Summer won’t be complete without a Dance Moms reunion!

While speaking to PEOPLE about her partnership with Jergens, Kendall Vertes, 22, recently dished that she is still in contact with JoJo Siwa, 21, and Kalani Hilliker, 24, despite it being challenging to see each other often.

“It's so hard for us to all meet together,” Vertes admitted. “We are literally all over the United States.”

"I still keep in touch with JoJo. I'll FaceTime her every now and then,” she continued. “She's actually in Kalani's wedding, so I will see her in Italy in September. We'll both be in Kalani's wedding, which is so fun.”

Vertes also shared some affectionate words for bride-to-be Hilliker, who she described as “always” having been her “best friend.” She explained, “We literally clicked the moment we met.”

She said she also keeps in touch with Brynn Rumfallo, Chloe Lukasiak and Brooke and Paige Hyland. She added, “I keep in touch with most of the girls. It's just hard. We all have such different lives now and [are] on different paths. But when it works out, it works out, and we always try to meet up with each other.”

The dance teacher announced her engagement to Nathan Goldman on Instagram in August 2024, alongside a series of photos from the couple's vacation in Lake Como in Italy. In the post, she shared snaps rocking a shiny diamond ring as she and her fiancé celebrated the engagement with hugs, kisses and other cute poses.

"A lifetime of this. I couldn’t be lucky enough or more grateful to get to be your fiancé," Hilliker wrote alongside the pictures, taken by photographer Roman Ivanov. "I love you forever Nathan🤍🦋."

Since the proposal, Hilliker has shared wedding update on her social media. Most recently, she shared an Instagram video trying on dresses and getting fitted at Undone by Kate for her welcome party and rehearsal dinner.
