Sleeping Giant, or Friends With Benefits? The Curious Maybe-Romance Between Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny
One of the world’s most high-profile on-again/off-again relationships is in the headlines again this week. According to reports, Kendall Jenner (11/03/1995, Scorpio Pig) attended a concert by Bad Bunny (03/10/1994, Pisces Dog) on May 17, 2024, once again igniting speculation that the model/businesswoman and rapper/record producer may be romantically involved.
Jenner and Bad Bunny (real name, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) have been the subject of much speculation, ever since they were first seen being affectionate together early in 2023. However, the duo themselves have been consistently tight-lipped about their relationship. Bad Bunny said in June 2023, “People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life…The only thing I have is my privacy.” Around the same time, Jenner was similarly restrained:
I try [to] find the balance of keeping things private and keeping things sacred, [and] also not letting the unfortunate frustration and stress of everyone trying to get in on it stop me from enjoying my side. Does that make sense? I’ll go out of my way to do things as privately as possible because I just think that that’s the healthier way of dealing with relationships anyway.
This mutual desire for privacy seems to accord with both the individual natures of Jenner and Bad Bunny, and their shared energy.
Kendall Jenner’s zodiac signs of Scorpio Pig combine emotional complexity with generosity and kindness
Kendall Jenner’s combined sign of Scorpio Pig is primarily associated with both intensity and generosity. In a recent interview, she seemed to demonstrate both traits at once when she spoke openly about having a difficult time, saying:
I don’t see why I shouldn’t be honest about [being in the middle of a rough patch]. In my career right now I feel really stable, really hopeful. But I’ve had a rough two months…I’m more sad than usual. I’m way more anxious than usual. So I’m not going to sit here and act like everything’s perfect.
Indeed, while the great power of the Scorpio sign means they often cannot help but be drawn into the limelight, the pressures of being in the public eye can be destabilizing for this emotionally complex sign—especially when combined with the naturally trusting, and sometimes naive, Chinese sign of the Pig. In comments that may resonate with Jenner and others born under this combined sign, French cinematic icon Alain Delon (11/08/1935, Scorpio Pig) famously said, “I am not a star. I am an actor. I have been fighting for years to make people forget that I am just a pretty boy with a beautiful face…above all I am an actor…one who becomes very miserable the instant the director shouts, ‘Cut!’” Another celebrated actor born under this combined sign, Winona Ryder (10/29/1971, Scorpio Pig), explained with raw honesty the sometimes overwhelming effects of life in the spotlight:
I understand that when actors complain, it sounds a little nauseating…[But] there is a lot of kind of ugly stuff that goes with it, that the public doesn’t see…There’s a lot of like soul selling stuff that goes with it. And that’s the kind of stuff that, you know, breaks us down. And when you turn on the TV and see another actor going into rehab, or have a breakdown and end up in a car crash with a hooker, or whatever it is, there are reason[s] behind those things. And there are demons that the public doesn’t see.
Such is the forceful nature of Scorpio, however—not to mention the usually good fortune of the Pig, traditionally one of the luckiest signs in the Chinese zodiac—people born under the Scorpio Pig combined sign are often able to achieve extraordinary successes in the face of difficult public pressures. One remarkable example is the US athlete Alice Coachman (11/09/1923, Scorpio Pig), who grew up in the segregated southern US and became the first African-American woman to win Olympic gold. After the white mayor of Albany refused to shake her hand on her return, Coachman said simply, “I understood where the mayor stood, but to me, just to be home from across the water was fine with me, just to see my mama.” And even that most famous victim of circumstance, Marie Antoinette (11/02/1755, Scorpio Pig), who was guillotined during the French revolution, has emerged in the eyes of history as a Princess Diana-like “tragic heroine”, a “modern icon” in fashion and marketing.
Bad Bunny’s zodiac signs of Pisces Dog combine dreaminess with fierce defense of underdog causes
Where Kendall Jenner’s Scorpio sign is an astrological powerhouse, Bad Bunny’s Pisces is traditionally thought of as shyer, more introspective, with a tendency to lose themselves in fantastical dreams rather than focus strictly on reality. But the escapist qualities of Pisces tend to be carefully controlled when they are balanced by the grounding, hard-working influence of the Chinese sign of the Dog. The Dog is a natural public speaker and performer, with a dyed-in-the-wool commitment to underdog causes. The result for people born under Bad Bunny’s combined sign tends to be people who are firmly devoted to sharing their brand of intimate dreaming and protective impulses with wider communities. In an interview with fellow Puerto Rican and Pisces, Benicio Del Toro (02/19/1967, Pisces Sheep), Bad Bunny explained, for example:
I always say that Puerto Rico, in terms of culture, in terms of our people, we have the potential to be whatever we want to be…But my dream is to see Puerto Rico develop within our own community, not with foreigners–not that we can’t do business with other countries, but that us natives work together to shape the island’s future…I love that you’re asking me about this because yesterday I was writing a song about this…I woke up at 4 a.m. in a dreamlike state and wrote a beautiful song about this.
The context may be different, but at an abstract level there appear to be clear parallels between Bad Bunny’s caring, socially-minded motivations and the desires expressed by another superstar born around the same time under the Pisces Dog combined sign, Justin Bieber (03/01/1994, Pisces Dog). Bieber described in a recent interview,
[I] remember this quote: The comforted become the comforters. … I don’t want to let my shame of my past dictate what I’m able to do now for people. A lot of people let their past weigh them down, and they never do what they want to do because they think that they’re not good enough. But I’m just like: “I did a bunch of stupid s—. That’s okay. I’m still available. I’m still available to help. And I’m still worthy of helping.”
Other Pisces Dog celebrities have been similarly devoted to communal and philanthropic causes. In 2019, Pink Floyd guitarist, David Gilmour (03/06/1946) donated 120 guitars to charity, raising a record-breaking $20 million for ClientEarth. Sharon Stone (03/10/1958) is one of a small number of recipients of the revered Peace Summit Award, awarded by the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates. And the author Victor Hugo (02/26/1802) wrote in the Preface to his most famous novel, Les Misérables (1862),
[So long as] social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth…[so long as] the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved…[s]o long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.
So what about Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny’s energy together?
On the Western side, the combination of Jenner’s Scorpio with Bad Bunny’s Pisces is traditionally one of the strongest in astrology. The shared Water element brings a powerful affinity with emotional realms and universal concerns. Meanwhile, the deeply compatible Fixed modality of Scorpio (which gives Scorpio their power of actualization and clarity of vision) and Mutable modality of Pisces (which contributes Pisces’ intuitive understanding of people and consequences) facilitate close collaborations of all kinds.
Hence Jenner and Bad Bunny’s apparent strategy of remaining tight-lipped about their relationship is consistent with what might be expected, whether their connection were romantic, casual, or both. These two signs can be expected to fall into a natural rhythm together, respecting each other’s wishes and interests, and all the while nourishing the variously playful and supportive dynamic between them. Neither Jenner nor Bad Bunny is close to the cusp with their adjacent signs, which further lends this connection stability and security.
Other famous Scorpio and Pisces relationships
Such is the strength of the Scorpio/Pisces match, in many real-life examples it seems to combine with matches on the Chinese side that in other contexts could be problematic. The relationships between Goldie Hawn (11/21/1945, Scorpio Rooster) and Kurt Russell (03/17/1951, Pisces Rabbit), for example, and between Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) and Eva Mendes (03/05/1974, Pisces Tiger), are two of the most famous in the world—in each case, in spite of potentially turbulent energy on the Chinese side.
Elsewhere, in apparently successful celebrity relationship, the Scorpio/Pisces combination is complemented by equally strong energy on the Chinese side. Famous examples include the long marriages between Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) and Sidney Poitier (02/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), and Laurene Powell Jobs (11/06/1963, Scorpio Rabbit) and Steve Jobs (02/24/1955, Pisces Sheep). The marriage between Molly McNearney (03/05/1978, Pisces Horse) and Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep) is another Scorpio/Pisces match that overall embodies Golden Nine energy—in theory at least the best of the best!
What does the Chinese Zodiac say about Kendall and Bad Bunny’s energy match?
Jenner and Bad Bunny’s Pig/Dog pairing on the Chinese side can also be harmonious in the right circumstances. The Pig may be more variable in their commitment to whatever task is at hand than the earnest Dog, but the Pig can be just as single-minded when they make up their mind to apply themselves. The Dog can also be surprisingly anxious, which can catch the Pig by surprise, and may mean the Pig is not always as sensitive or supportive as they might be.
Real-life Pig/Dog relationships tend to emphasize a sense of admiration, duty, or perseverance. Yet profound, nurturing bonds are also likely, especially with strong energy on the Western side. A noteworthy example in the present context is the relationship between Joanne Tucker (06/26/1982, Cancer Dog) and Adam Driver (11/19/1983, Scorpio Pig). For Tucker and Driver, as with Jenner and Bad Bunny, the Pig/Dog combination is accompanied by Trine Water signs on the Western side. Reminiscent of Jenner and Bad Bunny’s emphasis on privacy, Tucker and Driver managed to keep the birth of their son secret for two years after his birth, in what Driver described as a “military operation”. Indeed, Driver—a Scorpio Pig like Kendall Jenner, albeit closer to the cusp with Sagittarius on the Western side—has likewise made privacy a watchword, as he described: “My job is to be a spy—to be in public and live life and have experience. But, when you feel like you’re the focus, it’s really hard to do that.”
Other illustrative examples of the Pig/Dog Chinese combination include the marriage between Jennifer Connelly (12/12/1970, Sagittarius Dog) and Paul Bettany (05/27/1971, Gemini Pig), the marriage between Magic (08/14/1959, Leo Pig) and Cookie Johnson (01/20/1959, Aquarius Dog), and the friendship between Dove Cameron (01/15/1996, Capricorn Pig) and Veronica St Clair (04/06/1994, Aries Dog).
What is written in the stars for this pair?
The way Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny have kept onlookers guessing about the exact status of their relationship seems clearly to reflect the kind of effortless teamwork that can be characteristic of their prized Scorpio/Pisces connection.
What is in fact happening, or will happen from here, is of course anybody’s guess. And their respective management of their very public lives and desire for privacy aligns with their complementary and highly collaborative respective combined signs of Scorpio Pig and Pisces Dog. As a pair, given that Jenner and Bad Bunny have strong potential on the Chinese side to capitalize on their enviable Trine Western connection, there is every chance they could build some cherished memories together, whether their relationship, in whatever form, proves fleeting, or lasts many years into the future. So the stars are shining bright with harmonious potential for these two very private figures in the very (curious) public eye.
