recouples
Joins back together
Recouples means to couple again—to reconnect or rejoin things that were previously separated.
Most often used of romantic partners who break up and then get back together: The celebrity couple recoupled after a year apart.
The term gained currency from reality dating shows where contestants pair off, split, and recouple with new partners.
