Her new beau opted for a white T-shirt worn under a jean vest. He finished his look with blue jeans and high-top sneakers.

Their PDA comes a week after they were photographed leaving the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles.

Phillips opted for an all-black ensemble for their night out, while Mazur sported blue jeans and a white T-shirt with a black jacket layered over it.

Earlier this week, a source told Us Weekly that Phillips and the RE/DONE founder, 43, have “run in the same social circles for many years” and met through Phillips’ friend, Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio.

The model and Mazur were engaged for 10 years but called it quits in 2018.

The insider added that Mazur “reached out to Bijou once he heard the news of Danny and wanted to make sure she was doing OK.” The relationship is reportedly “very new.”

Masterson, 48, was convicted of two counts of rape in May 2023 during a retrial of a case involving three women.

He was found guilty of forcibly raping two women in his Hollywood home in 2003, but a jury was unable to decide on a third verdict for an alleged assault regarding a former girlfriend.

Phillips supported him after he was charged with three counts of rape in 2020 and even attended his sentencing in September 2023 where he was ordered to spend 30 years behind bars.

Two weeks later, she filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage.

In February of this year, she broke her silence regarding her situation and said she was “doing good.” She added that she and her daughter make “a great little team”.

She and the That 70s Show star share a 10-year-old daughter named Fianna. The pair were seen visiting Masterson in prison to celebrate his birthday in March.

Ahead of Masterson’s sentencing, the Raising Hope star submitted a letter of defence for him and called him a “devoted father.”

“He helps her with homework every night. He teaches her math with kindness and patience,” she added.
