Love Horoscopes Aligned for These Celebrity Couples

These celebrity couples have compatible zodiac signs, which means their love horoscopes make astrological sense.

When it comes to star-studded romances, some are really in the stars. The astrological signs of these famous couples are so compatible that it makes sense that they are such a strong match.

It’s true that there’s a lot more that goes into a relationship than simply your zodiac sign. And it’s also true that there’s a lot more to your zodiac chart than your sun sign. But it’s hard to deny that many of these celebrities seem to fit the mold of their sun sign — and so do their partners.

Here is a handful of some of the most famous couples whose love horoscopes align.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

Birthdays: Oct. 23 and Aug. 25

Astrological match: Scorpio and Virgo

Year they got together: 2011

How they met: A double date (with other people)

Why they work: Both of these celebrities are on the cusp of their star signs, which means they’ll have elements of other signs in them. Reynolds is an intense Scorpio, but he has a healthy influence of that Libra charm. And Lively is a perfectionist Virgo, but she has some influence from the freer Leo as well. Scorpio and Virgo are an awesome match that not only understands and supports each other’s endeavors but also can meet each other with the same level of intensity for life. And Libra and Leo are also a great match. So these two are matched on multiple levels. It totally makes sense that they’re one of the most solid couples in Hollywood.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Birthdays: Jan. 26 and Jan. 31

Astrological match: Aquarius and Aquarius

Year they got together: 2004

How they met: First at a party in 2000, but reconnected after VH1’s Big in ‘04 awards show

Why they work: Sometimes, to an Aquarius, the only people who truly understand them are their own signs. This intensely independent and fiercely self-expressive sign needs a partner that won’t try to cage or boss them in any way — that will allow them to really flourish into their best selves. Degeneres and de Rossi are two peas in a pod in that respect. They truly seem to understand each other and want to support each other in any way possible, while still giving plenty of space and independence to their partner.

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker

Birthdays: March 21 and March 25

Astrological match: Aries and Aries

Year they got together: 1991

How they met: On Broadway, of course

Why they work: If you want to match the fire of an Aries, you often need the fire of another Aries. The first sign in the zodiac matches up with springtime because it’s literally bursting with energy. And Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker are two energy matches that can (figuratively) light a fire under each other on multiple levels. Creatively, they both love harnessing energy to manifest successful projects into the world. They’re happy giving each other space to do their own thing. And when they get together, on or off stage, magic happens. It’s no surprise these two have been together for so many years, supporting each other’s ongoing projects while even sometimes collaborating when the chance arises.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo

Birthdays: Nov. 9 and Nov. 9

Astrological match: Scorpio and Scorpio

Year they got together: 2006

How they met: While filming a music video for Nick Lacey’s 2006 song “What’s Left of Me”

Why they work: You don’t need to have matching sun signs to be a perfect match with someone. Sometimes, it can be a disaster. But in the case of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, it’s clearly a big success. And they don’t just match signs — they match actual birthdays (though seven years apart). These two Scorpios share a deep understanding of each other — not only when their partner needs to feel supported but also when they need to feel loved. As long as they’re on the same page in terms of goals and don’t face any major disagreements (which these two haven’t in the many years they’ve been together), this is a match made in astrological heaven.

Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas

Birthdays: Sept. 25 and Sept. 25

Astrological match: Libra and Libra

Year they got together: 1998

How they met: At the Deauville Film Festival in France through mutual friends

Why they work: Another couple that shares not only horoscope signs but actual birthdays is this long-term Hollywood match. Of course, they have a 20-year age difference, but that doesn’t make them any less compatible. As an air sign, Libras are sociable and highly communicative. And while no marriage, just like no match, is completely perfect, these two certainly have a matching skillset to effectively talk through whatever issues may come up. Combine that with a double dose of natural charm and a genuine love for socializing, and you get two very compatible people.

Oprah and Stedman

Birthdays: Jan. 29 and March 6

Astrological match: Aquarius and Pisces

Year they got together: 1986

How they met: At a charity event

Why they work: While these two may not, on the surface, seem like a perfect match, they actually get each other on a very deep level. Aquarius people relish in their independence and individuality. Pisces like to do things on their own terms and in their own way. So on that level, they very much understand each other. The biggest challenge either of these signs can have in finding a good partner is simply being willing to partner up at all. But if they find someone that they have a genuine connection with, it makes choosing to be together not only easy but genuinely fun. And it also makes total sense why they feel no pressure to get married or have a conventional relationship in any sense of the world. They’re in their own bubble, and that is just fine for them.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: Oct. 3 and June 18

Astrological match: Libra and Gemini

Year they got together: 2015

How they met: On the TV show “The Voice”

Why they work: When a charming and chatty Libra (Stefani) meets an equally charming and intelligent Gemini, they’re happy spending the rest of their lives just talking to each other. With Stefani and Shelton, it’s pretty obvious that these two love to spend time with each other. They could talk about anything and always want to talk more. Both of these singers have a lot of energy and curiosity, which they clearly channel into ventures outside of their musical careers.

Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld

Evan Agostini / AP Photo

Birthdays: April 29 and Sept. 12

Astrological match: Taurus and Virgo

Year they got together: 1998

How they met: At a Reebok Sports Club

Why they work: Tauruses are notoriously methodical at making choices. But once they’ve made them, they’re all in. And for a while in the 1990s, it seemed like the perpetual bachelor, Jerry Seinfeld, would never make the choice to get married — until, of course, his perfect (Virgo) match Jessica came along. Virgos understand the patience of a Taurus. They also want to achieve big things in life, so they’re supportive of taking your time when you need to. As naturally smart humans, Virgos often have wicked senses of humor, which would be necessary when married to one of the richest comedians in the world.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: May 1 and Sept. 21

Astrological match: Taurus and Virgo

Year they got together: 1994

How they met: At a Country Radio Seminar showcase

Why they work: The nice part about a Taurus and Virgo matchup is that these two are both incredibly hardworking individuals. On their own, they can make waves. But together, they’re unstoppable. With these two country music superstars, that certainly seems to be the case. When McGraw met Hill, he said he knew he met his wife. In true Taurus form, he patiently waited until she realized the same thing. These two signs (and singers) share a very deep bond.

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: Nov. 22 and June 29

Astrological match: Scorpio and Cancer

Year they got together: 2017

How they met: Originally they met in 2006 when Johansson first hosted “Saturday Night Live” but later hit it off when she hosted again in 2017

Why they work: While some signs might be overwhelmed at the strength and deepness of a Scorpio’s personality, Cancers welcome it with a big hug. And you’ve never really experienced a good hug until you’ve had a loving hug from a Cancer. Johansson is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, but she’s also got a wicked sense of humor. And her Cancer-signed “Saturday Night Live” writer husband, Jost, can provide a great sounding board and happy home for the demands of her crazy schedule.

Chrissy Tiegan and John Legend

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: Nov. 30 and Dec. 28

Astrological match: Sagittarius and Capricorn

Year they got together: 2006

How they met: While filming Legend’s “Stereo” music video

Why they work: This is another matchup that technically shouldn’t make a lot of sense. The highly practical and sensible Capricorn prefers to work and achieve more than anything. And the incredibly playful and spontaneous Sagittarius is happy doing pretty much anything except working. But because the personality types are so insanely different, they can actually be very good for each other. And this celebrity couple certainly embodies that. Tiegan is notoriously fun-loving with a hilarious sense of humor. And Legend has clearly worked very hard to achieve an incredibly successful musical career. So, while he brings her some grounding and support, she (very obviously) brings a lot of fun into their lives.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Birthdays: June 21 and Jan. 9

Astrological match: Cancer and Capricorn

Year they got together: 2001

How they met: At the University of St. Andrews.

Why they work: Both Cancer and Capricorn are the cardinal signs. That often means they’re a bit more pragmatic and level-headed than signs in their same element. For the watery Cancer, that means seeking a practical, loving family environment. And for earthy Capricorn, that means understanding that, in order to achieve big things, you have to work very hard (and often put up with lots of less-than-exciting elements of any job). Together, they’ll stick by each other’s side to help build a solid family life right alongside their respective careers, which very much seems to be the case with these two.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: July 9 and Oct. 26

Astrological match: Cancer and Scorpio

Year they got together: 1981

How they met: On the set of “Bosom Buddies”

Why they work: Hollywood is filled with flash-in-the-pan relationships. But Hanks and Wilson are often brought up as the exception. A famous, high-achieving Cancer like Hanks has already proven he can charm almost anyone he comes in contact with. But Scorpios aren’t as easily impressed as many other signs. Once you do impress them, as Hanks clearly did with Wilson, a Scorpio can give a Cancer the type of passionate connection and security they need at home in order to flourish elsewhere.

Elton John and David Furnish

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: March 25 and Oct. 25

Astrological match: Aries and Scorpio

Year they got together: 1993

How they met: Through mutual friends.

Why they work: Aries is a fire sign. Scorpio is a water sign. Theoretically, fire and water don’t get along very well. And in the case of this fire and water matchup, they’re both also very feisty and powerful signs with a lot of energy and passion that can scare most people off. Oh, and they’re both also ruled by Mars, a notoriously powerful and somewhat hot-headed planetary ruler.

But because of that shared passion and understanding, they can actually get along really well. In fact, Furnish has proved to be not only incredibly supportive of his iconic partner, but he’s also plenty successful in his own right. Nothing about Elton John’s loud style or flare would scare a strong-willed Scorpio like Furnish one bit. And the Aries singer has often said throughout the years that Furnish has brought him a much-needed level of connection and security he didn’t have before.

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell

Birthdays: Jan. 2 and July 18

Astrological match: Capricorn and Cancer

Year they got together: 2007

How they met: At a dinner party where, at first, sparks weren’t flying

Why they work: When Kristen Bell first met Dax Shepard, they had both gotten out of relationships, and she was not interested in him at all. Because Cancers like Bell make such strong love connections when they decide to open up, they can easily and often do keep people at arm’s length when they’re not ready. But a Capricorn like Shepard isn’t scared of a little work. And after one more hangout session, she started to realize that maybe there could be a connection between them. Many years, ups and downs, and two children later, they admit that their relationship can still be work, but it’s a work that both their star signs are more than capable of committing to.

Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith

Danny Moloshok / AP Photo

Birthdays: April 10 and Aug. 16

Astrological match: Aries and Leo

Year they got together: 2015

How they met: Through an Instagram post

Why they work: Leave it to a Leo to slide into someone’s DMs after a compliment. That’s exactly what singer Taylor Goldsmith did after Mandy Moore posted an enthusiastic Instagram picture of his band’s latest album. While some signs might be off-put by someone feeling bold enough to respond to a general post put out into the world, nothing really scares an Aries. So, needless to say, when things turned from IG flirting into real-life dates, these two clearly felt a spark immediately. A creative and confident Leo, like Goldsmith, is going to want a partner just as creative and confident. And a successful Aries like Moore is certainly more than up to the task.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

Andy Kropa / AP Photo

Birthdays: June 15 and May 29

Astrological match: Gemini and Gemini

Year they got together: 2004

How they met: Through a mutual friend

Why they work: Geminis are outgoing, intelligent and highly energetic people. They’re always thinking about and working on a million things at a time. For some more practical or slower-moving signs, this approach to life could get exhausting. But for a fellow Gemini, it’s heaven. So, it’s no surprise that Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, both Geminis, feel such a strong connection to each other. They not only match wits, but they also match energy levels. And, as is often the case in any relationship or marriage, they can also help keep each other looking at the more positive side of life when the other might feel down.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

Birthdays: Nov. 21 and March 17

Astrological match: Scorpio and Pisces

Year they got together: 1983

How they met: First in 1966, but later again in 1983 on the set of “Swing Shift”

Why they work: Even though they’ve never officially been married, these two are easily one of the longest-standing and strongest couples in all of Hollywood. As two water signs, they lead with their feelings and their instincts. A deeply sensitive Scopio, like Hawn, needs a partner who can understand her on an intuitive level. And the almost otherworldly emotional energy of a Pisces, like Russell, can both match and complement that emotional energy on every level. Neither of these signs has a need for external validation outside of their own relationship, so it also makes sense why they’ve never felt compelled to officially say “I do.”

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: Sept. 16 and July 18

Astrological match: Virgo and Cancer

Year they got together: 2018

How they met: At the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party after some flirty social media messages, though they’d remain friends for a year before they started dating

Why they work: Virgos like Nick Jonas can be really particular about what they want and need. They’re incredibly picky, mostly because they’ve often done enough work on their own selves that they enjoy their own company. But if you can get a Virgo’s attention, they will give you all of it. And the highly successful international model and star Priyanka Chopra will turn almost anyone’s head with her Cancer charisma, stunning features and natural likability. Astrologically, the Virgo is happiest working hard to meticulously make sure i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed, while Cancer is reminding them to relax and enjoy a nice midday swim with the family. They’re an awesome balance for each other, and it’s no wonder these two hit it off.

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardiem

Birthdays: April 28 and March 1

Astrological match: Taurus and Pisces

Year they got together: 2007

How they met: On the set of “Vicky Christina Barcelona”

Why they work: Neither a Taurus nor a Pisces is interested in settling. Or, for that matter, settling down. Because of that trait, these two will really understand each other. And, if they deem their partner worthy, they will happily choose to be by their side for life. A Taurus, like Cruz, will provide a lot of grounding, patience and practicality that a Pisces, like Bardiem, doesn’t naturally have. In turn, the Pisces will be fascinatingly creative in all their endeavors and incredibly loving to their partner in a way that the sensual Taurus will deeply appreciate. Both signs can be incredibly private, so it’s not a big surprise that these two have been married for so long but rarely discuss their partnership publicly.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

Evan Agostini / AP Photo

Birthdays: April 28 and Jan. 10

Astrological match: Taurus and Capricorn

Year they got together: 2004

How they met: On the set of the movie “Fantastic Four”

Why they work: If this astrological match had a theme song, it would be Rihanna’s hit “Work.” The steadfast and stubborn Taurus has never met a challenge it can’t overcome. And the practical and ambitious Capricorn is happiest while working to achieve big dreams. Even though these two met when Alba was already a big household name, it’s no surprise that their partnership helped her company, The Honest Company, flourish into a major brand. And they’ve managed to do that while also raising a happy family. Both those things take incredible amounts of work, but that’s what both these signs do best.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Scott Roth / AP Photo

Birthdays: March 18 and May 16

Astrological match: Pisces and Taurus

Year they got together: 2012

How they met: First through emails when Levine was looking to cast a woman in his music video and shortly later in person

Why they work: Before meeting his wife, Levine was open about never wanting to settle down or get married. He talked about it in lots of interviews and enjoyed the single, rockstar lifestyle. Many Pisces, like Levine, are genuinely content simply creating and living in their own worlds, only letting people come in and out as they decide. But if a Pisces finds something irresistible, they have to have it. And in the case of the Taurus Prinsloo, she is comfortable helping to build a home life and family that provides the rockstar with more grounding than he likely ever thought possible. Levine was publicly accused of cheating in 2022, with screenshots of inappropriate messages posted online. He remorsefully admitted to having crossed a line with the flirtatious interactions, but denied having an affair. The couple is still together and are committed to working through problems together. Since Tauruses are so trustworthy themselves, they are naturally trustworthy of their partners and allow them to have the type of space that a Pisces needs to retain in order to be happy. Considering Levine’s less than impressive conduct, maybe a little less space is due down the line.

Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone

Richard Shotwell / AP Photo

Birthdays: Aug. 26 and Aug. 25

Astrological match: Virgo and Virgo

Year they got together: 1998

How they met: In a comedy writing class at the Groundlings theater

Why they work: In order to maintain a successful relationship, you always have to be on the same page. And that’s exactly how Melissa McCarthy describes her relationship with her longtime partner and husband, Ben Falcone. Even though there are a lot of factors involved in the compatibility behind these two (sense of humor being a major one), it doesn’t hurt that they’re both Virgos. Two Virgos together is a relationship filled with trust, hard work, meticulousness and plenty of practicalities. In both their respective entertainment careers and in their personal lives, these two apply that famous Virgo meticulousness to make sure they get everything they want out of life. And the elements of their own personality that they find to be important are going to be what they see and love about their partner as well. Plus, they can be insanely funny, as obviously proven here.

Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann

Evan Agostini / Evan Agostini/Invision/AP

Birthdays: Dec. 6 and March 26

Astrological match: Sagittarius and Aries

Year they got together: 1996

How they met: Mann auditioned for a role in “The Cable Guy,” which Apatow was producing.

Why they work: A bold Aries is going to make even a fast-moving Sagittarius stop for a minute. Sagittariuses can be spontaneous and are a whole lot of fun to be around, which makes it no surprise that Judd Apatow has been able to channel that personality trait into a successful comedy career. And a funny Aries like Leslie Mann who doesn’t hold back, doesn’t play games and tells it like it is can make a great match. Aries will bring some much-needed structure into their partner’s life, and Sagittarius will make sure that the duo is never bored. And these adventurous and hilarious celebrities seem to embody all of that and more.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

Jordan Strauss / AP Photo

Birthdays: July 24 and Aug. 15

Astrological match: Leo and Leo

Year they got together: First in 2001, then again in 2021

How they met: On the set of their 2003 film “Gigli”

Why they work: When two Leos love each other, everyone needs to know about it. And they do mean everyone. This explosive pairing first made waves in the early 2000s with big, showy tokens of love that can only be given by a Leo and, honestly, are only really appreciated by a fellow Leo. According to some sources, Affleck gave Lopez over $2.5 million in gifts during their first relationship, including a Rolls-Royce. Now that they’re back together after 17 years, they’re more than happy sharing red carpets, matching outfits, gushing in social media posts and all-out screaming from the rooftops (a very Leo trait) that they are in love and everyone should be happy for them. While this type of publicity could make other signs shy away, attention is basically the love language of Leos.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden

benjaminmadden / Instagram

Birthdays: Aug. 30 and March 11

Astrological match: Virgo and Pisces

Year they got together: 2014

How they met: At a dinner party at her home

Why they work: When a Pisces like Madden needs his space, a Virgo like Diaz is more than happy to spend time with their own thoughts (or curl up with a good book). Though it’s impossible to know what the notoriously private couple might actually do with their time together, it’s no surprise that these two would get along. They’re on opposite ends of the astrological chart because, in many ways, they’re perfect balances for each other. As long as you can communicate well and have shared goals, those balances can make for an excellent partnership.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart

Evan Agostini / AP Photo

Birthdays: July 13 and Nov. 11

Astrological match: Cancer and Scorpio

Year they got together: 2002

How they met: At the Golden Globes

Why they work: These two have quietly remained a stable and happy couple in Hollywood. Though they go in and out of the spotlight, they seem to have each other’s backs no matter what the other might be up to. As a Cancer who has spent decades in the public eye, Ford has to appreciate having a partner who simultaneously understands what it is to be on camera but also understands the importance of building a life off of it. And a fierce Scorpio like Flockhart will respect and protect her partner’s needs on all fronts.
