Marilyn Manson has proposed to his girlfriend of five weeks.

The 43-year-old rocker presented actress and filmmaker Seraphim Ward, 27, with a family ring, thought to have belonged to his grandmother, last Thursday (12.04.12), according to friends.

A source told Life & Style magazine: 'Marilyn proposed with a family ring. I think it was his grandmother's. It's Celtic, and Seraphim says it has a magical bonding to the receiver.'

Seraphim's representative added: 'Seraphim is in a committed relationship and is over the moon about what her bright future holds with her partner.'

Yesterday (15.04.12), the actress tweeted a picture of a diamond encrusted Claddagh ring - a traditional Irish ring given as a token of friendship, love, or marriage - with the caption 'OMG! (sic)'.

She later added: 'I am still speechless and in shock!'

On her twitter page Seraphina describes herself as 'a Independent Occult Filmmaker and a Industrial Goth Rock Artist (sic)' and pals say she and Marilyn bonded over their shared interest in the supernatural.

The friend added: 'They share an interest in the occult and have bonded fast. He's gotten her a house in the Hollywood Hills.'

Marilyn was previously married to Dita Von Teese and engaged to both Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood.
