Danny Masterson and Wife Bijou Phillips' Relationship Timeline: See Photos

For better or worse. Danny Masterson and wife Bijou Phillips have stuck together in good times and bad.

The That ‘70s Show alum and Phillips initially connected at a 2004 celebrity poker tournament in Las Vegas.

“Every guy at the table was flirting with me but Danny,” the Almost Famous actress recalled to Paper magazine in 2009. “He wasn’t laughing at my jokes. I was like, ‘Who is this Danny Masterson and what does he think he’s doing?’”

Masterson confessed at the time that he only knew his now-wife — the daughter of the Mamas and the Papas’ John Phillips — by reputation only, calling her a “little crazy girl.”

“After Vegas, and talking to her a few times, I was shocked by how unbelievably intelligent she was,” the Men at Work alum explained to the magazine. “She knew every book I had ever read. I was like, this girl is amazing.”

After six years of dating, Bijou revealed to Us Weekly if she saw an engagement and wedding in their future.

“It’s not a yes; it’s not a no. It just sort of is, you know?” the Made for Each Other actress exclusively told Us in April 2008, before teasing her best relationship tips. “I don’t know. We just do. I wish I [had more advice]. This is my hidden tip — not talking.”

Us confirmed the following March that Masterson had proposed. They wed two years later in a romantic Irish ceremony.

The couple — who share daughter Fianna, born in 2014 — have also weathered challenges. In March 2017, Masterson was accused of sexual assault in the early 2000s by multiple women. As a result, he was written off from The Ranch, his Netflix comedy with That ‘70s Show costar Ashton Kutcher.

“From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me. Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them to be without merit,” Masterson told Us in a December 2017 statement, denying the claims. “I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one. In this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in the current climate, it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused.”

Masterson, who is a member of the Church of Scientology, was later arrested and charged on three counts of rape in June 2020. After being released on a $3.3 million bail, he pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The New York native’s criminal trial began in August 2022, and Bijou stuck by her man’s side.

“Bijou has been a total rock,” a source exclusively told Us that January. “She fully supports him and says they’ll get through this nightmare together and come out stronger.”

The court proceedings concluded the following November, resulting in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Masterson is currently awaiting a retrial.

Bijou, who had been privately battling kidney disease for several years, underwent a transplant in April. Masterson, for his part, assisted her recovery progress. “My lady has been slowing dying for the past 7 years of an incurable kidney disease. She was given the gift of an encore by a tall angel,” he wrote via Instagram after the surgery. “Our daughter will have a mother. We do not take lightly how incredibly fortunate we are. 100% successful transplant. Now the real work begins for her to silence any chance of rejection. Our deepest gratitude to a perfect transplant team. And a life owed to a tall drink of water. Sláinte!” Courtesy of Danny Masterson/Instagram

As the Urge actor awaited his initial trial, a source told Us that Bijou was “his rock.” “Even with [Bijou’s] support, a legal team he trusts implicitly and all that money in the bank, there’s no denying he’s walking around with this horrendous cloud hanging over him,” the insider said at the time of Masterson. “Once in a while, he heads out — dressed down and as incognito as possible — to fetch Starbucks or head to a meeting with his business team or lawyers. But 99 percent of the time, it’s Bijou running errands, doing the shopping and taking care of their daughter.” Brian Melley/AP/Shutterstock

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
