The producer signals that the commercial break is almost over and it's time to settled down.

"In case you're just tuning in, today's guests are longtime friends of the Chelsea Show and some of my favorite people ever...Fifth Harmony!"

The girls entered and greetings went around the room.  "So ladies! How've you been?"

"We've been great, really busy, but great." Ally answered as everyone else got settled in their seats.

"For those of you who didn't know, Fifth Harmony is back in the studio and working on their 10th studio album,  a collection of Fifth Harmony's best records and a few new songs as well." Chelsea revealed to the audience. "One thing that I love about you girls is that you're super open with your fans, not only about things happening music wise, but in your personal lives as well.  Anything new going on? Last I heard, you all were going on another vacation together."

"Yeah, we try to take a vacation together every year, sometimes it’s just us girls and sometimes our husbands join us.  It's kind of become  tradition for us since we all got engaged on a trip that we take one right before things are getting busy." The audience cheered.

"So...does that mean that things are getting busy for you guys in your personal or professional lives?" Chelsea asked, trying to get something out of them.  

"Both actually. Recording an album is something that takes a lot of time and with this album, since it’s a collection of 'our greatest hits', we wanted to make sure that it sounded good.  When we recorded songs like Miss Movin' On, Don't Wanna Dance Alone, and Me and My Girls people told us what harmonies to sing and how the song should sound.  Of course, they turned out amazingly but we've been in the business for 20 plus years now and we've learned a lot since then and our voices have matured a lot.  So we're recording the same songs with a different sound." Dinah explained as everyone listened intently.  

"Since we're taking our time with the songs and handcrafting them to our liking, it's not like were pushed for time, which leaves a lot of time for our personal lives.  When we got married ten years ago, all of us, including our husbands, were very career driven.  Of course we wanted kids, but we were all so young that we thought we had time to explore that side of marriage.  Until Camila and Lauren got pregnant," Normani added.

"Wait...what? I know you guys had twins, but I assumed that was planned with your busy schedules and all..."

"It kinda was and it kinda wasn't.  Obviously we're two girls so we couldn't just produce a kid right then and there.   About two years into our marriage, the band was finishing the X-Factor tour with Carly Rose Sonenclar, and we were due for a break. Camz and I figured we'd just start looking into the process and see what would happen.  After billions of test and doctors appointments, we decided that I would carry since Camila was just had just broken her leg and was still healing.  Long story short, we got pregnant on the first try with our twins, Blair and Bennett."

"After seeing all the fun that Mila and Lolo had planning for BandB's arrival, I caught baby fever and the rest is history." Ally giggled as she revealed that secret to the audience

"All of your kids are in the zero to ten age range, right? How do they take to yall's busy schedules and constant traveling? “Chelsea inquired.

"They think it’s awesome that Mommy brings home things from all over the world.  But we don't travel as much now that they're older."

"Lev and I wanted to give Michael,  Thomas, Grace, and LJ the same childhood experience they we had when we were younger.  Levi works from 9am to 3:30pm every day, he drops and picks them up from school. I'm almost always home by the time they arrive, and if I'm not, then I'm at one of their houses." Normani gave insight to their routines.
