Ray J was officially allowed to see his children following an incident in November 2025 that allegedly involved a gun.
The actor was photographed affectionately with his estranged wife Princess Love after a hearing at the San Fernando Courthouse in Los Angeles on Friday. During the trial, a judge agreed to amend a protective order barring her from seeing her two children, Melody, 7, and Epic Norwood, 6.
“The restraining order was modified to allow Ray J. unlimited access to his children and wife,” Ray J.’s attorney confirmed to Page Six.
Sonya Norwood, mother of Princess Love and Ray J, gave evidence during the 30-minute hearing. The mother-of-two explained that Epic and Melody “missed their father.”
“The kids have been asking about him. They’re worried about his health issues,” she said. “I want them to see their father. They won’t be in any danger.”

Prince’s Love, who filed for divorce from the actor for the fourth time in February 2024, accompanied Ray J, 45, outside the hearing.
He looked in good spirits in a gray suit, despite suffering from “severe” pneumonia earlier this month and recently claiming he wouldn’t live until 2027.
Princess Love was standing next to him wearing a beige trench coat.
The “One Wish” singer was arrested in November 2025 for allegedly brandishing a gun and threatening to shoot a man during a Thanksgiving livestream with Princess Love and her children present.
According to Fox LA, the singer was released on $50,000 bail, but was later charged by Los Angeles city prosecutors with six misdemeanor counts, including brandishing a firearm, use of force, and child endangerment.
In early January, sources told TMZ that the “Love & Hip Hop” personality was in a Las Vegas hospital with “heart pain” while battling “severe” pneumonia.
He later predicted in a social media video that he only had a few months to live. “2027 is definitely the end for me,” he said. “That’s what they say.”
“You shouldn’t have tried so hard, brother,” he continued. “My baby mama is going to be straight, my kids are going to be straight. If you want to spend money, you can spend it. I’ve done my part here. And damn it, when it’s all over, don’t burn me and bury me,” he added.
The bedridden “Moesha” alumnus also gave an interview to TMZ, revealing that he remained bedridden and was told to take several heart-related medications, including Jardiance and Entrest.
He also claimed to have been advised to refrain from smoking and alcohol, and said he was considering traveling to Haiti for further treatment.
Ray J also claimed in a social media upload earlier this week that he “almost died” after being hospitalized, claiming his heart was “only beating at about 25 percent.”
