Charlie Sheen back with Brooke

Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller have reunited.

The 'Two and a Half Men' star - who was arrested on Christmas Day (25.12.09) for allegedly threatening Brooke - was reunited with his spouse yesterday (08.02.10) after a judge modified a restraining order and allowed the couple to work out their differences.

The order was put in place after Sheen was charged with felony menacing and misdemeanour charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief, has been lifted on the condition the 44-year-old actor does not drink alcohol, is in possession of guns or harasses his wife.

Brooke's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the couple had hugged and kissed in Pitkin County Courthouse after the hearing before leaving separately. However, they both planned to return to their Los Angeles home.

Galanter said: "I can tell you, Brooke very badly wanted to have contact with Charlie. There are many children's issues that she wanted to communicate with him about.

"Brooke's desire was to get the order modified so they could have contact and communicate because of their children. Judge Boyd was gracious enough to grant that and now Charlie and Brooke are on their way back to Los Angeles to continue their lives."

The couple - who married in 2008 and have ten-month-old twin boys, Max and Bob - are keen to rebuild their marriage, and have asked prosecutors to drop the case.

They have not cohabitated since the temporary restraining order was put in place following Sheen's arrest.

The actor is due back in court on March 15.
