The nastiest of all of the bad-boy rockers, Marilyn Manson, has reportedly rekindled his romance with much-younger actress Evan Rachel Wood. The shock rocker says a recent identity crisis was responsible for getting their relationship back on track.
Marilyn and Evan were first linked romantically in 2006 – when Evan was just 19 years old – following Marilyn’s split from burlesque star Dita Von Teese. They dated for over two years before splitting in early 2009.
Now Marilyn (40) says, “Sometimes you feel awkward being what you’re best at – you feel like you have to be something new. But I think that a lot of people will agree that me being me at my best is what I need to be. I think that has really paid off because I’m back with Evan.”
But it’s not all good news for Marilyn, whose real name is Brian Warner. The star’s been dropped by his record label amid claims they were stifling his creativity. Marilyn says he’s now going to make the music he wants, explaining, “I think it’s going to be more romantic – maybe self abusive.”
