Bijou Phillips was publicly spotted for the first time since undergoing a kidney transplant she desperately needed.
The actress was out with her boyfriend, Jamie Mazur, in Malibu, California, on Sunday. In pics obtained by Page Six, she wore a blue tank top, long denim shorts and a large sun hat to combat the extreme heat over the weekend.
Phillips, 46, enjoyed a bottled beverage as she sat outside with Mazur, 56, who wore camouflage shorts and a white T-shirt with a yellow smiley face on it. The “Almost Famous” star and the fashion businessman have been dating since 2024.
Phillips revealed on July 7 that she underwent a life-saving kidney transplant at UCLA amid her battle with kidney disease. She posted a picture of herself at the hospital, praising her surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Veale.
“He only cut the facia! He didn’t cut the muscles so I didn’t even really need much pain medication at all, just Tylenol!,” she wrote. “I feel at five days out like I did four months after my last surgery!”
She also shared, “I am beyond beyond grateful to everyone who rushed into help me, get checked to donate, you are all hero’s!”
Phillips first received a first kidney transplant from a friend in 2017, but Page Six learned in February that the kidney had failed, and she needed another one.
Her rep then confirmed to us that she was hospitalized at CORE Kidney at UCLA Health and receiving dialysis while waiting for another donor, noting that “time was of the essence.”
The socialite pleaded for help from her social media followers that month, sharing a photo of her and her daughter, Fianna, when she was born.
“I need help finding a kidney,” she wrote. “I’m asking as a friend, a sister, an aunt, and most importantly, as a single mother to an incredible and brave daughter. I am in need of a kidney.”
She shared that she had been born with underdeveloped kidneys, and that while her first kidney transplant gave her “8 precious years to be a mother to my daughter,” she’d since experienced “many complications.”
“Please help me find a living donor so that I can have more time with my daughter, family, and friends,” she wrote.
Phillips and her ex-husband, Danny Masterson, welcomed Fianna — now 12 — in February 2014. She filed for divorce from Masterson, 50, in September 2023 after he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for two counts of rape.
She and the “That ’70s Show” alum had been married for nearly 12 years before their split.
