Marilyn Manson apologizes to Dita Von Teese

Marilyn Manson has told ex-wife Dita Von Teese he made "a big mistake".

The burlesque performer claims her former spouse regularly contacts her to apologise for the breakdown of their year-long marriage.

Dita, who cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce in 2006, said: "He has been in touch a little. The apologies come, and he was like, 'I made a big mistake.' "

The brunette beauty has previously spoken out about her decision to split from the goth rocker, claiming she couldn't support his "partying or relationship with another girl". It is believed Manson was having an affair with now-girlfriend actress Evan Rachel Wood.

Dita is unimpressed by Manson's attempts to repair the rift between them and is keen to move on with her life.

She added to Inked magazine: "I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, I know. Go ahead and say what you need to say to feel better and to sleep at night.' "

Dita is in no rush to settle down again and is currently dating men from several different countries.
