Bijou Phillips recently took a girls’ trip to the South of France. This trip came at a time when she is going through a divorce from her estranged husband Danny Masterson, who is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence.

During her trip, Phillips, 44, shared some highlights on Instagram. She posted a carousel of photos featuring her friends Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, Tish Weinstock, Sasha Pivovarova, Héloïse Agostinelli, and Paris Jackson.

Phillips shared on her Instagram, “Best Girls trip ever! Had sooooo much fun! It was a dream. Love you soooo much! @nickyhilton,” along with a photo of her and Hilton posing outside of a red phone booth, among others.

In response, Hilton Rothschild also posted photos from the trip on Instagram. She captioned her post, “Girls trip South of France edition.”

Phillips recently took a trip to France, three months after visiting Masterson in prison with their daughter Fianna. Masterson is serving a 30-year sentence for two counts of forcible rape.

In October 2023, Masterson agreed to give Phillips full custody of their daughter Fianna. This decision came after Phillips filed for divorce from the actor, ending their 12-year marriage.

Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her attorney, Lauzon Paluch, mentioned to TMZ that her main focus is on her daughter. The tough period has put a strain on the marriage and the family, but Mr. Masterson has always been there for Ms. Phillips during her hardest moments. She recognizes him as a great father to their daughter.

Since his arrest in 2020, Masterson has consistently denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

"I have consistently denied the false accusations against me since the beginning. Law enforcement thoroughly investigated these claims over 15 years ago and found them to be baseless," said the former That '70s Show star in a statement to Us in 2020. "I have never faced any criminal charges, let alone been convicted of any. In our country, the principle is innocent until proven guilty. But in today's environment, it feels like you are considered guilty as soon as you are accused."

Regarding Phillips, the actress and model shared with E! News at a 2024 Grammys viewing party in February that she was "doing well," and mentioned that she and Fianna had formed a strong bond as a team. An insider disclosed to Us in January that Phillips was focused on moving forward from the difficult situation and turning her attention to creating a fresh start.
