We've all heard it said that "opposites attract," but in some cases, similarities do too! According to many zodiac enthusiasts, couples who share a sign could be destined for their relationship to fail, since the pairs often share the less attractive traits associated with their signs. But it turns out not all same-sign pairings are created equal.
A Taurus and a Taurus, for example, can expect a strong, stable relationship because they often have the same goals and are skilled at seeing things practically. A pair of Leos, on the other hand, can be a tumultuous affair because of their tendencies to compete and struggle for power. If nothing else, a pair of zodiac matches can at least expect to save on birthday party costs, right? Here are 10 celebrity couples who share a zodiac sign (for better or for worse!).
10 Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick (Aries)
As if these two could be any more #couplegoals, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick also share the Aries birth sign. The two celebrated their birthdays (his on March 21st, hers on March 25th) together when they starred opposite each other in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in 1996 and were married the following year.
9 Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal (Sagittarius)
We're not suggesting that two Sagittari is a toxic combo, but these two aren't together anymore, so...? Sagittari are known for valuing their independence and for being commit-phobes, so this definitely seems to track with the two December babies' short-lived romance. At least we got two songs out of it - "All Too Well" off of Red and "Coney Island" off evermore are said to be about Jake Gyllenhaal.
8 Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka (Gemini)
Geminis are typically inquisitive and intelligent, outgoing and adaptable, so Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka must get along famously even after 14 years together. But Geminis have a dark underside to them that we hope they've learned to navigate: inconsistent and double-faced (the twins, remember?), judgmental and anxious.
7 Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff (Libra)
Libras are known for being passionate and romantic, so Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff are probably great at keeping the spark alive. Last October, Kamala took to Twitter to wish Doug a happy birthday on the 13th, even as she was so busy on the campaign trail, proving she prioritizes words of affection and romance. With her birthday a week later on October 20th, let's hope they got to spend some more quality time together after the campaign was over.
6 Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres (Aquarius)
Though there are 15 years between them, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres celebrate their birthdays just days apart, with Ellen on January 26th and Portia on January 31st. When Ellen turned 60 in 2018, Portia dropped by the set of Ellen to announce her incredible gift: The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, a center for research and education in Rwanda.
5 Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd (Virgo)
Virgos are supposedly very organized, efficient, and driven, which makes Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd's long marriage and business partnership make so much more sense! They can trust each other with their multiple companies because they each have those classic Virgo qualities. Ken celebrates his birthday on August 24th, while Lisa's is on September 15th. There's quite an age gap, though - he's 16 years older than her.
4 Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (Leo)
With Bennifer back in action, Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod's relationship is long in the rearview mirror. Jennifer Lopez just celebrated her 52nd birthday on July 24th, and Alex Rodriguez's was just a few days later on the 27th. Alex Rodriguez liked a birthday post that Jennifer Lopez's sister posted on Instagram in which she showered praise on J-Lo. Was this Alex's way of saying happy birthday?
3 Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker (Scorpio)
Jealous, secretive, vengeful, resentful...do these sound like traits that make for a good relationship? Probably not, but Scorpios Kendall Jenner, born November 3rd, and Devin Booker, born October 30th must also have the good traits generally associated with the October-November sign to balance it out, like honesty, bravery, loyalty, and ambition.
2 Chelsea Peretti and Jordan Peele (Pisces)
Comedians Chelsea Peretti and Jordan Peele must have the best time together all the time, but for one week in February, we bet it's off the chain. Chelsea's birthday is February 20th, while Jordan's is the 21st. In 2017, they celebrated their birthday month by announcing that they were expecting their first child. Their son arrived that July.
1 Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix (Cancer)
The next generation of Vanderpump stars can take a lesson from Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd, the pair of Virgos at the show's helm. Ariana Madix was born on June 24th, which, you might remember, is Stassi Schroeder's birthday too, and Tom Sandoval blows his candles out a couple weeks later on July 7th, making them both Cancers.
