Every so often, even a freak needs some love and attention. Such is the case with Marilyn Manson, who has just gotten himself engaged for what seems like the millionth time. Just a few weeks ago, 43-year-old Marilyn was seen hanging out and sneaking off into an elevator with 25-year-old Lana del Ray (who may or may not be banging Axl Rose), and he’s already been engaged to Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood with a short-lived marriage to Dita Von Teese somewhere in the middle. Honestly, he seems like quite the diva and must be hell to put up with on a long-term basis.
Now Marilyn has gotten himself engaged to Seraphim Ward after a five-week courtship. She’s a self-described “filmmaker” (hey, so am I after shooting a 5-minutes of iPhone footage this weekend), actress, and singer with a sketchily designed website that boasts all about her interest in the occult. According to her IMDb profile, Seraphim’s currently filming (as an actress) a movie called Speed Dragon, and she seems like a bit of a famewhore that’s looking for an instant career boost. Enter Prince Marilyn Charming, and now Seraphim’s friends have handily given an exclusive to Life & Style:
Marilyn Manson is off the market!
After just five weeks of dating, the 43-year-old rocker proposed to his 27-year-old girlfriend, actress and filmmaker Seraphim Ward, Thursday night, a friend of Seraphim’s tells Life & Style exclusively.
“Marilyn proposed with a family ring,” the friend tells Life & Style. “I think it was his grandmother’s. It’s Celtic, and Seraphim says it has a magical bonding to the receiver.”
“Seraphim is in a committed relationship and is over the moon about what her bright future holds with her partner,” her rep confirms to Life & Style.
Just a day ago, Seraphim tweeted a picture of what seems to be an engagement ring. Early this morning, she added, “I am still speechless and in shock!”
The couple, it seems, fell in love at first sight.
“They share an interest in the occult and have bonded fast,” the friend says, referring to Seraphim’s interest in making films about the paranormal. “He’s gotten her a house in the Hollywood Hills.”
Seraphim is currently filming her first movie as an actress, Speed Dragon, also starring Bai Ling.
Marilyn was previously married to Dita Von Teese for two years; they divorced in 2007. Before that he was engaged to Rose McGowan and later Evan Rachel Wood, whom he dated on and off since 2007 before breaking off the engagement in 2010.
[From Life & Style]
Here’s a photo of the so-called “family ring” that Seraphim has tweeted with a follow-up message: “I am still speechless and in shock!” Okay. I can accept that these two are in lust and already think they’re eternal soulmates or some such nonsense, but what I can’t buy is the notion that this ring is a Manson(Warner)-family heirloom when the picture looks like it was snatched from an Amazon product page:
Anyway, I guess some congratulations (?) are in order. I hope these two are very happy together, and I hope that Marilyn at least has enough sense to get rid of this hideous mullet before the wedding.
UPDATE (by Kaiser): Us Weekly says the engagement is not on. Apparently, this woman just called up Life & Style to claim she and MM were engaged and no one bothered to check with MM’s rep. MM’s rep says, “This is untrue. He has never met this woman.” SO SKETCHY.

…Her mother will be só proud!
I wish them well, of course. All the best and all that.
I give them 2 months.
27 MY A$$!!!
Just checked her site. If true, that was a rough 27 years man.
Nursery school must have been hell.
Also her site looks like it was designed by a roomful of deranged wiccan monkeys.
omg deranged wiccan monkeys totally!!!
Been to her website, no way she is 27!!!
They both look like chupacabras. This is a match made in hell.
hahaha! I was going to say something along the lines of “Holy Bette Davis”! when I saw his latest look, but I like yours better.
Also, she looks suspiciously like a stripper/pornstar.
That’s a Claddagh ring. It’s not strictly an engagement ring. People (usually women) who wear it, wear it on the right hand with the point of the heart turned outward before they’re married/engaged, and later on wear it on the left hand with the heart turned toward the fingertips when they’re engaged, and inward when they are married.
And it should look a damn sight less sparkly than that. Is Meyer writing emo Galweigan vampires now or something?
(In fairness Joss Whedon already got there with Angel. He was turned at what was supposed to be the Spanish Arch, just across from the Claddagh, if memory serves).
true love always. so gross.
the ring is an heirloom if you consider grandma bought it last month.
Yes, that claddagh ring is soooo special. Two fame whore freaks…made for each other.
♫ Let the bright Seraphim in burning row,
Their loud uplifted Angel-trumpets blow…♫
Sorry, I slipped into singing that Handel tune again.
I wonder if he’ll have an opera singer at the wedding to sing “Let the Bright Seraphim” just like Charles and Diana had? 😀
Serously, I’m smacking my head. These gorgeous women fall at his feet. I don’t understand.
You have to wonder why this occult-ridden chick names herself after Heavenly Angels. ? Maybe she didn’t look it up first.
LOL, he gave her the family ring but never gave it to Dita or Rose or Rachel, I’m so bloody sure!
okay, i will probably end up getting nasty comments but i could care less. i honestly liked him with evan. i dont know why, but they just seemed to be right for each other. i want him and evan back together!!
You’re not alone. I loved them together.
I don’t know what’s going on with him lately, but I wish he’d get his shit together.
he has said he was always at his best when he was with evan. you can see he looks lost without her. im not ruling a reconciliation between him and evan. but i DO agree with you, he does need to get his shit straight
I agree, I thought they were great together. I wouldn’t mind him dating Lana del Rey though, but I don’t think she’ll ever date anyone again.
not a lana del rey fan, lol. but i did like dita, but she tried to change him and he couldnt do it. he was also great with rose too, but him and evan made SENSE.
27???? Ha, no way she’s 27! Add ten years on to that, maybe.
That’s the worst combover I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, I think he’s balding underneath the rat hair.
closer look- seems like his head is shaved under there. ?? maybe it’s not a combover.
Also, This could TOTALLY be Nicolas Cage in goth makeup!!!!! They must have the same plastic surgeon. 🙂
That’s the worst combover I’ve ever seen.
It’s not a mullet, it’s a comb-over.
poor brian, he could do better than that even if hes lonely and desperate. he has a new album coming out and surely needs the press or whatever i guess.. i hope this woman has a genuine love and respect for him and not just his fame. he could find a woman who’d worship him in his fan base if he felt like taking that route. not everyone is a manson fan, but for those like me who have special place for him bc his music.. i dont wanna see him used. he seems very codependent when hes in love.. and i saw him on tour after the divorce with dita. all the old songs seemed blah.. but when he sang about dita he put so much heart and pain into singing it broke my heart. he seems like a deeply pained individual. ive also read his book, which explains a lot as to who he is. dude witnessed some crazy shit as a kid. id like to see him balanced and healthy, heard he was booed off stage recently during a drunken performance in Australia. kinda worried about him..
I don’t know what went down with Dita but the women after her (regardless of how gorgeous) have been way too young. If he wants love and respect for Brian he needs to find another Dita – a weird girl his own age.
He went to the same Christian school as one of my friends. She looks perfectly normal but she was very messed up for a while. She’s since gotten help but while I haven’t read his book I know if he was part of that scene my friends’ parents were into he has to be F’d up. What is the book called? I’m curious given the 2 degree connection I have to Brian.
He never did “it” for me – I always worshipped Trent but I am a fan of his art. And being messed up in a different way, I feel for him and now I’m worried about him too.
Read the deets – HE HAS NEVER MET THIS WOMAN.
I’m guessing the bim is just another famewhore with some “backers” who have money invested in her (“filmmaking” or whatever – my money’s on PORN), including $ to pay to rags like US Weekly to publish B.S. stories. I wouldn’t put it past those rags to bite at pay-for-play regardless of the veracity of the story.
why anyone would claim to be engaged to MM for fame is beyond me, he’s just gross…well, she’s not really a prize either..
Couldn’t she pick someone better to lie about? lol
My guess as a former rocker girl who pre-MM used too say “If it has long, black hair, pale skin, light eyes and is male, I like it” My guess is that due to the lack of current forbidden rocker types that are big enough to cause disdain amongst the main stream MM still has some cachet amongst the current goth/rock crowd and Trent got married to a bimbo.
MM is the man who broke the “If it has black hair…” rule and then I found Paxil and became borderline normal.
Well, she must have gotten what she wanted, since now everyone is going to visit her crappy website and talk about her. Well played, random famewhore.
Exactly.
MM looks terrible.
At first glance I thought he was Courtney Love with black hair dye!
Oompa, oompa, oompa-de-do. That chick looks like she belongs to Willy Wonka.
My first thought! She makes Snooki look pale.
Yeah. ORANGE MUCH?
That chick used a whole friggin’ can of spray-on in one sitting. Jeezus.
In general, I like Manson. He’s always come across as very intelligent and articulate in interviews, and he seems to have a wry, self-aware meta-view of his own stage persona.
Fake engagement announcements are pretty weaksauce though. I guess her plan worked, though — I’d never heard of this Seraphim chick before, and I sure have now. :/
Sooo Life & Style didn’t EVEN CHECK BOTH SOURCES?? WTF!
L&S is a shitshow.
The ring:

OMG I´m totally in love with that ring!!!
HAHAHHAA just checked her imdb. 27 MY ASS!!!
I think he’s one of the most physically repulsive human beings I’ve ever seen…without makeup. I mean…can you imagine waking up to that grill?
She was/is dating (using) my friend’s son and is 40 y/o. It is also common knowledge that she is a hooker. She would kick him out of her apartment around the 1st of the month so she could ‘entertain’ her clients to pay her bills.
Ahh makes sense – a hooker looking to snare the biggest john of them all. Thanks for the dirt 😉
Awesome! I hope your son’s friend wises up and gets the hell out.
So like I said above – my money’s on PORN – with backers willing to pay a few bills to a rag like US Weekly to publish something erroneous.
I feel sorry for Marilyn/Brian. Used by a hooker.
Okay, you know you’re 1000% desperate when you stoop to faking an engagement… with Marilyn freaking Manson!
Ha! ^^This exactly!
Err what’s he doing with the neckline makeup there?
I think that’s facial hair, actually.
.
Epic combover. Dayyyum.
He and I are the same age – one of us is looking older than his or her years.
he’s going bald 🙁 eek
I LOVE Brian and I would marry him in a heartbeat… just sayin!
I really can’t say I know him, but he was a couple years above me in my high school and was a very quiet, seemingly sweet nerdy guy. I’m not sure why, but somewhere along the way he became so… strange. Anyway, he bought his parents the most beautiful home (actually, had it built for them) and I’ve heard he takes care of a lot of his family. I really respect that a lot.
And as someone who designs and develops sites for a living, I have to say hers is total crap.
I’ve always thought he was brilliant and I am not only talking about his 90s CDs. The whole MM persona all made up with the weird contacts and make up and weird hair. He can more or less walk around as himself undisturbed if he wants.
I agree. Every time I’ve seen him interviewed he is intelligent, extremely witty, and actually quite down-to-earth.
That may be the most, um, INTERESTING way to use contour makeup on the jawline I’ve ever seen.
Okay, I just want to take this opportunity
to announce my engagement to Alexander Skarsgard, I am 50…no, 30…no, TWENTY-THREE, and really there is NO NEED to check with anybody’s agents or reps, because this is totes ON THE LEVEL. I am still SPEECHLESS and IN SHOCK, and here’s a photo of the old family heirloom ring he gave me, it’s also Celtic and confers luck and occult unicorn sex to the wearer! And I’m 23. Yep. That’s right.
Lookit my ring!

Best comment ever.
I don’t believe for a minute she has even met him – and he wouldn’t be interested anyway. He may not be good looking, but his girlfriends are always beautiful.
ha, ha, i knew life and style was full of it with their articles!
What a dodgy and stupid famewhore! Looks like MM has a stalker.
If her Twitter feed is any indication, she was involved with Manson’s former band mate, Pogo aka Madonna Wayne Gacy. The whole thing is weird.
I love the ring but why! Not even *I* would go there. Nothing personal there is no visceral disgust and loathing like I have with Axl. MM is just not my rocker type. Too thin.
Did any of you listen to her music? It plays while you look at her site and the off button is conveniently hidden.
It’s HORRIBLE and I’m not Adele loving Girl, I like Ministry and Prodigy. I know my loud cacophonous, industrial noise – oh wait… that was her voice not the instruments… OY!
Is MM sporting a comb over?
she did it all for attention now the best thing we can do is ignore her and not give her 15 minutes.
Apparently she is NOT engaged to Marilyn Manson. She is engaged to a Marilyn Manson band member Pogo. A publicist wrote the announcement very vaguely and the tabloids misunderstood (go figure publicists and tabloids lying for attention)
but “pogo”; madonna wayne gacy has left marilyn manson years ago! he was even suing manson for taking more of the band’s money if i remember correctly.
Seraphim Ward had nothing to do with what her Publicist put out in in return she has gotten death threats and slandered even right here in this story of Seraphim Ward and Marilyn Manson scandal. There are people claiming to know her and she nows none, this is a pure shame and tragedy and Marilyn Manson spoke with her twice on the phone that morning and knows it as Jonathan Shelton Jaxson and not Seraphim Ward. Please remove the comments of slander and manipulation on this comment page. thank you, you can look Seraphim Ward up, she just posted one of her two videos about the scandal… Pogo Madonna Wayne Gacy was homeless and she took him in her Hollywood Hills home in which she DOES have, because he was selling his gear just to survive and eat. The move of Jonathan, Seraphim’s publicist and Life and Style was wrong, so please do the right thing and remove the comments made after your untrue story!..
