George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Michelle Obama (1/17/1964, Capricorn Rabbit) : The 43rd US President and First Lady during the presidency of the 44th President have struck up a popular and for many surprising friendship. Obama described in 2018: "[Bush] is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the formers gather. So we’re together all the time, and I love him to death. He’s a wonderful man. He’s a funny man."

Patrick Stewart (7/13/1940, Cancer Dragon), Sunny Ozell (12/23/1978, Capricorn Horse) : The actor and singer/songwriter have been married since 2013. Responding to a question about the age difference between them, Ozell said, "He is so youthful and I guess I’m kind of an old worrywart, so we bridge the gap. It hasn’t come up much. He’s in better shape than I am, physically, which infuriates me." Stewart added, "I cannot fully understand this age thing. It’s not a matter of affectation, I honestly don’t know what happened, how I got here."

Prince William (6/21/1982, Cancer Dog), Kate Middleton (1/9/1982, Capricorn Rooster) : The Prince and Princess of Wales (William is heir to the throne in the UK) first met in 2001 while at university. They have been married since 2011 and have three children together. Speaking about their courtship, William has described: "When I was trying to impress Kate, I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners, and all that would happen was, I would burn something, something would overspill, something would catch on fire, and she'd be sitting in the background just trying to help and [then] taking control of the whole situation."

Carl Thomas Dean (7/20/1942, Cancer Horse), Dolly Parton (1/19/1946, Capricorn Rooster) : The country legend and business entrepreneur eloped in 1966 and have been married for over 50 years. Dean has famously avoided the spotlight. To celebrate their 50-year anniversary, the couple renewed their vows, as Parton explained: "It’s been a good 50 years and I don’t know how many more years we'll have left. If I had it to do all over, I'd do it all over again, and we did. I'm dragging him kicking and screaming into the next 50 years."

Mitchell Hope (6/27/1994, Cancer Dog), Dove Cameron (1/15/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors formed a strong friendship when they co-starred in the Descendants series of movies (2015, 2017, and 2019). Cameron described in 2017: "[Mitchell's] a really sensitive human being and so am I. So when two people recognize a commonality, it’s like looking across the room at someone the first day of school and it’s like I see me in you and you see you in me...Mitchell and I were each others’ rocks in the first film. Then in the second film, we were inseparable. He’s like my best friend, my brother, best friend — which is why it’s so funny that we’re significant others in the film. But it creates this comfort-ability as actors where we get to really go there with each other. And I think that’s why there’s so much chemistry on screen, because I tell him everything! He’s like my best girlfriend, except he’s a guy. I spend every moment with him on set...Yeah, I laugh with him maybe more than anyone else."

Mary Stuart Masterson (6/28/1966, Cancer Horse), Jeremy Davidson (12/24/1971, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2006 and have four children together. They avoid attention and have settled in an unidentified small town, where they grow vegetables and keep bees. Masterson has described: "I had a lot of attention very young. It just became part of my norm to be unfindable, ungettable and private. I’ve always been such an individualist, and learning to have roots is something that’s coming to me later in life."

Jaden Smith (7/8/1998, Cancer Tiger), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The musician and musician/actor have been close friends since they were teenagers. On Smith's 23rd birthday, Bieber published on Instagram: "Happy birthday to my brother and best friend. Thank you for your constant efforts in making this world a better place! I am so inspired by you. Keep being the leader and innovator that you are, we all follow your lead 😘😘."

Paul Daniels (4/6/1938, Aries Tiger), Debra McGee (10/31/1958, Scorpio Dog) : The magician and his long-time assistant were married from 1988 until Daniels' death in 2016. Daniels described in 2014, "[McGee] makes me laugh. Our relationship hasn’t changed over time: she still adores me. I hope we make each other feel very cared for and cherished. I would do anything for her – and I know she would for me."

Lil' Kim (7/11/1974, Cancer Tiger), Mary J. Blige (1/11/1971, Capricorn Dog) : The two celebrated hip-hop artists have been friends for decades and have collaborated on multiple occasions, including "I Can Love You" and "Hold On". Blige described Lil Kim by saying: "My baby girl, my little sister, I mean, one of the most incredible female rappers to open the door for so many women. She’s a trailblazer and one of the biggest rappers [and] most respected rappers in the business."

Polly Samson (4/29/1962, Taurus Tiger), David Gilmour (3/6/1946, Pisces Dog) : The musician and novelist have been married since 1994 and share four children together (including a son from Samson's previous relationship). Samson has explained: "David has always been incredibly, incredibly supportive of me. There’s a motif in [my novel] A Theater for Dreamers that starts when [the character] Leonard says how lovely it would be if he had a gardenia and a sandwich placed on his desk every day...And in our relationship, we take it in turns. David is as likely to get me a gardenia and a sandwich as I am to get him one."

Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger), River Phoenix (8/23/1970, Virgo Dog) : The two famous brothers grew up in an itinerant family and were always close. Joaquin Phoenix has described how River played songs for him on the guitar hours before River's tragic death in 1993. Joaquin also recounted: "[River] suggested I change my name [from Leaf back to Joaquin] and then, I don’t know, six months later, whatever it was, we were in Florida, we were in the kitchen, and he said, 'You’re going to be an actor and you're going to be more well known than I am.' Me and my mom looked at each other like, 'What the [expletive] is he talking about?’ I don’t know why he said that or what he knew of me at the time. I hadn’t been acting at all. But he also said it with a certain weight, with a knowing that seemed so absurd to me at the time, but of course now, in hindsight, you’re like, 'How the [expletive] did he know?'"

Flea (10/16/1962, Libra Tiger), John Frusciante (3/5/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two musicians have been longtime friends and collaborators, since Frusciante joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at age 18. (Flea and fellow founding member of the RHCP, Anthony Kiedis (11/1/1962), were both born in 1962 and share this energy match with Frusciante.) Flea has described: "John Frusciante has a profound impact on everything that we do, and even when we wasn’t in the band he had a profound impact on everything that we do. He is just the most focused, dedicated, tapped-in musician who’s able to muster this diligence and focus about doing what he does consistently, that just uplifts us."

Elle Fanning (4/9/1998, Aries Tiger), Dakota Fanning (2/23/1994, Pisces Dog) : The two sisters were child actors who have gone on to have successful careers as adults. They have described the special bond between them and their shared development as actors. Elle Fanning has said: "[We] would play these elaborate scenes around the house. Like birthing scenes… I would be the baby coming out. Crazy stuff like that. We were doing it for ourselves; we weren’t, like, 'Oh, Mom and Dad, sit down and we’re gonna perform for you.' That was how we played."
