Bijou Phillips was recently spotted with her new partner, Jamie Mazur, during a romantic stroll in New York City’s Central Park. The couple’s public outing marks a fresh start for Phillips, who filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Danny Masterson, shortly after his conviction and 30-year prison sentence for rape.
The 44-year-old socialite and 43-year-old Mazur, a businessman and ex-fiancé of supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, were photographed kissing and holding hands during their daytime date in the Big Apple.
Phillips, the daughter of the late singer-songwriter John Phillips and model Geneviève Waïte, had been married to Masterson, star of That ’70s Show, since 2011. The former couple shares a 10-year-old daughter, Fianna.
Bijou Phillips and Jamie Mazur embark on a new chapter as they enjoy a romantic walk in Central Park.
A new chapter: Bijou Phillips moves on with new partner, Jamie Mazur, after a challenging period.
The actress and model’s choice of attire during the outing with Mazur sparked some controversy. She wore an off-white sweater over a shirt featuring the former mascot logo of Stanford University’s Indians, discontinued in 1972 due to cultural insensitivity.
In recent times, sports teams and educational institutions have made efforts to address insensitive branding. Notable examples include the NFL’s Washington Commanders, formerly known as the Redskins, and MLB’s Cleveland Guardians, who changed their name from the Indians.
Phillips, known for her roles in films like Black and White, Bully, and Hostel: Part II, paired her sweater with black loafers and denim jeans, styling her blonde locks in loose waves.
Mazur, who shares two children with Ambrosio, matched Phillips’ casual look with a denim vest, a white shirt, and blue jeans.
According to a source, Phillips and Mazur’s relationship has been blossoming for the “last two months,” with the entrepreneur providing a supportive presence during a challenging time for the actress.

Phillips and Masterson’s relationship began in 2004, and they became engaged five years later. Their wedding in 2011 was a romantic affair held at a castle in Ireland, followed by the birth of their daughter in 2014.
However, after 12 years of marriage, Phillips filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and revealing that they had been living apart for five years. Masterson agreed to grant Phillips full custody of their daughter.
The actress’s lawyer, Peter A. Lauzon, acknowledged the challenging period, stating that Phillips’ “priority remains with her daughter” and that Masterson had been a supportive partner during her difficult times.
Prior to Masterson’s conviction, Phillips wrote a letter to the judge, describing him as a “life-saving partner” and an “amazing father” to their child.
