They were together for 28 years before they married in 2011. Shortly before their marriage, Simmons joked about his reputation as a serial womanizer during a television interview, and Tweed swore at him and walked out. She has described, "You can't change someone, but you can see their potential and hope for the best, if you've got the patience." Simmons seems to have turned over a new leaf; in 2018, he was quoted as saying about the relationship, "For 29 years ... I was a jackass."

Cameron Diaz (8/30/1972, Virgo Rat), Benji Madden (3/11/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and musician have been married since 2015. To celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, Madden published a statement saying, "The only real challenge we have is making time go slower cause life goes by fast in the happy lane."

Aaron Paul (8/27/1979, Virgo Sheep), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors co-starred memorably in Breaking Bad, often acclaimed as one of the best TV shows of all time. They have gone on to co-found the business, Dos Hombres mezcal. Paul described in 2022: "I grew so much as an actor because of [Cranston]...I say it every time I'm with him. I love this man so much. I get so incredibly emotional. He is truly a father figure, an older brother figure, that I just love and adore so much, and the fact we get to kind of be in cahoots again...It's a [expletive] dream. It's truly a dream."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Felicia Montealegre (3/3/1922, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated classical musician/composer and actor were married from 1951 to 1978 and had three children together. Throughout their relationship, Bernstein pursued relationships with men, which Montealegre openly accepted. She wrote him a letter shortly after the marriage, saying: "[Y]ou are a homosexual and may never change—you don’t admit to the possibility of a double life, but if your peace of mind, your health, your whole nervous system depends on a certain sexual pattern what can you do? ...I am willing to accept you as you are, without being a martyr or sacrificing myself on the L.B. altar. (I happen to love you very much—this may be a disease and if it is what better cure?) Let’s try and see what happens if you are free to do as you like, but without guilt and confession, please!"

Sam Kerr (9/10/1993, Virgo Rooster), Kristie Mewis (2/25/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The two international professional footballers have reportedly been in a relationship since 2021. Their careers mean their relationship often has to be long distance—Kerr represents Australia and plays for Chelsea in the UK, while Mewis represents the USA and plays for American club, NJ/NY Gotham FC. In a joint 2023 interview, Kerr described: "We set little milestones and we make time during the week where we’ll watch the same show and FaceTime or have dinner together or something. But it's tough. I think the thing that keeps us going is that we can see an end point...She fully gets it and I get it. So we just support each other. The end point is that we'll eventually live in the same place. It's just after our careers are dust." Mewis said, "I feel like we're each other's breath of fresh air. We get it that we don't want to talk about [soccer]. I just feel like it's a comfort zone thing. If I have a bad game or if I lose I always know that I have her. I think that's something that we always say, we always know in the back of our head that if things go bad or things go wrong, we always have each other."

Claudia Schiffer (8/25/1970, Virgo Dog), Matthew Vaughn (3/7/1971, Pisces Pig) : The supermodel and film director have been married since 2002 and have three children. In 2005, Schiffer described, "I'd never found anyone that perfect and I just thought, oh, there's no perfect man out there. Then I met him. He had everything I wanted in a man. He completely swept me off my feet. We are so similar in many ways. We got on like a house on fire from the minute we met. It was really natural."

Gloria Estefan (9/1/1957, Virgo Rooster), Emilio Estefan (3/4/1953, Pisces Snake) : The two musicians have been married since 1978 and have two children together. Gloria Estefan described in 2021, "We're very different, Emilio and I, so it's a good balance. But in the things that really matter — values, priorities, morals, even business—we rarely are on separate sides. We're very much in tune on those things."

June Carter (6/23/1929, Cancer Snake), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : After a difficult courtship—both were religious and married to other people when they met—these two legendary country music stars were married from 1968 until 2003. They collaborated extensively, including on the albums, Carryin' On With Johnny Cash & June Carter (1967), Johnny Cash and His Woman (1973), Return to the Promised Land (2000), and Duets (2006). According to one biographer, Cash's first words on meeting Carter were, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash and I'm going to marry you someday."

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The actor and musician were in an intimate relationship for 12 years, off and on, including a short-lived marriage. Fisher wrote in her memoir, Wishful Drinking: "Paul and I dated for six years, married for two, divorced for one, and then we had good memories of each other so what do you think we did? ... We dated again."

Tom Brady (8/3/1977, Leo Snake), Gisele Bündchen (7/20/1980, Cancer Monkey) : The model and NFL legend meet in 2006 were married from 2009 to 20022. They have two children, and Bündchen is stepmother to Brady's child from a previous relationship (with Bridget Moynahan). Bündchen described early in their relationship: "You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other." Their break-up followed Brady's decision to return to playing NFL football only six weeks after announcing his retirement in February 2022. Shortly before their separation was announced, Bündchen described: "Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like [Brady] to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again."

René Angélil (1/16/1942, Capricorn Snake), Celine Dion (3/30/1968, Aries Monkey) : The music producer and singer first met when Angélil heard a demo Dion recorded as a 12-year old. As well as business partners, the pair were married from 1994 until his death in 2016, and had twins together. Dion said in 2013, "We laugh. We joke. We kid each other. We want our marriage to last forever. Talk over everything and you’ll find you are still on the honeymoon. Communication — it’s the most important. It’s the secret."

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Selena Gomez (7/22/1992, Cancer Monkey) : The superstar musician and singer/actor have been close friends since 2008. Swift described in a joint interview: "There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met [Gomez] I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her." Gomez added: "There's so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don't know about because we don't necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do. She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It's been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don't agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything."

Robin Dearden (12/4/1953, Sagittarius Snake), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1989. A year after Cranston held Dearden at gunpoint in an episode of Airwolf, they met up again and spontaneously shared a lingering kiss. Cranston has recounted, "We were both like, 'Wait that was too long, wasn’t it?'...And that is really what happened."

Dizzy Gillespie (10/21/1917, Libra Snake), Charlie Parker (8/29/1920, Virgo Monkey) : The two jazz legends collaborated extensively during the 1940s, becoming pivotal contributors to the development of bebop and modern jazz. Gillespie's memoir, To Be or Not to Bop (1985) described: "[Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker] made a gigantic contribution, which really added a new dimension to the music. It’s hard to describe it exactly, he contributed so many different elements...'Bird' has some notes in his melodies, the lines that he wrote, that are deep, deep notes, as deep as anything Beethoven ever wrote. And he had little things that he used to play inside. He’d play other tunes inside the chords of the original melody, and they were always right...Charlie Parker was something else."

Björk (11/21/1965, Scorpio Snake), Thom Yorke (10/7/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two musicians collaborated on the track "I’ve Seen It All" (with Sjón and Lars von Trier) from the soundtrack for Dancer in the Dark (2000). Bjork described at the time: "I respect [Yorke] very much. He’s very shy and uncertain and doesn’t [reveal] too much of himself. That’s why it’s quite hard for me to explain what he’s like. I can’t do him justice. But he’s a very special person. When he enters a room he affects the whole atmosphere in a very positive way...His work is based on communication and understanding. He’s very down-to-earth and not egocentric at all. We worked together for three or four days, which I’m very grateful about. We worked together with songs, which I had worked on during three years not knowing what to do with them. Thanks to him these songs saw a new light of day and that was a wonderful experience." In 2006, Yorke said Bjork's "Unravel" was, "[O]ne of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard."
