NIKKI SIXX & KAT VON D HOLDIN’ HANDS IN MALIBU

Tattoo artist/LA Ink reality star, Kat Von D (I love her cool name and her real name is even cooler: Katherine von Drachenberg) is apparently back with Motley Crue musician/songwriter, Nikki Sixx (The best male rocker name since Alice Cooper. His birthname is Frank Carlton Serafino Ferrana Jr.). The couple broke up in January after dating for nearly 2 years. The reason their relationship ended then remains a mystery. Nikki issued a statement at the time that included this:
“We are taking a break from our relationship for reasons that we will choose to keep personal. She has loved and inspired the hell outta me and I know I’ve done the same for her in the almost 2 years we ruled the earth together.” (Gotta love that last part!)

Whatever it was, it seems they worked things out and got back together after just a few months apart. In the last few weeks, they’ve been spotted together all over Malibu. Sixx (51) and Von D (27) have quite the age difference, but seem happy as a couple. They began seeing each other in 2007 after Kat’s marriage had ended.

Nikki appeared on LA Ink in 2008 while he and Kat were dating. Kat did a tattoo of Motley Crue guitarist, Mick Mars, (oh those rocker names again! His birthname is Robert Alan Deal) on Sixx’s leg.  Nikki Sixx, who co-founded Motley Crue with Tommy Lee, has known Mick Mars around 30 years.

Recently, Von D posted on Twitter: “I’m currently in a relationship with Nikki.” Sixx confirmed the news on his radio show, Sixx Sense. The only thing is, the posts were made after rumors had started that Von D was involved with the married skateboarder/daredevil,  Bam Margera.

Photos of Bam and Kat holding hands leaving a bar surfaced and then came the pics of Kat and Nikki doing the same thing leaving McDonald’s or somewhere (the above photo). But Kat calls the comments about the speculation of an affair with Bam “silly rumors.”
