Summary
- Bijou Phillips is moving on for her daughter Fianna's sake.
- She felt 'sickly sad' for her daughter after Masterson's conviction.
- Phillips has requested a name change for their daughter, Fianna.
Bijou Phillips is reportedly prioritizing her daughter Fianna's well-being following the conviction of her ex-husband, Danny Masterson. Sources indicate Phillips felt profound sadness for their 11-year-old daughter after Masterson was found guilty of two rape charges, noting their lives were "turned upside down." Despite her personal sadness, Phillips has resolved to move forward for Fianna's sake.
Phillips and Fianna continue to live on their family farm in Santa Inez, a move that emphasizes her dedication to providing stability. In a significant step towards separation, Phillips filed for divorce shortly after Masterson's sentencing.

The court has also granted the couple single status. Phillips' legal team has stated her priority remains with her daughter during this "unimaginably hard" period, highlighting Masterson's role as a father.
