Marilyn Manson has rekindled his romance with Evan Rachel Wood. The odd couple began dating in 2007 but split a year later and briefly reunited earlier this year before going their separate ways once more.

Now the rocker has confirmed he and the star are giving their romance another try, telling MetalHammer.co.uk, "That's kind of breaking news - you can be the first one to say that."

During her split from Manson, the actress was romantically linked to actors Shane West and Alexander Skarsgard.

The reconciliation comes months after the rocker revealed he dreamed of doing his then-ex great harm and dedicated "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies," a violent track on his new album, to her.

Manson told Spin magazine, "I fantsizee every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer."
