King's acclaimed performance won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She described: "We need this movie right now. We need this hug. We need to understand love on a universal level. Barry Jenkins can make the global feel personal. He’s a master at that, and he doesn’t even have to try. It just happens to be who he is."

Heather Matarazzo (11/10/1982, Scorpio Dog), Heather Turman (12/31/1986, Capricorn Tiger) : The actor and comedian/film producer married in 2018. Truman posted to Instagram about their engagement: "We kept it to ourselves for a few days, but it’s official! I’m engaged to the absolute, unequivocal love of my life. I never knew I could find someone that matches me the way she does, in all ways… always. If Hollywood is my pyramids, then she is my Fatima. This is it. #whenyouknowyouknow."

Peter Jackson (10/31/1961, Scorpio Ox), Fran Walsh (1/10/1959, Capricorn Dog) : The director and screenwriter have been life partners since 1987. They have co-written all of Jackson's films since 1989, including the Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) and Hobbit (2012-2014) trilogies. Walsh famously avoids the limelight, and on one occasion remarked drily about Jackson: "He’s not my husband. He’s never asked me, and if he did, I probably wouldn’t say yes."

Nichols described in 2012: "I thought we were the two greatest bulls–ters. I thought we were brilliant but totally full of s–t, so smart and such good talkers and so modest, so wise. It took me a long time to realize that, in the first place, she wasn’t bulls–tting, she was real, and then — to my astonishment — that I was, too. And it was because of her. The way she saw me let me finally see that I was real, too."

Travis Barker (11/14/1975, Scorpio Rabbit), Yelawolf (12/30/1979, Capricorn Sheep) : The musician and rapper are friends who collaborated on the EP, Psycho White (2012), and later the song, "Out of Control" (2016). Barker described in 2012: "We clicked from the time we first met. We just had a bunch in common, whether it be cars or skateboarding or tattoos...We just started cranking out songs in the studio." Yelawolf said: "We’re almost the same person. [Travis] sees me as I do him: as this weird parody of cultures. I represented something in the South and the East that he does from the West Coast."

Ethan Hawke (11/6/1970, Scorpio Dog), Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors collaborated in Training Day (2001), for which both received Oscar nominations and Washington the Best Actor award, and The Magnificent Seven (2016). In a joint interview, Hawke described: "It was fascinating to see [Washington] work at that high a level, in a studio movie. You can see people working like that, in church basements, with confidence and creativity. But when big money comes around and pressure comes around, people shrink. It was an exciting moment to see that that didn’t have to be."

Cicely Tyson (12/19/1924, Sagittarius Rat), Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger) : Actor Tyson and legendary jazz trumpeter Davis were married from 1981 to 1989. Tyson acknowledged after 2015 that Davis had once been abusive in the relationship, but described in an interview shortly before she died in 2021: "Listen, let me tell you something. I got to know the soul of a man who is as gentle as a lamb. He covered it up with this ruthless attitude because he was so shy. Shy, you hear me? And in trying to be the kind of tough person that people thought he was, he ruined his life. Yes, gentle as a lamb, you hear me? That’s the Miles Davis I knew."

Robert Redford (8/18/1936, Leo Rat), Shia LaBeouf (6/11/1986, Gemini Tiger) : Actor/director Redford and actor LaBeouf collaborated on the film, The Company You Keep (2012). Redford described in 2013: "Shia, for those of you that know his work, he’s got a fast mind and a fast tongue. And it’s very, very impressive. And it moves rapid fire. I thought it would be interesting to have Shia play a character where he’s got to have some variation in his performance. I wanted him to start out as that kind of character, kind of a bird dog, just relentless and would just roll over anybody, stomp over anybody to get the story. And have him learn something along the road. And give Shia the chance to vary his energy. And that to me was exciting."

Harmony Korine (1/4/1973, Capricorn Rat), Chloë Sevigny (11/18/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : Actor/fashion designer Sevigny and film-maker Korine shared a close friendship and on-off romantic relationship after their first collaboration, the film Kids (1995). They also collaborated on the movies, Gummo (1997), and Julien Donkey-Boy (1999). Sevigny described in 2000: "We just grew up together. I invited [Korine] to my high-school graduation. He was my best friend. He was my university, I never went to college. He taught me almost everything I know about movies and books and music." In 2015, she said, "Harmony has this sort of seductive nature that you can really get wrapped up in. Any little note or letter he’d leave behind for me — from his wording to the little drawing that he’d make in it — every single thing he did was a work of art."

Avril Lavigne (9/27/1984, Libra Rat), Chad Kroeger (11/15/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : Singer/songwriter Lavigne and Nickelback singer/guitarist Kroeger began dating in 2012, and were married from 2013 to 2015. They collaborated extensively on Lavigne's fifth album, Avril Lavigne (2013), including the track, "Let Me Go" (2013). Lavigne described in 2019: "[Chad and I are] actually really close...He was with me through a lot and is a really protective person in my life. He's still like family. I didn't know that it would be that way, and I'm really glad it is because we were friends and we made music together. We've just kept the friendship and continued having a working relationship, as well...He was a really great soundboard. I would call him and send him songs to get his opinion, and if I was ever stuck on something, he'd help me out, which is super [expletive] cool, if you think about it. I'd play him songs on FaceTime and he'd be like, 'I'm so proud of you, you did such a good job.' So he just cares about me and wants to see me do well, which is really nice."

Eminem (10/17/1972, Libra Rat), Skylar Grey (2/23/1986, Pisces Tiger) : Rap music icon Eminem and singer/songwriter Grey have collaborated extensivery for over ten years, beginning with the song, "Love the Way You Lie" (2010, featuring Rihanna). Grey described in 2020: "I credit a lot of my success to Marshall. Cause ["Love the Way You Lie"] was my biggest break to date. It’s the biggest song I’ve ever been a part of. I’m so grateful for that opportunity that came into my life at a moment in time I was very unsure about my career path. I’ve always been very grateful for it. When I finally met him and started working with him in person it felt very natural. There was good musical chemistry there, so we continued to work together. Since that song came out, it’s been like, ten years now?...I can’t believe it. I’ve been working with him ever since."

(5/21/1972, Gemini Rat), Lil' Kim (7/11/1974, Cancer Tiger) : The two legendary hip-hop artists shared a supportive and romantic relationship, with Notorious BIG credited with discovering Lil' Kim in the 1990s. They collaborated together as part of the rap group, Junior M.A.F.I.A., recording the album Conspiracy (1995). While Kim has acknowledged problems and power imbalances in the relationship, she described in 2016: "[Notorious BIG] became my friend, my lover, my everything. I was his biggest fan. He knew I would be the biggest female rapper. I think I inspired him to want to do different things and be different. We were a match made in heaven, like Sonny and Cher or Ashford and Simpson."

Rebecca Romijn (11/6/1972, Scorpio Rat), Jerry O'Connell (2/17/1974, Aquarius Tiger) : The actors married in 2007 and share twin daughters. Referencing one of their early interactions, O'Connell described in a joint interview in 2019: "Rebecca was in the VIP section of [a pool] party and I was not. I saw you in the VIP section and you were newly single and I was like, ‘I got to get some of that, right there.’ It was a pool party, so I took my shirt off, I did some pushups right there and got some oil. I was super flexing. I had met my wife once before that at the time. But through the rope I was like, ‘Hey, Rebecca!’...We started hanging out. I came for a sleepover … and I never left. That’s the truth. We just clicked."
