Lindsay Usich — Facts about Marilyn Manson's Wife Whom He Secretly Married
Lindsay Usich, an artist and photographer, is more famously known as Marilyn Manson's wife. The pair tied the knot during the COVID-19 lockdown and went overseas for their honeymoon while the authorities raided the iconic rockstar's residence.
Lindsay Usich and Marilyn Manson were spotted together for the first time since his controversial scandals circulated in the media.
The couple quietly attended Kanye West's Sunday Service in Los Angeles in February 2022, ahead of the Super Bowl.

The pair chose discretion amongst the crowd, dressed in all black as they sang worship songs. The singer wore a black leather jacket, combat boots, and a baseball cap.
WHO IS LINDSAY USICH?
Usich, born in 1984, changed her name to Lindsay Elizabeth Warner later in life. She began working at the young age of 17 and moved to different cities, such as New York and Chicago, to make a living. At present, she lives in Los Angeles as an artist.
According to Usich, most of her portraits were taken when she resided in New York. Back then, she did not own a tripod and used books to steady her camera.
Usich's passion for photography is evident in her work, as the photos captured are filled with emotion. Although she knows the story of every image she's taken, Usich leaves her audience to come up with their own interpretation. She said:
“Feminity and romanticism often go hand in hand with darker, more macabre elements – this is especially true in my everyday life.”
HOW DID LINDSAY USICH MEET HER HUSBAND?
Usich was first linked to the singer in March 2012 after Revolver wrote an article suggesting they were in a romantic relationship.
While they were spending quality time together, the Los Angeles Special Victim Unit detectives raided the star's Hollywood residence with a search warrant amidst his sexual assault investigation.
The outlet claimed that Manson painted an artwork that featured Usich. Similarly, she was credited as the photographer for his 2012 album cover art, “Born Villain.”
HOW DID LINDSAY USICH GET TO MARRY HER HUSBAND?
Usich walked down the aisle to marry the man she loves in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 lockdown and had Nicholas Cage as a guest through FaceTime.

The beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony included a performance of Manson singing “Love Me Tender.” During an interview with Cage, he said:
“You were the only guest at the wedding on FaceTime, and you definitely cockblocked me on singing 'Love Me Tender,' because you mentioned you were going to sing it to us [...]. We both sang it in the end, and your version was even more beautiful.”
Apart from the interview the “Sweet Dreams” singer gave, no details about the couple's wedding ceremony are known. However, their honeymoon destination was no secret. The newlywed pair flew to Berlin and had photos from their vacation circulating the internet.
While they were spending quality time together, something went down back home. The Los Angeles Special Victim Unit detectives raided the star's Hollywood residence with a search warrant amidst his sexual assault investigation.
The authorities retrieved media storage units from the "Tainted Love" singer's home, which were used in the case against him. Domestic violence reports between 2009 and 2011 were made against the rock star.
Previously, the rock star was accused of playing a role in Keanu Reeve's girlfriend, Jennifer Syme's death. Syme died on April 2, 2021, and attended Manson's house party before her passing.
Despite his controversies, Usich stood by his side. She does not shy away from professing her love for her husband online, calling him his “best friend, soulmate, and love of my life.”
“You have always been the one and will continue to be the one,” she said in one of her Instagram stories. In 2022, Usich took to Instagram to share a sweet message on their wedding anniversary. She wrote:
“Two years ago, we got married in our backyard with just 5 additional people present. It was exactly how we wanted to finally do it – and every moment I am thankful we did.”
The photographer went on to note how difficult the past years have been for them. However, the challenges they faced only strengthened their relationship. “We are better human beings than we were the day before,” she added. “I will never stop saying how much I love my husband.”
DOES LINDSAY USICH HAVE KIDS WITH HER HUSBAND?
Usich has not yet welcomed children with her husband in the course of their relationship. Neither of the two has kids from previous relationships.
However, the rocker is the godfather of actor Johnny Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose Depp. Only time will tell if he will have kids of his own.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD'S CASE
Before Usich entered his life, Manson was in a serious relationship with actress Evan Rachel Wood, one of the many who came forward with allegations. According to Wood, he abused her for many years. She said:
“I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him before he ruins any more lives. I stand with many victims who will no longer be silent.”
Wood met him when she was only 18 and he was 36. Although she was young and afraid to speak out then, the actress has found courage in recent years. In 2018, the “Westworld” star testified before a House Judiciary Subcommittee to push for the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights.
The following year, Wood testified before California legislators for the Phoenix Act. The legislation changed the statute of limitations for crimes that included domestic violence.
Other victims of sexual assault against the singer have since shared their stories, including Ashley Walters, Sarah McNeilly, and Ashley Lindsay Morgan.
The allegations brought forward by the women were not the first scandals he faced. Previously, the rock star was accused of playing a role in Keanu Reeve's girlfriend, Jennifer Syme's death.
Syme died on April 2, 2021, and attended the "Disposable Teens" singer's house party before her passing. After a fellow guest dropped her home from the party, Symes attempted to drive back to Manson's place. Unfortunately, while driving on Los Angeles' Cahuenga Boulevard, Syme met an accident.
She drove her Jeep into parked cars and was thrown from the vehicle as she was not wearing a seatbelt. A report later claimed that Syme's mother, Maria St. John, accused Manson of supplying Syme with drugs and encouraging her to drive while high.
The singer did not remain silent on the issue and said that Symes had her own reasons for driving. “Words cannot express the pain that I feel over the loss of Jennifer Syme's life,” he said, describing her death as “sad and tragic.”
Despite all the controversies he has faced, Usich has the ultimate faith in her husband. “I will never stop fighting for the real truth – and not the one that's peddled to you through clickbait-based headlines,” she posted on her Instagram.
