What Happened Between Bijou Phillips and Her Ex-Husband, Danny Masterson
Who is Bijou Phillips?
Bijou Phillips is a famous actress, model, and singer from the USA. She joined the entertainment industry in her early teenage years. By the time she was 13, she had already graced the cover of Interview magazine. She soon made an appearance on the cover of Vogue Italia.
Phillips found herself in the entertainment world from a young age, which helped her decide to become a model when she was a teenager. Being a daughter of a rock star contributed significantly to her decision to pursue that career.
She signed a record deal with Almo Sounds when she was seventeen years old, and in May 1999 she released her debut album, I’d Rather Eat Glass.
Phillips started working as an image model for Calvin Klein later on and was featured in multiple commercials featuring young people wearing white panties. The campaigns drew harsh criticism for being alarmingly pedophilic. She’s stated how much she is opposed to the modeling industry.

Bijou Phillips Was Born in Connecticut
Phillips (43 years old) was born to John Phillips and Geneviève Waïte (John’s third wife) on April 1, 1980, in Greenwich, Connecticut, United States. She has an older brother named Tamerlane, and three half-siblings Mackenzie, Jeffrey, and Chynna from her father’s previous marriages.
Bijou’s parents divorced at some point and circumstances forced her to be under the guidance of a foster care family in Bolton Landing, New York. It was determined that none of her parents were suitable to be her guardian.
Her parents who had separated lived in the neighborhoods of the foster care family and she used to make some visits to her parents’ house. Her father gained parental custody while she was in her third year of school, and she moved with him to Lloyd Harbor, a community in the Town of Huntington, Long Island.
