reunite
Come together again
Reunite means to bring together again after separation.
People reunite with family members, old friends, or former bandmates: The group reunited for a twentieth-anniversary tour.
Lost pets reunite with their owners.
The word implies a prior connection—you can't reunite with someone you've never met.
A reunion is the event where reuniting happens.
