Leo Rat and Libra Snake

Rosalynn Carter (8/18/1927, Leo Rabbit), Jimmy Carter (10/1/1924, Libra Rat) : The former President and First Lady of the United States have been married since 1946 and have four children. Jimmy Carter has described: "It’s hard to live until you’re 95 years old. I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life."

Andy Warhol (8/6/1928, Libra Rat), Truman Capote (9/30/1924, Leo Dragon) : The author and artist shared a famous friendship during the 1970s. Of their early contacts, Capote described: "I started getting these letters from somebody who called himself Andy Warhol. They were, you know, fan letters. But not answering these Warhol letters didn’t seem to faze him at all. I became Andy’s Shirley Temple. After a while I began getting letters from him every day!" As their friendship developed, Warhol recorded hours of their conversations, which were adapted by playwright Rob Roth into the play, WARHOLCAPOTE. Capote says in the play: "My doctor suggested that I adopt some healthier hobby other than wine-tasting and fornication. So I’m going to get all pulled together. You can come out and visit me at the center." To which Warhol replies, "Okay, all right. I’ll come out and visit you. That would be really great. Oh, Truman, we’re going to miss you."

Snoop has described: "We talk about once a week, and when I go that way [New York] I like to stay at her house - her house is so big, her horse's house is bigger than my house. She's got it going on. I love me some Martha Stewart; she is just a joy to be around. When you think of Snoop Dogg [and Martha Stewart] it is just the perfect match, it's holy matrimony."

Banderas has described: "I had the biggest laughs I’ve ever had in my entire career of making movies with him. And we’ve had great times; absolutely great, great moments.

Ali Krieger (7/28/1984, Leo Rat), Ashlyn Harris (10/19/1985, Libra Ox) : The two US soccer players have been together since 2010 and married in 2019. Harris has described: "I think what’s so moving and powerful with Ali and I is we don’t overthink it — we just are genuinely us. Every day we show up, and for so long, we had to hide our love and our relationship and who we were and how we expressed ourselves because of the environment and because of our job...For so long, there was an elephant in the room, and it was like, this is so dumb. We are wasting so much of our life living a lie. Like, what are we even doing?"

Blake Edwards (7/26/1922, Leo Dog), Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig) : The director and actor/musician were married for over 40 years before Edwards' death in 2010.

Hurley explained in 2021 that: "We haven't been romantically involved for 20 years, I think, even though we have such a strong friendship. But we're always very aware that there are other people in our lives. There's partners, there's children. You can't just, sort of, live in a lovely, rosy, mist of the past. You have to move with the times and be very respectful of the present, which we are."

Antonio Banderas (8/10/1960, Leo Rat), Dakota Johnson (10/4/1989, Libra Snake) : The two actors were stepfather and stepdaughter during Banderas' marriage to Melanie Griffiths, with Johnson calling him, "Paponio," a mix of "papa" and "Antonio". At the 2019 Hollywood Film Awards, Johnson described: "I got a bonus dad who I realized that, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my whole life. When I was six years old, my mother married a man who brought an unbelievably bright light and a whole new world of creativity and culture...[Banderas] was so vibrant and so fun and so funny and his English was abstract and we found it absolutely amazing. He loved my mother, and my siblings and I so big, and so fiercely and so loud, that it would change all of our lives together."

Eminem (10/17/1972, Libra Rat), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two rap legends have been close friends since the 1990s, when Eminem released his major-label debut through Dre's Aftermath imprint. Speaking at Eminem's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Dre described: "The first time I put on a beat, [Eminem] got on the mic and said, 'Hi, my name is Slim Shady.' That was it, and that was the beginning of what became an amazing creative collaboration. Then came the backlash. 'Look at him, Dre. This guy has blue eyes. We can’t sign him.' There was a massive amount of resistance from my whole team and people around me that didn’t want me to work with him simply because he was white...I knew that his gifts were undeniable. His raw, dark, humorous lyrics, coupled with an impeccable cadence, stood out from everything I had ever heard before. And he was humble. Both of us were. We were two artists in do-or-die situations. He was desperate to find a way to feed his family, and I was searching for something that I could sink my teeth into creatively. Each of us were exactly what the other one needed. And I was willing to bet my entire career on that. Facts."
