Epilogue

TAKE FIVE CLOSES OUT FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR AS brIGHT FUTURE AWAITS

Take Five has officially wrapped up their first European tour, performing to packed stadiums across the continent. The teenage boyband, comprised of Hudson Shaw, Jude Turner, Neil Hadley, Finn Parker, and Zach Miles, continues to dominate the pop music scene, two years after their breakout on The Next Great Boyband.

Though their tour has come to an end, the band is showing no signs of slowing down. Fans can expect new music on the horizon, as the boys have already hinted at returning to the studio. And despite the whirlwind of touring, the band remains close-knit and committed to their journey together.

As Take Five prepares for their next chapter, the boys are also preparing for personal milestones. With most of the members entering their final year of high school, balancing fame and academics will be the next challenge.

Lead singer Hudson Shaw, who has been in a long-term relationship with Megan White, expressed excitement about the future while still focusing on finishing school alongside his bandmates. Hudson was the first of the band to get a girlfriend and announced it nine months ago in a livestream Q&A, saying he was the “luckiest guy in the world to be able to say that she's in love with him.” They will be going into their senior year of high school together.

Finn Parker is gearing up for his senior year as well, supported by his girlfriend Nina Russo, who fans have seen cheering him on from the front row. Nina—younger sister of Finn’s bandmate, Jude—has been quoted as saying, “Sure, I’m looking forward to my brother coming home, but I’m really mostly excited to see my boyfriend.”

Luckily for Jude, the band’s resident joker, he has plenty of other people to welcome him home. His other siblings, Asa and Lilah, have both said it will be exciting to have him home, with Lilah adding that “it’s hard to get the whole family together nowadays.” Lilah was seen alongside her sister Nina in London at the same time the boys were there, enjoying their summer break from school. The three of them will be returning to school in the fall, with Jude going into his senior year, alongside girlfriend Sloane Evans. Sloane, a rising star on social media, has been documenting their adventures on tour, much to the delight of their followers .

The youngest member of the band, Neil Hadley, is also looking forward to his return to school, starting his junior year. His girlfriend, Grace Evans, has been making a name for herself online, making viral videos about their relationship and exclusive interviews with the band members. A “certified fangirl” herself, she has quickly become a fan favorite.

“Grace has always been my biggest fan," Neil shared in a recent interview. Though he added with a cheeky wink, “But Jude’s always been her favorite of the band.”

Meanwhile, Zach Miles has taken a different path. Having just graduated from high school, he’s preparing for his freshman year at college. Zach will be attending University of Toronto online, so he can pursue his studies while balancing his commitments to the band and visiting his girlfriend, Ivy Wade, who is entering her senior year of high school. Although the couple prefer to keep their relationship private, Ivy was seen by his side in nearly every stop of the tour.

As Take Five continues to rise, fans can rest assured that their favorite band is sticking together. With new music on the way and plenty of personal milestones ahead, the future is looking bright for these five young stars—and the girls who have captured their hearts.
