From Kanye and Kim to Justin and Jessica: Which Celeb Couples are Really Compatible?

By Stephanie Caramelli

We see them on the red carpet, walking through the airport or taking a stroll on the beach. Celebrity couples are everywhere and we can’t get enough of them. Supermarket magazines fly off the shelves when there’s a famous couple on the cover.

So how compatible are these celeb couples when there’s no paparazzi around? Gary Goldschneider’s bestselling book   “The Secret Language of Relationships” offers a very revealing look at different relationship combinations. Let’s put some of Hollywood’s hottest relationships to the Secret Language test:

1. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: This relationship combo is all about being center stage. It almost always focuses on issues greater than the partners’ feelings for each other. Marriage is possible, but this relationship dynamic is more about Kim and Kanye’s joint impact on the world, and less about true love.

2. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: One word: boring. Love affairs between these two are affectionate, but rarely passionate. Jessica and Justin’s marriage could go for years at a very ho-hum pace. The relationship will be satisfying, but uneventful.

3. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan: Channing loves spoiling Jenna and feels like her protector. This combination is good as long as they don’t keep secrets from each other. Tatum and Jenna really need to relate on a deep, emotional level for this marriage to work. Overall, though, it’s a winning combination and ideal for marriage.

4. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds: Sparks definitely fly between Blake and Ryan. Love affairs in this combination are extremely passionate, but there is an emphasis on superficial things that could be destructive in the long run. For these two, the chemistry is great, as long as they don’t lose their looks! The combination is most ideal for a love affair.

5. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale: The relationship between Gwen and Gavin can work, as long as power trips don’t get in the way.  Love and marriage can fall apart in this combination if one or both of the partners let their ambitions get out of control.  Gwen and Gavin are better suited as friends.

Of course, you can use “The Secret Language of Relationships” to check out your own relationships too. Not just with your boyfriend, but with your mom, child or BFF.
