After six years, Kelly Rutherford has reunited with her children in New York City, just in time for the Fourth of July weekend.

Back in 2012, Rutherford’s ex husband Daniel Giersch left the United States with their two children, Hermes, 8, and Helena, 6, and the two have not been allowed to reenter the the United States, causing Rutherford to have to travel to Europe to see her children.

Back in May, the court decided the children should be allowed to reenter the United States.

For the summer, Hermes and Helena are allowed to remain in the United States, but People reports, the children will have to go back to Monaco with their father. But Rutherford will continue to fight for custody.

The Gossip Girl actress was spotted with her children outside of an apartment building in New York City, with her new boyfriend, Assistant Manager of Gucci, Tony Brand.

Rutherford posted an Instagram photo on Saturday of a birthday cake for Helena, captioned “Belated birthday celebration!”
