Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood reunite?

Marilyn Manson has claimed that he has reconciled with ex-partner Evan Rachel Wood.

Speaking to Metal Hammer magazine, the rocker said that Wood, who he first split from in 2008, has agreed to rekindle their relationship.

Manson blamed an "identity crisis" for the original break-up, saying that he now has a new outlook on life.

"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," he said.

The 40-year-old added: "I think that has really paid off because I'm back with Evan."

Manson started dating Wood in 2006 after his split from former wife Dita Von Teese.
