Rogen posted in 2020."I can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to find the perfect partner to go through life with. After 9 years married and over 15 years together, I love @laurenmillerrogen more every day. Here’s me beating her at video games at our wedding."

Mandy Moore (4/10/1984, Aries Rat), Taylor Goldsmith (8/16/1985, Leo Ox) : The actor and musician married in 2018. In a 2019 Instagram post, Moore wrote, "A year ago I married my favorite person in the world and I still pinch myself over whatever magic brought us into each other’s lives. I am the luckiest for knowing, loving and being loved by you."

Jennifer Garner (4/17/1972, Aries Rat), Ben Affleck (8/15/1972, Leo Rat) : The two actors were married for 13 years from 2005 and had three children together. Said Garner in 2016, "I ran down the beach to him and I would again. You can’t have three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life. He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy."

Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Jim Toth (7/27/1970, Leo Dog) : The actor and talent agent were married from 2011 to 2023, and have a son together. Witherspoon said in 2011, "I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky. He’s so wonderful with the children. I’m very blessed...[U]ntil I got remarried, I don’t think I realized how stressed I was. I feel so much relief. I don’t think I realized how stressed I was being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It’s not easy on anybody. It’s really traumatic."

Maya Angelou (4/4/1928, Aries Dragon), James Baldwin (8/2/1924, Leo Rat) : The two celebrated writers were close friends for many years. Angelou was famously prompted to begin work on her acclaimed memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by her publisher telling her an autobiography could not be serious literature. She later described: "I said, ‘Well, hmmm, maybe I’ll try it.’ The truth is that [my publisher] had talked to James Baldwin, my brother friend, and Jimmy told him that ‘if you want Maya Angelou to do something, tell her she can’t do it.’" After the memoir's publication, Baldwin said: "This testimony from a Black sister marks the beginning of a new era in the minds and hearts and lives of all Black men and women."

Martin Short (3/26/1950, Aries Tiger), Steve Martin (8/14/1945, Leo Rooster) : The two actors have collaborated multiple times, from the film Three Amigos (1986) to the TV series Only Murders in the Building (2021-). Short has described: "You know, you make movies and you’re in each other’s lives for a few months, in Yugoslavia or wherever, and then you never see each other again. But Steve and I made each other laugh, and we’re clowns, so that’s a big seductive element. That created a determination to see each other, and then have dinners, and that evolved into taking family vacations together."

Lady Gaga (3/28/1986, Aries Tiger), Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger) : The two singers memorably recorded two collaborative albums, Cheek to Cheek and Love for Sale (2021). After the latter was nominated for six Grammy awards in 2022, Lady Gaga described: "This album happened because it was Tony's idea and I made him a promise that we would make it and we did. At 95 years old, he has more nominations than ever, I'm so honored to be his companion in music and his friend. Thank you to the public for loving us, we surely love each other, and you. Believe in love and partnership, even with 60 years between us, and Alzheimer's, there is nothing like the magic of music. I love you Tony, and the world loves you too. How could they not?"

John Stockton (3/26/1962, Aries Tiger), Karl Malone (7/24/1963, Leo Rabbit) : The two basketball stars formed one of the most successful duos in NBA history, sharing an 18-year playoff streak with the Utah Jazz and achieving a combined 24 All-Star appearances. Stockton described in 2022: "I felt there was something magical. [Malone] read my mind. He caught everything. He finished everything. He had all my work ethic and then some. He loved the game. Just one thing after another. Just kind of bond, bond, bond, bond to where now he is literally inseparable for me as a brother...[T]here’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Karl Malone, and I think he feels the same way."

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Alexandra Hedison (7/10/1969, Cancer Rooster) : The actor and photographer have been married since 2014. Though the couple are famously private, after Foster was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Mauritanian (2021), Hedison posted a photo with the caption: "What happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. Every day I'm a proud wife but today you get a special shout out in the remote land of [Instagram]...I'll have to show you my phone for you to see this but still...I'm shouting from the rooftops."

Rebecca Miller (9/15/1962, Virgo Tiger), Daniel Day-Lewis (4/29/1957, Taurus Rooster) : The actor and filmmaker/novelist have been married since 1996 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Miller mentioned in a 2018 interview that she had refused to allow the famously method-acting Day-Lewis to stay in character at home: "I was just like, 'That’s not going to happen.' It’s good to at least maintain one personality for your child." She also referred to a recent trip to their home in Ireland: "[W]e went and got hot whiskeys in a pub in Ireland. And we walked up a mountain and then we got our hot whiskeys and then we got our scones with cream. That’s the kind of thing of just simplicity and fun."

Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The jazz icon and music producer were longtime friends who collaborated on Davis' final live performance, later released as Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1993). The concert marked the first and only time Davis ever revisited music from his back catalogue. Jones described: "I had been trying for 15 years to get him to do that. I've known Miles all my life, we were close friends; I was there in the recording session in 1958 when they did Miles Ahead (1958) with Gil Evans conducting—it was amazing. I said, 'Dewey, this one we've got to do a tribute to.' We kept talking and talking, we were at his home in Central Park West—he was upstairs with Flavor Flav putting an album together—he says 'man this [project] is going to be expensive... and it's hard to play.' Finally, I got him to say yes—I know Miles—and it was fantastic. Man, he played very softly, with no vibrato or anything. That night, I waved and said 'Miles Davis' [to the crowd] and he waved his towel at this audience—I've never seen him do that before—and he growled 'screw you' at me."

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster) : The producer and director formed a famously unlikely partnership when they collaborated to make Lynch's script into the award-winning film, The Elephant Man (1980). Speaking about an early meeting, Brooks described: "I wasn't expecting [Lynch] to be so polite, but I was rather impressed. He made sense and was very savvy about the changes he wanted. It was a problem: how does a guy who is known for the best fart jokes in cinema go on to make The Elephant Man? I had all along the line assiduously kept my name from the project. But after this one conversation, David knew I had more to me. I guess it was the outsider aspect that appealed to him. And that's where I think we met, mentally." Lynch said later: "[Brooks] backed me in ways you can’t imagine — people wanted to change this, do this, give me all kinds of hell — never would Mel let it happen...It put me on the map, it was a great experience…it was just a blessing!"

Queen Elizabeth II (4/21/1926, Taurus Tiger), Prince Philip (6/10/1921, Gemini Rooster) : The Queen and Prince Philip were married for 73 years until his death in 2021. According to a report in The Guardian, published when their engagement was announced in 1947: "It is clearly a marriage of choice, not of arrangement...There have been many royal engagements in the past, but it would be hard to find a precise parallel for that of an Heiress Presumptive and still more for her choice as partner of one who is, technically at least, a British commoner."

Marilyn Monroe (6/1/1926, Gemini Tiger), Yves Montand (10/13/1921, Libra Rooster) : The two actors had a well-publicized affair during the making of one of Monroe's last films, Let's Make Love (1960). Montand later described: "[Marilyn] had an immense character, an extremely strong nature—even though, in life as on the screen, she had that little girl voice. The fascination she exercised and her seductive power were present almost without her knowing it...She had no need to check the seam of her stocking to give you ideas: when she talked about the rain or the fine weather or the cafeteria menu, she had the same power...Marilyn was a being apart, in the sense that it was her own inner light that drove her into the spotlight. If you believed in God you’d say that God alone could generate such a light—a light beyond the control of those it burns in."
