In a surprising turn for the notoriously volatile couple, Princess Love successfully petitioned a Los Angeles judge on Friday, January 30, 2026, to amend a criminal protective order against her estranged husband, Ray J.
The decision follows a series of alarming social media updates from the “One Wish” singer, who claims his health is in terminal decline.
Key Details of the Legal Shift
The protective order was originally issued following Ray J’s arrest on November 27, 2025, after he allegedly brandished a firearm during a heated livestream argument with Princess Love.
- Unlimited Access: The judge modified the order to allow Ray J “unlimited contact” with Princess Love and their two children, Melody (7) and Epik (6).
- Safety Assessment: During the hearing, Princess Love testified that the children miss their father and are deeply concerned about his health. She assured the court that “they would not be in any danger.”
- Family Support: Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, also appeared in court to support the amendment, emphasizing the need for family unity during his medical crisis.
Ray J’s Health Crisis
Ray J, 45, has spent the early weeks of 2026 sharing grim updates about his physical condition, which he attributes to years of extreme substance and alcohol abuse.
- Prognosis: In a January livestream, Ray J claimed doctors told him he has “just months to live,” stating, “2027 is definitely a wrap for me.”
- Heart Condition: He revealed his heart is currently operating at only 25% capacity and described it as having “turned black.” He admitted to consuming up to five bottles of alcohol and 10 Adderall pills daily at the height of his addiction.
- Hospitalizations: This follows a January 7 hospitalization in Las Vegas for severe pneumonia and heart pain. Ray J has mentioned plans to travel to Haiti in February to seek alternative treatments, calling it a “last-ditch effort.”
Relationship Timeline
This legal reconciliation comes as the pair navigates their fourth divorce filing, which Princess Love initiated in February 2024. While the divorce remains active, both parties have expressed a desire to “wipe the slate clean” for the sake of their children given the severity of Ray J’s reported condition.
