They Looked Into Each Other’s Eyes and Knew
Manson was married at the time to dancer Dita Von Teese, but they divorced not long after. After their split, Manson met with Wood, and the two “looked into each other’s eyes and knew.” They began publicly dating in 2007.

Wood knew she would get backlash for her choice of partner, but she embraced it with all her might. “I looked at my mother one day and said, ‘Mom, I’m gonna get on this tour bus for eight months and see the world and have a crazy journey, and if people aren’t OK with that, I’m sorry, but I can’t live my life for other people,” she told Rolling Stone.
