Absolutely not.
These animals will not tolerate one another.

You can keep hatchling veiled chameleons together until they are about three months old if you know what you need to watch for that indicates that they need to be separated.

I definitely wouldn't keep them together after that age.

If a male and female are left together after that they will mate as soon as they are sexually mature. At this point your female may not even be full grown...so you would be asking her to produce fertile eggs when she isn't even done growing her own bones. Its a recipe for trouble.
