Danny Masterson's ex-wife Bijou Phillips is living it up on a luxury family vacation to the Bahamas – frolicking in the sand, posing in a bikini and joking with her sister – months after the rapist's husband was jailed for life

Danny Masterson's estranged wife Bijou Phillips has tried to put her husband's rape trial behind her by jetting off on a luxury family vacation to the Bahamas, where she punched the sand, posed in her bikini and joked with her sister. after her ex-husband was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

The actress, 43, jetted off on an 'essential' trip with some of her closest loved ones before Christmas – while convicted rapist Danny, 47, continues his 30-year sentence.

On December 20, she shared some snaps from the glamorous outing on Instagram.

“I took the most needed vacation ever,” she captioned a carousel of images that showed her soaking up the sun at the luxurious Goldwynn Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.

In one of the photos, Bijou lay on a lounge chair next to her brother-in-law Billy Baldwin.

She wore a red and white checked bikini, while dark shades protected her eyes from the bright sun.

She let her long blonde locks hang in loose waves around her face and went to the beach without makeup.

Another image saw the model lying face down on the chair, while a third was a selfie she took which showed off her clear skin tone.

Bijou was accompanied by her sister Chyna Phillips, 55, Chyna's husband, Billy, 66, and their three children, twins Jameson and Vance, 23, and Brooke, 19.

It's unclear if Bijou and Chyna's other sister Mackenzie Phillips, 64, or if Bijou's daughter, Fianna, nine, were there.

On her YouTube channel, Chyna shared a montage of clips taken during the holidays.

“It's a wonderful Christmas here in the Caribbean,” she captioned the post. “Billy and I are here with all the family and close friends.”

One photo showed her and Billy kissing near the bar, while another showed her eldest daughter Brooke running into the bright turquoise ocean.

The family was also spotted riding jet skis and splashing around in the lavish resort's pool.

Described as a “sleek, nostalgic and private oasis,” the Goldwynn hotel is located on Cable Beach in Nassau and offers stunning ocean views, a slew of chic amenities, spacious accommodations and fun activities.

Rooms range in price from $480 during low season to as much as $1,130 for one night during busier months.

At one point in the YouTube video, Bijou, wearing a colorful patterned swimsuit and a large sun hat, giggled with her sister on the hotel's boardwalk.

“I don't even know how to describe the joy and satisfaction,” Bijou said to the camera. “I'm so happy to be here with the family, we're just really enjoying our time together.”

“We're just trying to…” she said before leaving as one of the employees “photobombed” the video.

The sisters jokingly asked the man to join their conversation before it transitioned to another segment.

In September, Bijou's estranged husband Danny was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for raping two women in 2003.

A source told DailyMail.com at the time that Bijou – who married Danny in 2011 – was devastated that her life with Danny had been “completely uprooted” and was terrified of the consequences this would have for her and their daughter.

“Currently Bijou is circling the drain and is filled with all emotion and no emotion at all,” they said.

“She is a shell of who she has been. She's really trying to be strong for her daughter as she tries to figure out what life will be like for her.

'It can only be compared to a divorce or a death because she can no longer be with Danny like she can.

“They had their lives, and it's been completely uprooted and changed, and change is as scary and miserable as you can imagine.

'Friends try to be there for her, but it's very difficult. She's really trying to figure everything out and what her life will be like after all things are said and done.

“Whatever happens to Danny will change her life forever, and in a not-so-dignified word, it just sucks.”

While Bijou had remained by Danny's side throughout the trial, she filed for divorce on September 18, just over a week after his conviction.

In October, it was revealed that the That '70s Show star had agreed to give Bijou both legal and physical custody of their daughter.

Later that month, the Church of Scientology – of which Danny and Bijou were both long-time members – announced that Danny had been expelled from the organization due to his guilty verdict.

The actor was also declared a “suppressive person,” which the church defines as someone whose behavior is aimed at hindering the spiritual progress of those around him.

The label means that fellow Scientologists, including Bijou, must cut all ties with him.
