Bijou Phillips and her new boyfriend Jamie Mazur were pictured publicly for the first time on Tuesday as they ventured on a romantic walk in New York City’s Central Park.
The socialite, 44, and the businessman, 43 – who shares two children with ex-fiancée Alessandra Ambrosio – were seen kissing and holding hands on the daytime outing in the Big Apple.
The romance marks the first for Phillips since she filed for divorce from estranged husband Danny Masterson, 48, less than two weeks after his 30-year prison sentence in his rape conviction.
Phillips, who is the daughter of late Mamas and the Papas singer-songwriter John Phillips and late model Geneviève Waïte, had been wed to the That ’70s Show actor from 2011.
Her divorce filing in California came after Masterson’s decadeslong prison sentence following his conviction in connection with the sexual assault of two women between 2001 and 2003.

Phillips, who shares 10-year-old daughter Fianna with Masterson, was a regular presence during her estranged spouse’s criminal trial in Southern California.
On Wednesday, the Greenwich, Connecticut-born model actress risked sparking controversy with her fashion choice.
She wore an off-white knit sweater over a white shirt that bore the former mascot logo of Stanford University’s Indians, which was discontinued by the educational institution in 1972 amid claims of culturally insensitivity.
The university said it scuttled the former mascot after a group of Native American students and staff said in a petition to officials that it represented ‘grotesque ignorance.’
In recent years, the NFL’s Washington Commanders changed their name from the Redskins, while MLB’s Cleveland Guardians changed their name from the Indians.
Phillips, who has been seen in films such as 1999’s Black and White, 2001’s Bully and 2007’s Hostel: Part II, rounded out her ensemble with black loafers and denim blue jeans, wearing her wavy blonde locks down.
Mazur – who was previously engaged to supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio until their split in 2018, and shares children Anja, 15, and Noah, 12, with her – matched his new love interest in denim, donning a matching blue vest over a white shirt with a pair of blue jeans.
Phillips – who recently enjoyed a lavish girls trip with BFF Nicky Hilton – is ‘very affectionate all the time’ with the entrepreneur, a source told Us Weekly in an article published on Saturday.

‘Jamie is a great guy and has been there for her through this difficult time,’ the insider continued in regards to the pair’s budding romance
Phillips and Masterson began dating in 2004 and five years later, became engaged. The two tied the knot during a romantic ceremony at a castle in Ireland in 2011 and welcomed their daughter, Fianna in 2014.
However, after 12 years of marriage, the Raising Hope actress filed for divorce from Masterson – the same month as his prison sentence.
She cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the separation while claiming they had been living apart for five years. Her ex-husband has since agreed for Bijou to have full custody of Fianna.
‘Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time,’ her lawyer, Peter A. Lauzon, told TMZ at the time. ‘Her priority remains with her daughter. This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family.
‘Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter,’ Lauzon continued.
Shortly before his guilty verdict, the mother-of-one penned a letter to the judge and labeled the actor as a ‘life-saving partner’ as well as ‘an amazing father’ to their daughter.
She also added that ‘Danny has always been against drugs and helped so many friends and colleagues get sober…’

In conclusion, Phillips wrote, ‘We need him more than you can imagine. I know he has been convicted of serious crimes. But the man I married has only been an extraordinary husband to me and a devoted father to our daughter.’
Masterson is currently serving his prison sentence at the California Men’s Colony located in central California.
He was moved to the medium security California Men’s Colony earlier this year in February after initially serving time at the maximum-security Corcoran State Prison – where Charles Manson had also notably served his own sentence.
And in March, both Phillips and her daughter visited Masterson at the prison on his 48th birthday.
A source had previously told DailyMail.com that Phillips had found Masterson serving time in a maximum-security prison that had also housed Charles Manson ‘very triggering’ and ‘stirred up past emotions that she is still trying to deal with.’
‘She has been able to go out and also vacation which has been a stress relief to get back to a somewhat normal life, but it still hurts her inside that her life is forever changed.’
‘It is going to get better but also it will take forever to heal from it all. She has had a very stressful life dealing with this and what her father has been accused of,’ the insider added.
‘It has been an emotional toll that has taken her to places of extreme stress and heartache. That is going to continue for a long time.’

Following Masterson’s sentence, Phillips appears to be moving forward in her life amid the divorce, new romance, and a string of high-profile public outings.
Phillips enjoyed a luxurious girls trip last month in May to London and France with close friend, Nicky Hilton Rothschild and fashion designer Rebecca Vallance-Gasan.
The sister of Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram account to share special moments from the getaway.
In one image, both Phillips and Nicky posed in front of an iconic, red telephone booth while exploring the city.
Another snap showed the actress donning a pink and white-striped minidress as she sipped on a refreshing drink by the sandy shore.
