Danny Masterson's Ex-Wife Bijou Phillips Hospitalized With Kidney Failure as She Urgently Seeks Second Transplant

Danny Masterson's ex-wife, Bijou Phillips, is urgently seeking a second kidney transplant after being rushed to the hospital.

The model, 45, is currently under the care of UCLA Health and is on dialysis until a living donor can be located, sources told a news outlet on Wednesday, February 11.

Phillips received her first kidney transplant in 2017 from a close friend, but it has since failed.

The actress has "suffered many complications" since the first transplant, including the "BK virus, which led to both cellular and antibody rejection."

The Connecticut native is in stable condition, but "time is of the essence," according to her rep.

Multiple outlets reported that The Bridge to Nowhere actress was born with underdeveloped kidneys and spent the first three months on dialysis in the NICU. She has continued to battle kidney disease since then.

Phillips also shared a plea on Instagram, asking her followers for their help in finding a living donor so she "can have more time" with her daughter, family and friends.

"Please read and share. and if you are interested in becoming a living donor, please go to the link in my bio and fill out a brief form," she captioned the post.

Phillips has kept a low profile since finalizing her divorce from Masterson in late 2025.

Phillips and Masterson tied the knot in 2011 and share one daughter, Fianna Francis.

Her September 2023 divorce filing came two weeks after Masterson was found guilty of raping two women on separate occasions in the early 2000s.

Though Phillips stood beside Masterson throughout his trial, sources at the time hinted that she filed for divorce to "protect her assets."

"A few reasons she has sought a divorce are twofold," one insider revealed. "Recently, friends and family have told her to be a mom first and to consider divorce because it really shows her daughter that eventually people need to be held accountable for what they do, even if it is someone they love."

In a more recent update, Phillips filed to change the name of her daughter from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips, swapping out her ex-husband's surname for her own.

"After Danny was convicted, their lives were turned upside down. Bijou was incredibly sad for herself — she loved Danny and they were happy," a source told a news outlet at the time. "But she felt sickly sad for her daughter."
