Bijou, who divorced her husband Danny Masterson last year after he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for rape, was happily posing for pictures at thealice + olivia by Stacey Bendet Pride party when Cuba, 56, made his way over to her.
The father-of-three was dressed for the occasion in a multi-colored striped sequin jacket, which he teamed with a plain black T-shirt, matching pants and white Adidas sneakers.
Cuba threw his arms out as Bijou shared her delight at bumping into him on the red carpet and told onlookers twice: 'Let us have our moment!' before pulling him in for a long, drawn out hug.

Bijou kept her hands placed on Cuba's shoulders as the duo engaged in an intimate conversation
The mother-of-one squeezed Cuba tight as he whispered something in her ear and stroked her back, and when she finally let him go, she kept her hands on his shoulders as they enjoyed an intimate conversation.
The pair then spent a significant amount of time posing for photographers together at the party, which featured a very special performance by Paris Hilton.
It seems Bijou and Cuba have known each other for many, many years and were pictured together at a party in Los Angeles in October 2005 alongsideCaroline D'Amore.
In June 2023, Cuba avoided a civil rape trialafter reaching a last-minute legal settlement with the woman who claimed the Oscar-winner assaulted her in a New York Cityhotel 10 years earlier.
The news emerged just one week after Bijou's now ex-husband Danny, 48, was convicted of two of three counts of forcible rape.
The That 70s Show star was sentenced to an indefinite period of 30 years to life in prison in September 2023.
Shortly before his guilty verdict, Bijou penned a letter to the judge andlabeled the actor 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, Bijou 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.'
However, just 11 days after his sentencing, Bijou filed for divorce and cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the separation while claiming they had been living apart for five years.
'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.'
The That '70s Show actor, who is currently imprisoned at the California Men's Colony, has since agreed for Bijou to have full custody of their daughter, Fianna.
A source previously told DailyMail.com that Bijou had found Danny 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.
