grief in my life and trying to mask it with work or not think about it. So I understood that with her.”

Rowland Talks Relationship With Beyoncé’s Mom

In December 2025, Rowland got candid about her special bond with Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles. Tina, 72, has been a mother figure to the Destiny’s Child alum since she was a child, even welcoming Rowland into her Texas home as the group worked to launch its career.

Consequently, Rowland has developed a close relationship with the “Matriarch” author, calling the fashion designer her “safe space” during a previous interview, per The Blast. “I’m heard, I’m seen by her. I see her; I hear her, and I love her with every fiber of my being,” Rowland said.

Rowland Thanked God For Providing Her With Two Mothers

Rowland, whose biological mother, Doris, died from a heart attack in 2014, spoke even further about her bond with Ms. Tina and expressed her gratitude for the motherly guidance and encouragement she’s always provided.

“I can’t believe that God thought the most of me to give me two moms that can give me that great amount of love, and then give me sisters as well with Bey, and Angie [Beyince], and Solange,” she said.

“The amount of love he’s given me through people I can never repay him for,” Rowland finished.

Tina echoed Rowland’s stance in a separate interview, saying that while she gave birth to two daughters, she’d really been blessed with four.

“Kelly, I know without a doubt that you were a true gift from God. You came to live with us when you were only 11 years old. You were the sweetest, most kind person I had ever met, and you still are. You are also a true survivor. You never give up. Your discipline and drive always inspires me,” Tina said.
