They broke up around 2014. Lawrence was quoted in 2012: "[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody … We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she’s got a nice ass.' I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses."

Iola Brubeck (8/14/1923, Leo Pig), Dave Brubeck (12/6/1920, Sagittarius Monkey) : The jazz pioneer and lyricist were married from 1942 until Dave Brubeck's death in 2012. They had six children. They collaborated multiple times, notably on the musical, The Real Ambassadors. Iola Brubeck has also been credited with developing a strategy to publicize and perform Dave's music to young college audiences during the 1950s, which proved transformatively successful. Iola once described the time before Dave achieved widespread recognition: "We learned to improvise in living; whatever place we could find to stay we stayed. We couldn’t afford the best so we learned how to use camping equipment inside a city hotel. We had sleeping bags and air mattresses...[F]ortunately, I think my background and Dave’s ranch background gave us sort of that, I don’t know, pioneer fortitude, I guess to [say,] okay, these are the circumstances, accept it and make the most of it. Make it work, it will work."

Michelle Yeoh (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger), Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog) : The two actors starred together memorably in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). Curtis' celebratory reaction made headlines around the world after Yeoh won a Golden Globe for her performance. When Curtis herself won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the film, their relationship was again in the news after a celebratory kiss. Curtis said: "I kissed [Yeoh]?, Did I really kiss her? I love Michelle Yeoh. We love each other. We fell in love with each other. She's married. I met her husband in England, he's lovely. I also have a husband."

Bridgid Coulter (8/2/1968, Leo Monkey), Don Cheadle (11/29/1964, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors had been together for 28 years before marrying in 2020. They have two daughters. Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Cheadle described in 2021: "[Marriage] came up a lot of time[s]. But every time, we were like, 'But we're already together?' [The accountant said], 'Yeah, but this is a better reason to be together.' Really, it's because our accountant proposed to us, I wish there were some big sweet romantic story, but the romance happened, you know, the first year."

James Cameron (8/16/1954, Leo Horse), Kathryn Bigelow (11/27/1951, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two film directors were married from 1989-1991. At the 2010 Oscars, they were famously in competition for the Best Director award—Bigelow for The Hurt Locker (2008), and Cameron for Avatar (2009). It was reportedly Cameron who recommended Bigelow direct The Hurt Locker. A decade later, Cameron said about Bigelow's win: "[F]or me to begrudge not only someone that I’ve loved and believed in winning the best director, but also the first woman... f—, man. Stand back. Let her have her night. We talked about it endlessly before and after. They wanted us to be co-presenters, but we looked at one another and said, 'We’re not going to play that game.' If I was sitting here now, however many years later, looking at an Oscar that could have been hers, I would be feeling like s—. I was very happy at how it worked out."

Christine Taylor (7/30/1971, Leo Pig), Ben Stiller (11/30/1965, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors married in 2000 and have two children together. After separating in 2017, they reconciled during lockdown in 2020. Stiller described about their reconciliation: "I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you."

Sam Champion (8/13/1961, Leo Ox), Rubem Robierb (12/1/1976, Sagittarius Dragon) : The weather anchor and artist had been together for several years before they married in 2012. Robierb has described: "Sam and I connected on every level early on. We have always connected on important social issues. As we have grown more as a couple, we enjoy tackling them together and being around like minds."

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Robyn Crawford (12/17/1960, Sagittarius Rat) : The two friends were inseparable for much of the legendary singer Houston's 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.

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.

No matter where he is in his life or where I am in mine—he could be married—I know we would stay close."
