Inside Marilyn Manson’s Relationship History
Rose McGowan (1997–2001)
Marilyn Manson and actress Rose McGowan were a prominent couple in the late 1990s. They reportedly met after McGowan sent him a fan letter. The couple became engaged, but the engagement ended in 2001. McGowan initially cited lifestyle differences, but in her 2018 memoir Brave, she elaborated on the public pressure they faced. She wrote, as reported by Newsweek: 'There was great love, but our lifestyles at the time were incompatible. I didn’t want to be a rock star's girlfriend forever.'
Dita Von Teese (2001–2007)
Manson began dating burlesque icon Dita Von Teese in 2001. They married in a Gothic ceremony in Ireland in December 2005. Von Teese filed for divorce on Christmas Eve 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. She later attributed the split to drug use and infidelity. In a 2021 Instagram statement, she clarified that her experience did not match the abuse allegations others made. She wrote, as reported by the LA Times: 'Please know that the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple. Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005. I left 12 months later due to infidelity and drug abuse.'
Evan Rachel Wood (2007–2010)
Manson and actress Evan Rachel Wood began dating in 2007 when she was 19. Their relationship inspired his album Eat Me, Drink Me. They were briefly engaged in 2010 before ending the relationship later that year. In February 2021, Wood publicly accused Manson of abuse, alleging years of manipulation and violence. Manson denied the allegations. By late 2024, he had withdrawn a defamation lawsuit against Wood and was ordered to pay her legal costs.
Esmé Bianco (2011)
Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco dated Manson in 2011. She later sued him in 2021, alleging sexual assault and coercive control. In a 2021 interview with The Cut, she said: 'I basically felt like a prisoner. I came and went at his pleasure. Who I spoke to was completely controlled by him. I called my family hiding in the closet.' Bianco and Manson settled her civil lawsuit in early 2023.
Lindsay Usich (2012–Present)
Manson began dating photographer Lindsay Usich in 2012. After an on-and-off relationship, they married in a private ceremony during the 2020 lockdown. The wedding was revealed in a conversation with actor Nicolas Cage for Interview Magazine, where Cage described joining via FaceTime. Since then, Usich has stood by Manson through his legal challenges and return to public attention in 2026.
