Bijou Phillips Requests Name Change for Daughter Amid Divorce from Danny Masterson

Bijou Phillips, the estranged wife of actor Danny Masterson, has filed a request to change their 11-year-old daughter's name from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips. The couple, who got married in 2011 and welcomed their daughter in 2014, are currently going through a divorce following Masterson's conviction for rape in 2023. Phillips had previously supported Masterson during his legal troubles but ultimately decided to end their marriage after his sentencing to 30 years to life in prison.
Despite standing by Masterson during his legal battle, Phillips ultimately chose to end their marriage following his sentencing. She has since moved on and was seen with her new partner, Jamie Mazur, in June 2024. The decision to change their daughter's name reflects the changes in their relationship and the desire to move forward separately. Phillips' friends and family have supported her decision to separate from Masterson, emphasizing the importance of accountability and protecting her assets in the future.
