The famed fairytale romance between 39 year old Marilyn Manson (née Brian Warner) and his 21 year old ladylove Evan Rachel Wood has reportedly come to a sad conclusion. You may recall that Manson was married to and divorced from burlesque starlet Dita von Teese before he hooked up with Wood (18 years his junior) in late 2006. He often referred to her as his “muse”. A new report from Star magazine reveals that a spat over Evan‘s brother was the “tipping point” that led to the couple’s break-up. They’re dunzo, y’all:

Blood is obviously thicker than water for Evan Rachel Wood. She dumped live-in boyfriend Marilyn Manson on Oct. 23 after he tried to kick her brother Ira out of their guest house. “Evan owned the house and didn’t want her unemployed sibling living on the street,” a source tells Star. “It was the tipping point. Evan was fed up with how controlling and emotionally abusive Marilyn was.” The actress-singer, 21, started dating the 18-years-older goth rocker in December 2006, as his marriage to Dita Von Teese was collapsing.

To be honest, I’m surprised the couple managed to stay together this long. I’m not entirely sure but I believe that MM and ERW were together longer than MM and DvT were married. Call me crazy but I suspect that Marilyn Manson is a very difficult person to be in a romantic relationship with. I bet he gets pancake make-up all over everything! I suppose we’ll have to wait and see which unfortunate young woman with poor judgment decides to enter into a relationship with Manson next. Who do y’all think should try to woo Marilyn Manson now that he’s a single man again?
