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."

Rashida Jones (2/25/1976, Pisces Dragon), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The actor/film-maker made the acclaimed documentary Quincy about her father, the legendary music producer. Speaking about footage showing Quincy recovering in hospital, Rashida explained: "I am so protective of my dad, and obviously, that’s a very intimate story to tell. My brother shot some of that stuff in the hospital, and then I shot some. Really, we did it for him, because we wanted him to be able to see where he was so that he wouldn’t forget and he would take care of himself."

Rosie Perez (9/6/1964, Virgo Dragon), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director first met in the late 1980s when Lee cast Perez in the film Do the Right Thing. Celebrating the anniversary of the film Perez told a crowd of fans, "30 years ago, I met this man and he changed my life. And we need men like him in Hollywood. And we are doing it and we are going to take over, baby. And it takes a man like Spike Lee to help push those doors down. And I appreciate that. I am getting emotional because he literally changed my life. And I thank you."

Benedict Cumberbatch (7/19/1976, Cancer Dragon), Tom Hiddleston (2/9/1981, Aquarius Rooster) : The actors have been friends for over ten years. Commenting on his experience working with and observing Cumberbatch, Hiddleston described: "Over the ten or so years I’ve known him what stands out is his limitless curiosity. He’s keenly aware that life is short and precious, and his range comes from the depth of his internal world."

Melia McEnery (2/1/1976, Aquarius Dragon), Eric Clapton (3/30/1945, Aries Rooster) : The legendary musician and philanthropist have been married for 18 years and have three children together. Clapton has described how before he met McEnery he suffered from addiction and used relationships with women as a form of escapism. Speaking about their meeting, Clapton said: "There was something about her... strength. She occupied her space with absolute authority. It was clear that even though she was half my age she was capable of being an adequate partner for anybody."

John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon), Yoko Ono (2/18/1933, Aquarius Rooster) : The famous musicians and artists were committed peace activists who married in 1969. Their intense bond has attracted controversy with many attributing the break up of the Beatles in part to their relationship. Less than three months before his murder in December 1980, Lennon described his connection with Ono in an interview: "It is a teacher-pupil relationship. That's what people don't understand. She's the teacher and I'm the pupil. I'm the famous one, the one who's supposed to know everything, but she's my teacher. She's taught me everything I [expletive] know."

Neneh Cherry (3/10/1964, Pisces Dragon), Cameron McVey (3/11/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The musicians are long term collaborators and partners of over 30 years. Commenting on their evolving relationship, Cherry has explained: "I still feel like there’s more to it. I know that we’re not done and that’s really interesting. We’re still getting to know each other but he definitely knows my digits, you know what I mean? I think it’s a treasure to have relationships for life."

Gwen Stefani (10/03/1969, Libra Rooster), Blake Shelton (06/18/1976, Gemini Dragon) : The two singers married in 2021. They had both been involved in high-profile marriages to fellow musicians—Stefani to Gavin Rossdale, and Shelton to Miranda Lambert—when they worked together as coaches on The Voice during 2015, and began dating. They have since collaborated on multiple occasions, including the songs, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" (2016), "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" (2017), "Nobody But You" (2020), and "Happy Anywhere" (2020). Shortly before their marriage, Stefani described: "I think there was a lot to consider when you have so many people involved. Children, and their hearts, and everybody in my family [and] his family, we all went through a lot together. So I think in a romantic way, when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly — and so late in your life — you think 'I want to marry you!' That's the first romantic reaction, like, 'Let's get married.' So we always talked about it, of course, and I think that as the years were going by, it didn't need to happen. There was a lot of healing to do."

Sandra Bullock (7/26/1964, Leo Dragon), Matthew McConaughey (11/4/1969, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors dated after meeting on a movie set in 1996 and have remained close friends. Describing their relationship, Bullock has commented, "There's a great amount of respect and love. I feel very cared for by Matthew. No matter where he is in his life or where I am in mine—he could be married—I know we would stay close."
