HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood have rekindled their romance after splitting up last year.

"I'm back with Evan, that's kind of breaking news, you can be the first one to say that," Manson revealed Thursday in an interview with the U.K. magazine Metal Hammer.

Manson, 40, and Wood, 22, first started dating after the shock rocker's 2006 divorce from Dita von Teese. Von Teese has claimed in interviews that the pair had an affair that ultimately led to her split from Manson.

Since the breakup, Wood has been romantically linked to a number of stars, including her Wrestler costar Mickey Rourke. Both Wood and Rourke frequently denied that their relationship was romantic.

Most recently, tabloids have reported Wood getting close to her True Blood costar, Alexander Skarsgard.
