YouTube fans are begging for the return of the "Sister Squad" now that Emma Chamberlain has confirmed she and James Charles are friends again.

Back in a simpler era of YouTube, Chamberlain, Charles, and the Dolan twins, Ethan and Grayson, joined forces to create a mega-popular series of collaborations. The "Sister Squad" videos tended to rack up tens of millions of views each, and the four friends traveled and hung out together frequently in 2018. 

But starting at the beginning of 2019, the squad began to fall apart. Chamberlain initially unfollowed Charles during a self-proclaimed social-media cleanse, when she trimmed her Instagram following down to just 17 people. Then, during the explosive drama between Charles and beauty guru Tati Westbrook, termed "Dramageddon 2.0," the Dolan twins unfollowed Charles and Charles unfollowed all of his former squad members. 

Over a year has passed since Charles' feud with Westbrook started, and she has since walked back all her initial claims. Now, Chamberlain and Charles have also moved past their friendship split. 

After being spotted at the same party, Chamberlain and Charles refollowed each other on Instagram

Despite the "Sister Squad" being in the past, Chamberlain and Charles still moved in the same LA influencer social circles. The pair were both spotted at the controversial Hype House birthday party for member Larray in late July. They each took pictures with the TikToker. 

Just over a week later, Chamberlain and Charles re-followed each other on Instagram, multiple drama and "tea" pages reported. Fans reminisced over the "Sister Squad" glory days.

Then, on August 7, a Hollywood paparazzi named Hollywood Fire stopped Chamberlain while she was jogging and asked about her friendship with Charles. When asked if they'd "rekindled" their friendship, Chamberlain responded: "Yeah, he's great. I love him."

Chamberlain also confirmed that she received Charles' new butterfly-themed merchandise, saying: "It's literally so amazing. I'm really proud of him, it looks great."

TikTok fans also noticed that Charles commented on a TikTok of Chamberlain and wrote "omg she looks so beautiful" around the same time he followed her back on Instagram.

There's still no sign the Dolan twins are back on board to complete the old squad, but at least Charles and Chamberlain seem willing to spend time together in the near future.
