Jada Pinkett Smith (9/18/1971, Virgo Pig), Will Smith (9/25/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1997 and have two children together. They have attracted publicity owing to an acknowledged "open" relationship. In 2021, Will Smith was quoted as saying, "The freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Jerome Robbins (10/11/1918, Libra Horse) : Composer/conductor/pianist Bernstein and choreographer/dancer Robbins were longtime collaborators, whose work together included the musical, West Side Story (first produced on Broadway in 1957), and the ballets, Fancy Free (first produced in New York in 1944), and Dybbuk (first produced in New York in 1974). Bernstein once described, "I remember all my collaborations with Jerry in terms of one tactile bodily feeling, which is his hands on my shoulders, composing with his hands on my shoulders. This may be metaphorical but it’s the way I remember it. I can feel him standing behind me saying, yes, now just about four more beats there . . . yes, that’s it."

Justin Mikita (9/10/1985, Virgo Ox), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (10/22/1975, Libra Rabbit) : The two actors have been married since 2013, and have one child. Describing how they first met, at the gym in the early days of Ferguson's role in Modern Family (2009-2020), Ferguson said, "I was taken by how handsome he was and how sweet. I started asking questions about him, and I think he was sort of thrown off by that and ran away from me." The couple went on to launch the non-profit organization, Tie the Knot, raising money for LGBTQ causes.

Peter Falk (9/16/1927, Virgo Rabbit), Shera Danese (10/9/1949, Libra Ox) : The two actors were married from 1977 until Falk's death in 2011, from Alzheimer's. Danese appeared in Falk's iconic series, Columbo (1968–1978, 1989–2003) more than any other guest star. Falk once said about their early relationship, "[Danese] wasn’t interested. I kept at it. She conceded to a hello over a cocktail." Despite a reputation for conflict—the couple were apparently known a the "Fighting Falks", and Falk was a famous drinker and womanizer—they ultimately remained together. Danese once described: "We went through a really hard spell. I don’t know why but we didn’t agree on anything. Then, we made concessions, we accepted the bad habits of the other."

Lenny Henry (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog), Dawn French (10/11/1957, Libra Rooster) : The two British actor/comedians were married from 1984 until 2010. They had one adopted child together. Henry described about their early relationship in 2022, "I was yearning for something more substantial, but I just didn’t know what that was...A massive light bulb went off over my head. I was compelled by [French]. We talked about everything... performance, politics (my family voted Labour, but I hadn’t really connected with the whys of it until I met Dawn), family, relationships, food, the future. Even at the worst of times we used humour as sword and shield. My mind was at last tuned in, focused and functioning as an equal in a relationship. In other words, I was in love." In 2017, Henry said, "Remarkably, we seem to have shifted with relative ease from a 25-year marriage to a lasting friendship. I am amazed by us. There is no war, we’ve turned out to be the best of friends. There were lots of good years but one tricky last year."

Nick Cave (9/22/1957, Virgo Rooster), PJ Harvey (10/9/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians dated in the mid-1990s, and collaborated on the recording, "Henry Lee" (1996). Cave has acknowledged their break-up as a strong influence on the acclaimed album, The Boatman's Call (1997), which marked a shift for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds away from punk rock towards more sombre, piano-based music. Cave wrote about the break-up between him and Harvey in 2019: "Deep down I suspected that drugs might have been a problem between us, but there were other things too. I still had a certain amount of work to do on my understanding of the concept of monogamy, and Polly had her own issues, I suspect, but I think at the end of the day it came down to the fact that we were both fiercely creative people, each too self-absorbed to ever be able to inhabit the same space in any truly meaningful way. We were like two lost matching suitcases, on a carousel going nowhere...[N]ever one to waste a good crisis, I set about completing The Boatman’s Call."

Jared Kushner (1/10/1981, Capricorn Monkey), Ivanka Trump (10/30/1981, Scorpio Rooster) : The couple married in 2009, and have three children. They became one of the highest profile couples in the world when they both worked as senior White House advisers during the presidency of Trump's father, President Donald Trump. Ivanka Trump described in 2015: "[Kushner's] own dreams are bold, and I love that in someone, but he’s incredibly relaxed and calm. The world could be collapsing around him, and nothing fazes him. He’s very solution oriented. Plus, it was nice finding someone who is a genuinely good person. I don’t take that for granted. I feel really lucky to have met, like, a great New Jersey boy."

George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), Marcia Lucas (10/4/1945, Libra Rooster) : The director and film editor were married from 1969 to 1983. They had an adopted child together. The couple famously collaborated on the Star Wars trilogy, with Marcia Lucas winning an Academy Award for her editing work. Marcia described in 1983: "I love editing and I’m real gifted at it. I have an innate ability to take good material and make it better, or take bad material and make it fair. I’m compulsive about it. I think I’m even an editor in real life."

Venus Williams (6/17/1980, Gemini Monkey), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The sisters are two of the most successful professional tennis players in the history of the game. Venus Williams described in 2021: "I think we're each other's hero. I know that I'm the oldest sister so it's different, but [Serena is] in the sense that she's my younger sister and she's the only one [of my siblings] younger than me. So she's the only one that I have to like 'take care of.' So she's my, everything in that sense. And she's the best younger sister you could ever have. She's so protective. And I learned so much from her on, off the court and I couldn't have been the person that I am or won any titles really without cause I watched her."

Kim Kardashian (10/21/1980, Libra Monkey), Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster) : The media personality and comedian formed a high-profile couple when they dated between 2021 and 2022. In 2022, Kardashian described: "It feels good just to know that, like, [Davidson and I] have this connection and we have our little bubble of a relationship world that we live in that, like, not a lot of people know about. We were driving in the car yesterday and I just, like, looked at him and I was like, 'Thank you.' And he was like, 'What?' And I was like, 'For running errands with me, like, this is so much fun just to go to a doctor’s appointment or go to the dentist and just, like, run errands. I’m having so much fun.'"

Kylie Minogue (5/28/1968, Gemini Monkey), Nick Cave (9/22/1957, Virgo Rooster) : The two Australian singers became friends after they collaborated on the song, 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' (1996), which they have continued to perform live together since. Minogue has described: "Everything I did with [Cave] was just so tender and epic and close. He’s so amazing and loving, and it’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever done. He’s definitely infiltrated my life in beautiful and profound ways."

21 Savage (10/22/1992, Libra Monkey), Metro Boomin (9/16/1993, Virgo Rooster) : The rapper and producer have established one of the most prolific and successful collaborations in contemporary hip-hop, including the EP, Savage Mode (2016), and the albums, Without Warning (2017) (with Offset), and Savage Mode II (2020). The narration for Savage Mode II, spoken by Morgan Freeman, includes this introduction: "Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles and still be in the same place. They can be years or even generations apart in age. And yet, somehow, find themselves on the exact same page. When these men join forces to put the focus of reaching the same goals, to attain the same outcomes, they are not two, but one. Instead of simply adding one's common attributes to another's, they somehow tend to multiply all attributes of both. Whether from [Metro Boomin's home] St. Louis or [21 Savage's home] East Atlanta, whether from a savage land or a booming metropolis, whether they are two or two billion, the greatest their numbers could ever become, is to truly become one."

Miley Cyrus (11/23/1992, Sagittarius Monkey), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : The two singers share a strong friendship, and famously performed together at the One Love Manchester benefit concert in 2017. Referencing their performance, Cyrus said: "Ariana’s an open book. She has always shared her experiences with this beautiful blend of reality and the fantasy that pop culture requires. But holding her in my arms that night and feeling her shake from the loss of lives, literally feeling her heart pounding against mine – when you can let down the personas and cry with the rest of the world, it’s unifying. It’s a reminder that music can be our greatest healer."
